374 being the Epilogue has Y4- (can’t make out the rest). I do see $15.95 cover price. Just not the “First Edition” on the copyright page

I don't think it's a first edition unfortunately. Here's a guide to Stephen King first editions: https://stephenking.com/other/identifying_first_editions.pdf

LOL I knew no one would like the story. Guy had piles of almost all dreck for “$2-3” each. So I was making myself a pile, saw this and thought “That looks like ‘80s TMNT, maybe it was a catalogue insert or something.” Had nine other books, offered the guy $20.

I had never heard of it before!

Well if this was a silver or gold, you'd be jizzing your pants if you bought them for $2!  Nice grab....

Little skeeved out here, but thanks. Just checked and the other $2-apiece books included Blood Syndicate #35, Deathstroke 15, Icon 31, Marc Spector 35, Punisher Annual 2, Punisher War Journal 6, and Static 43. Later Milestone books show up at flea markets, I find, I just can't always remember when those runs ended...

It’s been a while. flea market buys

Another Half Price Books score.

 

we have two stores in my area.  One never has anything in the lock boxes, but the other clearly has someone who knows comics since they have a good idea of key comics - but the prices are WAY high.

Went to a small local show today where the main dealer sells book at 50 for $20. Pulled these out as well as 146 other books. Not too bad snagging a Stormwatch 4 for forty cents.

I remember opening up both of these as a kid. Still have most the Aliens figures but I think all the X-Men are MIA sadly. Nice finds!

Sunday (today) is a 'picking' day for me at my local Swap Meet. I accidentally slept in by 25 minutes as I usually arrive there shortly after 6. Wifey and I hit the usual lady who brings in her home picked oranges (fresh OJ and all), and then I was off. I went through the first time quickly, then I slowed it down. In the second row corner, a spot I had ignored the first time around, there was a woman selling stuff, and as I got closer I saw a buyer holding up what looked to be original comic art. It was. He patiently waited to ask how much it was, and I circled close, wondering if he was going to buy it. When she announced she wanted $25 for the two pages and a 'Revenge of the Creature' original movie lobby card (sans Creature, but still cool), I thought that was that. 

Obviously it was too much for him, and without making an offer, he set the grouping down. I sprang around the corner like a hobbled ninja, and asked her the same question, already knowing the answer, and she gave me the same reply. She knew that they were actual original art pages and we chatted for a few moments and I happily gave her the amount she asked for. She mentioned that several other folks had looked at them before me, but apparently no one was interested. She was glad I was happy...and I was. I don't have any Irv Novick in my collection, and now I do. 

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes, a comic / art collector gets lucky. Art by Irv Novick and Frank McLaughlin from DC Comics Presents and they are consecutive battle pages (18 and 19) where they defeat the alien octopus (should I have given a spoiler warning there?)

People often ask me what I buy at shows. “Anything flat” is my pat answer. Although, I’m not opposed to “non flat” items…
