The Absolute Hardest to Find 80's books. 9 9

[KolmarAvenue]

Found this little book today at a small con in Milwaukee today.

 

 

That is amazing

 

And I might add, quite unusual for an underground/indie publication to have a preview with those remarks on the cover regarding print runs and collectability attributions. While I recall the late 80s as being over saturated with S+N editions. I dont recall seing too many previews with those remarks. Whats the size of this book?

 

It's about the size of a paperback novel, obviously not nearly as thick though.

Was this one of the epguides shows?

Yep, the Clarion Hotel show by the Milwaukee airport. There were maybe 7 dealers in a small ballroom but tons of attendees for the size of the room. Nice selection for the size.

Same dealers at the Milwaukee Mighty Con or some new ones?

 

Pick up anything else of note?

 

Haven't been to a con in a while (for me); getting antsy for 2/13.

I am a huge Norm Breyfogle fan. So today was a good day as this arrived from ebay...

 

A few pages-

 

The seller has sold a few copies this year. It has been mentioned a few times online and in Norm's bio--

I think you can see a bit of a Neal Adams influence here that disappears by the time he gets to Whisper and starts solidifying his own style.

I've got a copy of this, problem is finding a bag to fit it. Magazine size is too short. So is this the first appearance of Tank Girl? I just had this laying around in one of my oddball piles, because the size of it makes it hard to store.

[Aweandlorder]

Yup, 1st appearance. There was a poster/ad of Tank Girl in Atomtan Magazine, but the first story of tank girl is Deadline #1

Thanks for the info, mine's even more beat up than the one in your picture, but still a neat item to have.

I yanked the pic off a sold listing from eBay it closed at 66.00.. Mind you this auction closed in midweek early afternoon with zero hype on that book. So I doubt any serious fans were watching it. I can only imagine what a BINwould fetch for this book when Tank Girl gets front/center attention again. Even for a beat up copy

THAT is impressive! I've only ever happened across one listing on Ebay for these last year, and I think that fellow wanted $500-$800 for his set.

[Aweandlorder]

Yes I was super stoked when I got these 2 I was after them for awhillllle! I did pay handsomely for them though, but, thats just part of the hobby!

[Bronty]

well done. Never even heard of that before!

Is that the "birthday" issue? That's gotta be a tough one.
