They are The MEN IN BLACK.

Of course I'm talking about the way BETTER comic series that inspired the movie you either love or hate.

Have you read this 3 part series? What did you think of it?

I liked it. I thought it was great as it focused more on the Paranormal rather then the Alien (Although there were those too) But I think the third story about the ''Demon'' was far better then anything seen in the movies.

Also it was a far more ''realistic'' subdued & dark feel (which I enjoyed) instead of the noisy & light attitude of the movies.

I also wanted to say that while reading this I could not help but think this is where Chris Carter Got the Idea for the X-Files.

RMA and I were just discussing this series not too long ago. I furiously tracked down copies of both series and had had them for several years. I finally read them when i was doing some re-bagging and checking grades. I was underwhelmed to say the least. I did like the demon story the best of all of them. It had a little bit of the danger/humor combo.

 

I was a big fan of the movie and only tracked these down after the movie hype had hit. So those who were into the series may have thought the movie was too campy. I thought it was great, and found the comics to be a little too staid. I also thought the art was amateurish.

That's Aircel for you, although I really enjoyed Samurai and the first six issues of Elflord (still have both).

[dupont2005]

Still have not scored a set of these yet. Plan on it sooner or later though

Ya, the art stunk! My only real hang-up on this.

Try the Terminator series from Now Comics, Vol. 1. The stories were interesting (just re-read the entire 17-issue run). The artwork was like some 10-year old was hired off the street to sketch out whatever they liked.

Some of the cover art I love the cover to the first issue. I think it came out in 1988. I have a bunch of them somewhere.

NICE! But shouldn't there be blood under the skin?

[dupont2005]

I think earlier models aren't biological. They have plastic looking skin and only look like humans from a distance. But they could have retconned that in later because the comics didn't show any blood

Good point, because that was the other thing with Now Comics Terminator books. Even when someone was shot, it looked like they threw a tomato at themselves just to have this splotchy look.

WOW!

[Bosco685]

Whoa!

 

That beat Juggernaut's sale on Ebay by quite a bit.

[NewEnglandGothic]

OK,

I'm just gonna say the actual MIB's made their first appearance during the 50's in New England.

Another one of our fine imports to American culture (Adam Sandler, New England Patriots, etc).

I had a feeling this person would resell. This is exactly the outcome I was hoping for.

I remember when you bought those books from Abracadabra oh so long ago. How far they have come.
