Obscure Marvel Titles...

[CKB]

One that jumped out at me (again from this same collection I acquired) is the Camp Candy comic - that's one that I'd never known about:

 

 

Never seen one. Wow.

Son of Satan.

[Darth Corgi]

Brute Force

That's the same thought that popped into my head when I saw this (another book from that same collection):

If we move out of Bronze, Pirates of Dark Water, Suburban Ninja She-Devils, Pinocchio & the Emperor of Night, James Bond Jr. (may have been Star), Toxic Avengers, Kid N' Play, Double Dragon, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Zorro.

A few of the STAR titles can be tough. I went after the CPV's and have a good chunk of them, but this one may be one that slipped through. Not 100% sure though as I have the newsstand copy which lists a Can and US price with the barcode, but no UK price. That is a bit off the path of the way the mult-price books were sold at the time so this may have been just at the point where Marvel cut off making CPV's:

James Bond Jr. (may have been Star)

 

Would it show in the indicia rather than branded as STAR above the marquee?

Meet Misty (the one I got is issue 5 with the CPV 95 cent price)

Sweet!

 

I'm starting to wonder if a few issues slipped through my quest to complete my STAR CPV run. After seeing the 95 cent copy of issue 5, I'm certain a Meet Misty #1 with the 95 cent price exists. Still not sure about the Hugga Bunch though

it's a trick question. There's no such thing as an obscure marvel title.

It's all relative to demographic and collecting interests. I can tell you though that if we were speaking strictly about how often these types of books are "seen", and factoring in the 20+ years of buying collections, a few I've only ever seen once.

I've only come across the Pinocchio book once. And there is some "street poet ray" Marvel book that I have never seen except here on the Boards.

 

Also, Mort the Dead Teenager.

[Ant-Man]

Madballs.

[comicwiz]

I think I remember seeing this one in the collection I just bought

Madballs.

 

That's a good one. It was under the Star imprint, though.
