Albedo Volume 1, NR2

[Schmakt]

pretty sure it's Albedo 2,3,4

then The Doomsday Squad #3

[Turtle]

Isn't Albedo #2 the 1st appearance?

 

Is his second appearance noted on a CGC label anywhere?

[Bronty]

2,3,4,5, and I think 6, I forget, all have usagi

 

other early app's include various issues of critters

 

and of course his stand alone series

[Turtle]

Thanks!

 

I wasn't sure if Albedo 3 was his second appearance as these Indie characters have a habit of jumping from title to title before getting a consistent book (see Hellboy, Invincible, the Crow, and Goon).

 

I asked around some indie dealers at a recent show and they all knew the first appearance, but they weren't sure what his second was. Thanks!

I think that Doomsday Squad #3 was widely touted as Usagi's first appearance in color. All the Albedo apps were B&W.

I'd forgot about that, Wayne. Where does Usagi Summer Special come into the picture? I always assumed that was the first color appearance, and it is right before Usagi Vol. 1, #1.

it's #3. but the print run goes

 

2 2000 usagi cover

3 10000 albedo cover

4 3000 usagi cover

 

to me that makes #4 the second best book

Thanks!

Glad I picked up the #4s that I did then.

the print run number for issue#4 is incorrect, the print run was actually 6000 on that issue

[Bronty]

according to what? that 3000 # I recall seeing in the inside fc of one of the thoughts & images books along with the print runs for the other issues as well. I thought #5 was listed at somewhere in that 6-7 k range, but its been a while.

[crackbacks]

the print run is on the usagi website "the dojo"

[Bronty]

hmm, thanks. Anybody have a copy of command review #1 around? Come to think of it I am 99% sure that the runs were published on the inside fc of that issue. Either my memory is faulty or that website.

Print run information is located in the 2nd paragraph.

I've been looking for the yellow cover version of issue#0 (print run of 50) for about 20years now with no luck, does anyone know where I can find one of those?

Thx! 6000 it is.

Can't say I know where to find one... but keep in mind that the "yellow" copies are just misprints of the whites with yellow streaks. I.e. my understanding is that an all-yellow cover doesn't exist and the 50 or so copies called yellow are really... white and yellow. that was mentioned in one of those early thoughts & images books too, I think.

 

hey while we are at it does anyone have a command review 2 handy? it reprinted 5 up so probably has print run info on 5 up

[Bronty]

the above is why you get the weird 50/450/500 yellow/white/blue print run. I always thought a 450 print run was strange. Makes a lot more sense now that I know the intended print run was 500/500. I used to look for yellow #0s too but when I find out they are just defective whites I stopped being interested.

[crackbacks]

well i own the white cover version (450 print run) from my understanding the yellow cover version isn't just yellow streaks, the drawing table on the cover is actually yellow. I've seen a picture of it somewhere, but yeah the cover itself is white

[crackbacks]

Bronty, here's those number from Command Review#2

 

#5 7000 copies

#6 6435

#7 8000

#8 16000
