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

[RockMyAmadeus]

How about these? I really have no clue, I'm just throwing them out there. Feel free to shoot me down if they aren't really hard to find.

 

I bought these three books directly from Tim Vigil and David Quinn at the 1988 Chicago Comicon where they had a very small table selling their new books, Faust, Omega, and Northstar. The Faust and Omega show up from time to time, but I don't recall seeing the Northstar book much, if at all.

 

 

Oddly enough, despite having multiple copies of both Omega and Faust, signed AND unsigned, I have yet to procur a copy of Northstar #1.

 

I guess I just don't want to shell out the $25 that people want for them.

 

 

And here's my contribution to the 1984 Charltons:

 

 

Wow.

[RockMyAmadeus]

That Faust is the limited edition, which is the 1st real appearance of the character before the regular issues were released.

 

I think there are only 500 copies of that issue.

I thought it was 1000?

Where is RMA when you actually need him?

 

There are 1,000 S&N Omegas and Fausts, and a number of unsigned. Tim Vigil told me at WWLA what they were in 2008, and I think they're 1,000 as well, but I'll ask him again at SD.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Here are the 85-86 Charltons I could get my hands on. I have about 1/3 of a short box of them somewhere but . . .

 

 

 

 

Check out the delightful staple placement on this one . . .

 

 

OMG OMG!!!! THOSE ARE THE RAREST BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED!!!! HOW DID YOU FIND THEM?

I forgot about Northstar #1. That is a hard comic to find.

Damn,are they really htf? When I moved last year there were some copies of Omega, and Northstar that went to the recycling plant. Two long boxes of "junky indy books".

I found some Thundercats in a quarter box yesterday so it all works out. Kinda.

Just doing your part to keep the books scarce

So, are most of the HTF books Indies? Are there any mainstreamers?

I hope that's a joke.

I have, in 20 years, never managed to own one, though if I just wanted to throw money at one, I could. Too many people want too much money for them. Someday.

Wait wait wait. I thought your whole theory behind this stuff was "omg this stuff is so rare and so cheap right now, the golden age of buying" he says So these are going to come down?

 

(yes i like giving you a hard time)

I don't think Jason is kidding.

[buttock]

What about the 1980 Elflord series. Wasn't that print run only 1-200?

[Shark]

Anybody know anything about this one? I believe it's from the 1980's but I don't have it in hand. It's at the storage unit right now.

 

[oakman29]

Storage unit?

You confuse the .0000001% that's actually RARE with the 99.999999% of stuff that's not.

 

You also confuse conditional rarity with absolute rarity.

 

This particular thread is about the .0000001% and the absolutely rare.

 

Obviously, casual comments like the one quoted above are not meant to be doctrinal statements, capice?
