Justice Machine from Noble Comics

[40sJohn]

Are Justice Machine from Noble Comics (1981) doing anything in the market these days? I have found a few issues, including a #1 signed by Gustovich. Probably better if Byrne had signed it?

Define 'doing anything'. If you mean worth something, it will always have value by lining a bird cage with it.

I used to love The Justice Machine... Elementals too....

Myself, I never really got into Justice Machine, but I did read Elementals. (thumbs u

Great. I would have to buy a birdcage for my Justice Machine books to be worth anything. Probably would have to buy a bird too to make lining the cage worthwhile.

i have the distinct feeling my Justice Machine books are going to wind up in a library sometime in the future

Libraries? Bird cages? So much for the early '80s independent movement!

Interestingly enough, I put #1-4 on eBay, start at $.99, no reserve, and with more than 2 days left, it's at $11. :shrug:

It's not that much of a surprise. As a collector of this type of material it's hard to put complete sets together on the cheap. Yes, piles of random issues are still almost worthless, but try and find that last issue or two you need for a full publisher set.

point taken, but he's talking about issues 1-4. not the hardest to find on this run, i'd imagine. i've got the first twelve or thirteen and the Texas Comics Annual with the first Elementals appearance, and before this i would have thought 11 bux would be what i might expect to get for all of them together

Mycomicshop.com have something like 80% of all American comics ever published in stock. Most of what they are missing is the pre-1965 stuff.

 

Here is Justice Machine...

3 issues from the run out of stock.

 

Mile High have only 1 issue in NM

and are asking a couple of bucks or more for FN copies.

Ended at $16.49, and the bidder paid immediately. Like most auctions on eBay, this might be an anomaly, but what the heck. If Earl is correct, toss the entire run up in an auction and keep your fingers crossed.

[Sal]

yeah, so obviously i was thinking about the 1985 series from Comico. many thanks to both Earl and Jeff for being gentlemanly, and not pointing out that obvious fact.

 

 

 

i only have the fifth issue of the 1981 Noble series. amazing - amazing, i say - that this series didn't go anywhere. Cobalt Blue, people! Hello?

 

At any rate, i would have expected a final price on the first four to be right in line with what Jeff got for his set

[Jeffreykli]

Yeah, although to be fair, I probably wouldn't have bid top dollar for my recent auctions, since I was lazy and took digital pictures. Didn't really care, though.
