RockMyAmadeus Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I will be looking for a Comico Primer #2 at SDCC. A 9.8? Or just a generic copy? I could certainly bring any or all.... Looking for a 9.8 ish probably raw,because along with the Showcase 22 I would be tapped with a 9.8 slabbed. So, you want a 9.8 quality book, but don't want to pay the 9.8 quality price...? I see. No! I want a 9.6/9.8 raw and pay 100 dollars or so,instead of paying 500 for a graded one. Ohhhhh....I see. You want a book that could go either 9.8 or 9.6, but don't want to pay either the 9.8 or 9.6 price, both of which are substantially higher than $100.... I see. Good luck! I did say "or so" regardless would rather pay raw price than slabbed,because 2500 dollars is going to a Showcase 22,and I only have enough for a raw book.(meant in a good way) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdoginohio Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 What makes these books so special? Has someone addressed this yet? 2 has been a big book for years (1st grendel). 5 went bananas for 5 minutes when the Maxx cartoon aired. It is a Maxx prototype, so it has always been on Kieth fans' radar. 6 has the 1st appearance of Evangeline. There are more 1s than you can shake a stick at. High grade copies are not that tough, but you would be surprised how many are ink rubbed. Don't think I've ever seen a 3 in the wild, and the last 4 I saw was super wide, like the size of an underground. It is an interesting little copper series. Who's Grendel?

RockMyAmadeus Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thought this was worth posting here... Anybody else have a set....? Both books have found new homes, at fairly aggressive prices. I'll be very sad to see the Primer #5 go, but really, at that price, how could I say no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Restoration Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I was doing a search on Primer looking for an old post of mine and didn't realize there was a thread dedicated to primer so I thought I would post this #2. I think it was cool that I saved this book from not being desired using a standard pressing technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I looked at a Primer 4 this weekend and it was wider than a normal modern comic. Can anyone confirm that they are all oversized? I still want someone to address this, please? I haven't forgotten you, Ginjy....as soon as I run across a copy, I'll post.... #1 is slightly wider than the rest, #2-#5 are all the same size, and #6 is smaller than all (regular comic size.)

Thanks for checking, bud. I cannot explain the #4 that I witnessed, it was like a housebound 900 pound Samoan compared to the other books in the bin.

RockMyAmadeus Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 #2-5 are about 1/4" taller, and 1/4" narrower, than a Golden Age DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furystorm Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just bumping this thread in the hopes of tracking down a Primer 2 in 9.8 with white pages. Running all over the boards pestering people along the way. Not going to join the club, but do want a 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmakt Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 RMA has a stack of those, doesn't he? Love this book... I got my #2 (along with Grendel 1-3) signed by Wagner at HeroesCon a few years ago. Not SS, mind you, just signed... and they're extra worthless now b/c I asked him to write "To Jim" on them. Good luck with the hunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
