Scrooge Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 That's going to need some defining of one-shot ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Just a single issue. Either a #1 only or something like 'An Earth Man on Venus' where it was just a single, stand-alone book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The thing is at times Avon (who is the main culprit on these one-shots) ran a series with what I would call one-shots. Does that count? That is, look at the Famous Gangsters series. # 1 does not look like a one-shot but # 2 (Dillinger) and 3 (Lucky Luciano) do ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'll check that out. But I bought a Meteor Comics #1 last night and I think that was the only issue in the series. I was just curious how many orphans like that were rummaging around the GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR.X Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys, cool books. I always see a copy or two of the Earthman on Venus book at Chicago. I'd like to get one some day when I finish off a few other runs. I love that big ant on the cover. I was looking at these on Metro's site and they have a title called Captain Savage in the Avon books. I dont see that one on the list either.
