skypinkblu Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I definitely think we need more women here... I don't read copper threads that often, but I'm amazed... Guys definitely GOSSIP more than women...first off, he can read all these threads, so it's not exactly talking behind his back, but he CANNOT answer... I've probably been aware of RMA longer than most of you. He had different names before...never been much different. He argues, things get hotter and less hot...but although I can understand people who are annoyed by him, writing, I can't understand people who like him going back and forth, because you know this must be torture, it's almost bordering on mean...and although RMA uses that term, it's not one I'd normally use here... So, as a suggestion... Let's talk about shoes;) Or Football... OR Comic books, . Save the RMA threads for when he returns...maybe by that time you will all cool down and realize shoes are an important subject;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschmidt Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 To return to the topic at hand ... does anyone know whether the Darker Image ashcan predates Darker Image #1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comix4fun Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 To return to the topic at hand ... does anyone know whether the Darker Image ashcan predates Darker Image #1? What's odd about Image at that time is that, jumping on the ashcan bandwagon, they had a tendency to release ashcans as dealer promos AFTER the issues hit the stands. I have a box of promotional material in storage and this was right in the wheelhouse of when I had my Diamond account and I remember getting ashcans after the fact. It was strange.

AGGIEZ Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'd REALLY like to see some production numbers on the Regular Edition Gold Variant Black & White Variant Ashcan Why is this information always so difficult to track down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certain that the Darker Image Ashcan came out after the actual #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the hell out of it and came up dry. The regular #1 had CapCity orders of 250k+, so the actual print run is bound to be a lot higher than that.

I have seen longboxes full of the regular editions. I wouldn't be surprised if it were double that or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEnglandGothic Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Don't have any scans but when I get back, I will scan sell all of them to T.J. Is this the right place to announce this will be my next focus? So anyway, The Maxx? Anyone? Anyone? I was gonna collect this one, but you Copper guys are too hardcore for this country boy from New Hampster. I'm going back to Moderns and collect my easy to grade IDW books.

whetteon Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 So was it decided that the Gold variant had a lower print run than the Platinum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetteon Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) So the only thing we've determine thus far is that Darker Image #1 is indeed the 1st appearance of The Maxx as said by the creator Sam Keith on his website? That CGC will now label all Dark Image #1 from this point on with the "1st appearance" title on the label. And that the books we know to exsist are: Darker Image #1 Ashcan (different colors or just the red one?) Darker Image #1 Darker Image #1 Gold Darker Image #1 Platinum Oh, and we all have strong opinions about RMA. Am I missing anything 36 pages in?

If it is finally determined that the "Black & White" version is rarer than the "Gold" version than the "Platinum" title works...if not, the Black & White makes more sense.
