Is it still being printed by Labor?

[seanfingh]

damn...thats alot o' printings!

 

how difficult is it to obtain a #1 first? i may finally have an opportunity to buy a comic for the lady as a bday present and get away with it

 

I paid $65 for a CGC 9.4 copy. I really want to get a JV SS book done, so I probably paid a premium but I don't care. Now I just need him to show up somewhere.

someone selling a 26th print on ebay...dont know if thats the current print?

How is this book still selling? You would think people would fill their fix with a trade instead of buying the 20th reprint of #1

It's a cool, funny, and overall VERY DARK work. I enjoyed JTHM quite a bit as a teenager. Definitely speaks to the social angst you feel during that time.

 

Also interesting is that Jhonen, of course, went on to create the much more light-hearted Zim the Invader.

 

It's too bad he stopped doing Zim (and pretty much everything else)

 

Anyone know of a current artist that has a similar style?

I love this series, finally got my hands on a issue #1, 1st printing, had taken me ages to find out what to look out for to ensure it was a 1st printing as it doesn't say inside. Going to get that & Lenore #1 slabbed. If you like this stuff then try Lenore, that is downright spit beer through your nose funny.

There is another comic, I think it is called, 'I Feel Sick'. or quite a funny one called 'Bear'. The cat in that is one weird dude.

10 years after this post was created, I have something to add. 

I have JTHM: Director's Cut Hardcover I bought brand new off the shelf, still in the original plastic wrap.

Amazon has this book mostly used but a few "New". So, what is it worth? And what would it be worth CGC graded above 9.5, today?
