gyro-1 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Wizard those V2 V3 are really hard to find in 9.8 and your just 5 short so the question that has to be asked is --- Did you leave any for the rest of us to buy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 No. Actually, some of the ones I have are the only graded copies, and there's still no #7 or #13. Those, and the #3 are going to be the hardest to find. I actually found the #3 and paid for it, but never received it. After a month or so PayPal gave me my money back. Some famous rock 'n roll guy opened a comic store online, but it failed, and he has the #3. Never responded to my emails or Facebook messages. So what can I do? Trying to find a raw one worth grading. Here's a pic of the graded #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardseye311 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah, I don't know. I had some of the Dejah Thoris negatives, and sold them right after I got them. Actually made a few bucks. I think the problem with modern books is that they're in demand when they first come out, but once everyone that wants them gets a copy, there's all these other copies lying around. The novelty wears off, and people decide to sell. The market is then flooded with so called "rare" variants, but even if there's only 100 copies, are there 100 people willing to pay? Most of the time no. In a few rare instances a modern book can keep or even increase its value. The Ditko cover for ASM #700 or the Walking Dead for instance, but I'm guessing that bubble could burst at any moment. As for the Dynamite Red Sonja books, the only ones I've ever seen sell for decent money are the earliest RRP covers. Certainly nothing after the Ebas #16 (maybe the Brunner #19 gold foil, but those never come around to make a reference) has gone for more than $50.00 in recent times. The rare instance in which a signature series book pops up might be the only exception. They're just not hard to find, and everyone who wants one has one. Basically it comes down to desirability, supply, and demand (and condition). Look at the Golden Age Dell Tarzan books. They're old, but not too rare, and no one really wants them. Other books from the same time like Detective, Action, All Star, Marvel Mystery, Capt. America, or Planet can go for many thousands of dollars while they barely get hundreds. It's the same with Red Sonja negatives. Too few collectors desire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro-1 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I was thinking of ordering from beachbum the new series in july http://www.comicsalliance.com/2013/04/08/red-sonja-1-cover-art-simone-dynamite/ The price would need to be low though as its not a everyone wants it collectable as your explaining above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I really have no idea why they're doing this. What about the ongoing title? I think they're up to issue #74 now. Are they just going to stop at #75, and start over at #1? I mean who are they fooling? Those covers aren't too bad, but compared to the names they had on the first #1 it's almost an insult. Art Adams, Joe Linsner, Michael Turner, Alex Ross, etc. Couldn't they have at least used Mary Wilshire for a cover? Just out of respect. I understand the whole women doing a woman character thing, but let's face it, they killed the original Red Sonja in issue #34, and it's been downhill ever since. Especially the cover art. So I doubt they can do any more damage to the title. I guess I was hoping to see it go to #100, but who knows now. I do like the Amanda Conner cover though, and Gail Simone is supposed to be great. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardseye311 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Okay, it looks like Dynamite will continue Red Sonja at least to #80 before they start over at #1. #75 has three fan choice covers, and starting with #76 Lucio Parrillo will be doing the covers up to #80. Which to me, is about the smartest thing they've done in a while. He really is one of the greatest artist around today. Here are some of the covers. Enjoy!

wizardseye311 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wizard that's the best dam fantasy art going Not sure if it's ending at #80 or not. If it is, at least they had respect enough to end it with some great covers. The last twenty or so have been pretty lame. The #80 reminds me of Marvel's #10 for some reason. Except that Red Sonja is in control on this one. Yeah, he really does some amazing artwork. So far these are the only covers with no variants. Would have been nice to see some Joe Jusko ones too.

Coyote Calhoon Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi - I've been collecting Red Sonja for a long time now finally joined CGC. It's good to see some other avid collectors. I have a #18 Gold Foil and #30 Negative covers that I think are just as rare as the #0 and #2 RRP covers. I've never seen the #18 Gold online and only saw the #30 once. I'm interested to hear what you have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 First let me wipe the drool off my chin. Some great covers you got there, and you're right, they don't come around at all. Especially graded ones. Kinda like the Brunner #19 gold foil cover. I never see that one either. Almost easier to buy the original art for it (it was for sale a while back) . He called us "avid collectors". More like raving lunatics. Welcome to the fray! If it's even remotely Red Sonja related, feel free to post away! Hey, that rhymes.
