vader2001 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 As I was reading this thread, I started to think of all my pre Valiant super heroes stuff. So I went looking through a few long boxes before I found these. Then of course I ran across some of these. Good ole fashion cheese dip and fray's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgarthwaite-migration Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) As I was reading this thread, I started to think of all my pre Valiant super heroes stuff. So I went looking through a few long boxes before I found these. The ones with the $1.50 cover price are MUCH harder to find. They were reprints of the stories published in the $1.95 comics. They had much lower print runs. I just scanned my two HC collections yesterday. Best of the Nintendo Comics System (Mallard Press Hardcover) Best of the Super Mario Bros (Mallard Press Hardcover) Mine are from Mallard Press. There exist versions that weren't done by Mallard.

Sal Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 What has Killing Joke (raw) settled in at these days? For years it sat in the $5 boxes, but exploded when TDK came out. What is it now? A $20 book? $30? How about Swamp Thing #21? Is that still about a $20 book? Or has it picked up? #37? That should be edging towards $50, no? Aliens #1? DHP #1? #24? What are those these days? Nobody ever took me up on my WTB on the Aliens #1 (graded). Or my Peter Porker (graded) offer. Also, Sal, I've got a copper book to send you. I've been having a hell of a time finding the stupid thing though. Bought it for you well over a year ago. Cool. Alex will be able to read by the time you send it, bruv, if your collection is as tossed-about as mine is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 OT, but I love the avatar. Brock Sampson is the MAN! The 5th season starts in February. I haven't changed my avatar since I signed up, so obviously I agree with the both of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo1969 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 There is definite pent up demand for HG Aliens books (including DHP) and even early Predator. I've been hunting for 9.8 copies for years and it is tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I agree totally. BTW, Bosco's #1 was the sharpest looking copy I have ever seen. Also, if there is ever a pent up demand for 9.0-9.4 copies, I am ready to service that demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicalgems Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I recall that Nintendo Power 1 had a map of Hyrule. But I long ago tossed mine in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 ^ yes that's correct, there is a zelda map included.

This means you fingh I was the first guy in my dorm to get the infinite lives on Super Mario. Silver Surfer and Deadly Towers are the only two games I didn't finish. And maybe Faxanadu.

Bronty Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 from what I've heard Silver Surfer was Satan's punishment for wayward children. You can't be faulted for not completing what I understand is a craptastic and incredibly difficult game. If I remember the reviews correctly the control is awful and you just get killed by random stuff without much of a chance to defend yourself. Great Jusko box art though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Jusko box art though I broke two controllers playing Silver Surfer. Only one playing Techmo Bowl against my buddy that always played the Raiders. That should tell you everything you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanfingh Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Bo knows Tecmo. I played Kansas City. To this day I think JJ Birden ought to be in the Hall of Fame because of how awesome he was on that game. It was still almost impossible to beat Oakland, but I did it every once in a while.

Prince Namor Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ninja Gaiden. Drove me crazy. Broke 3 controllers, and gave up. I remember the ending scene of Ninja Gaiden after you beat it. We thought of that as awesome graphics back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
