originalisbest Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Funny how it works out. It was getting #12 that made me want to try for the rest of the run; I didn't turn up the #6 until a few years later. Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Back when I started. There was no way to know what they looked like until you ran into them and knew you didn’t have them. I bought a few, found out how cool they were and just bought every one I didn’t have. originalisbest, Jayman and Black Bat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, what guide? Woe to the early buyer who happened upon #5 issues that were really #1's, and searched in vain for numbers 1 through 4!

The innocence was fun though. You'd browse at a used book store, maybe a comic shop, get a paper catalog in the mail, or read the ads in a comic "newspaper", and go by titles. And we're talking single digit money for each book. Robot Man and originalisbest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, never mind all those Ziff Davis ones that started with #10... Edited March 28, 2019 by Robot Man originalisbest and goldust40 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These three look particularly nice side by side. And I'm not sure a kidney alone would cover it...
