It doesn't make people disappear, and threads are safe too. Wait - what was that noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 So if I stand at a mirror and say ''PGX'' 3 times, pgx slabs won't fly out and kill me? No, but a wallet shark may attack you if you crack a PGX slab open to find out what is inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Someone was asking how to identify later printings on Crow #1-4. Look below the legend, and if it is a second or third printing on issues #1-2 or a second printing on #3, it will state it with the new printing date. #4 had no later printings. Also, on Crow #3 when they created a second printing, they used a high-end paper for the cover. You will see this glossy shine to the cover while a first printing will have a flat cover.

chriswALKEN Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I missed it because it says "published 1989" but then like in the picture it states the printing years for the second and third printings at the very bottom. For instance my copy of #1 says published 1989 but at the bottom list the years for 2nd and 3rd, so I'm still a little confused. Did they already know they were going to make 2nd and 3rd printings in the 1st printing? I know it may seem obvious but I'm getting the grasp of the finer things in comic collecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the legend information still states "1989," but the lower portion clarifies it is a later printing and when this was printed. That's the only difference except for Crow 3 second printing with the difference in cover paper quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswALKEN Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 bummer...I was being purposely oblivious to the obvious. It said published in 1989 but also listed the other printings, but I wanted to be hopeful and not think I got ripped off...and so begins the process of reacquiring my money through an ebay purchase gone wrong . Thank you everyone for the quick responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Oh no! So sorry about that. But trust me when I say a few of us early on learned lessons concerning Crow reprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Anyone ever heard of two versions of A Caliber Christmas #1? I was checking the census, and noticed there were two listings for this book. One under "Caliber Comics," the other under "Caliber Press." A Caliber Christmas 1 In checking with Gemma, who did some research, it appears there may be a 1998 version with only one copy in the census.
