What was the print run on thesE? No idea but I received the set it came in for Christmas one year. They were loosely packed (unbagged and unboarded) in a box. There wasn’t a ton of room for them to move around but enough to bang up the books. Mix that with the handling by warehouse employees, delivery service, and relatives on their way to you and who knows how many high grade copies survived the last 30 years.

Browns81 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I’ve picked up 7-8 issues of the first series from dollar bins and am really enjoying this book. I don’t know how I missed it in the 90s because it is right up my alley — maybe not enough chromium? I have two questions for you faithful readers: do we ever actually get shown Darkhawk’s face? Is the curse of Darkhawk ever explained in book? The issues I’ve found are all before the 30s so these may be addressed later. whetteon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron C. Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I recently commissioned a piece by Bill Morrison. It is a cover recreation of his 2005 Bongo Comics Gimme, Gimme Giveaway for FCBD. This one had a few little changes to the books that each character grabbed from Comic Book Guy..... Millhouse obviously knew which books he wanted the most!

Is the curse of Darkhawk ever explained in book? The issues I’ve found are all before the 30s so these may be addressed later. As I mentioned earlier, I dropped off around issue #19 when the quality of the comic and storytelling was abysmal. Many mysteries brought up early in the serious was just plain dropped. Not sure it they forgot or what. Here’s something I found on the web. “Dark hawk Issues #4 and #5 also saw Chris removing his helmet while wearing the armor and becoming horrified by what he saw in the mirror -- to the point of destroying his entire room. Upon questioning the vagrant St. Johnny, who supposedly knew other wearers of the Raptor Armor, Chris learns that "under the mask is the face we all deserve.” So, um, yeah. Again, not sure if the detail was forgotten or intentional never addressed. As for the curse….It’s right up there with how being strike down makes a Jedi more powerful than I could possibly imagine.

I claim $2k but honestly I'm not sure. $2K seems like a lot. But with a bit of luck in the right venue, not impossible. I'd think in the $1200-$1500 range. Its at least semi-sought after, but I can't imagine anyone would buy with an eye towards one day selling it for more, which depresses the price a bit. whetteon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
