The Absolute Hardest to Find 90's books. 7 7

[Legion HQ]

One of my favorite independent series from the 90s was Teri S. Wood's Wandering Star.

 

Little known except to hardcore fans was Teri's first attempt at publishing this series in a mag-sized ashcan. It was actually in the late 80s, but figured more people would appreciate it here.

 

Issue 1 had a print run around 500.

 

Issue 2 had only 20 copies or so. (My note says less than 10 known to exist. Just not sure off-hand where I read that. I think it was Teri herself who mentioned it somewhere.)

How about a 1st print set of From Hell by Alan Moore.

Those insipid "Museum" comics, which were limited to 1-copy per edition.

 

Nothing could be harder to find than a series of comics with only one existing copy each - I win, shut down the thread!!

It is an ashcan. I had 1 graded years ago. I can't remember the specific print run but I know it is less than 500 copies. Give me a day or 2 to find my notes.

So, can we expect to see this in the $3.00 store soon?

[FlyingDonut]

Probably not. The sesame seeds, definitely!

So the full-size version of this is pretty common I take it?

There is only 1 version and it is magazine size. Ashcans are not always mini-comics.
