It's one of those books that can be hard on a collector's wallet. Dark Knight and Microchip 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Point Five Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 Pleased to finally have a copy of this. I posted to this thread in 2019 that I'd been looking for awhile with no luck... now finally acquired one in 2023. (Sheesh, that's a tough book!)

Popular Post BITVARGEN Posted July 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2023 I finally got a copy of this issue via Heritage, been wanting one for years. Not cheap, but very well worth it to me. Where'd Dr Balls get that halloween card and is he selling?

I'd call it five years, but point taken. This was an interesting example of a book that was waaaay under the radar for ages, then had some huge jumps in price (and hype). That's usually enough to smoke out a bunch more copies in a hurry, but that didn't appear to happen. I've seen the occasional copy for sale but not too many. jimbo_7071, Readcomix, electricprune and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 16 on census, compared to ~70 graded copies each of #11-first Ghost Rider, and #17-Frazetta cover. Not sure if the pring runs on this title went down over time but #30 seems to be genuinely tough to find in any shape at all. Yes! I meant to add that. (I was holding out for better-than-VG early on... at this point I'm happy to have one in any grade.) As I said elsewhere in this thread, the Zodiac connection isn't even what does it for me although it's 'interesting' for sure... I just love the cover. Great racy GGA cover, and super atypical for a western with the gal in charge and the male hero powerless... a bit like some of Baker's romance covers in that unusual flipping of gender roles. Cool dark color scheme as well. Robot Man, comicnoir, BITVARGEN and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
