Next wave in Comic Legends R.E.E.P.E.R. Men Set to Release Sizzling First Issue.

 

"Who Are The R.E.E.P.E.R. Men"

 

Never mind ‘naughty or nice’; this year you’d better hope that you’re on the SAFE list. Set in the year 2050 , this comic weaves a creatively dark new story line centered around the overpopulation of the earth. Every comic book lover on the planet craves new villains and new heroes. This 32 page book delivers.

 

 

In iconic style with bold colours and a twisting dark plot you meet Dr. Konnick Stiffe (former CIA Phantom hitman. At its core the R.E.E.P.E.R. (Remove Every Evil Person Entity Reserve) Men is a mystery group of revolutionaries who follow Malthusian doctrine of 1798 to control overpopulation and depletion of vital, natural resources. Their plan is to place every individual unknowingly under 2 lists- “safe list” and “expunge list”. The ultimate goal is to remove every evil person.

Where did u find the Avengers book?

 

Here were my pickups after I sold my books

 

[manetteska]

The bottom picture + the Death TPB and Jimmy Olsen #135 were at the booth around the corner from you. He had ~10 long boxes of mixed silver, bronze, and copper, but nothing was in order and many had condition issues.

 

What I picked up is basically mid-grade, except the Wolverine is roughly NM/-.

 

Another guy had an Avengers 196 that looked high grade; he had $50 on it.

 

Where did you find that Wonder Woman? I don't normally look for her stuff but some of those stories/covers are great.
