NICE! One of his all time great covers, and signed too! Oddly on-topic for this thread, this one really is relatively tough in the wild, compared to the rest of his output.

3-D Zone #16 Space Vixens is "on-topic" for Modern Age books you just can't find in the wild?

It's 32 years old.

You go find a Comics Journal 117 in the wild and report back.

The "can't find in the wild" part is on track. The modern part, not so much, but hey, we're getting closer!

This thread stopped being that a long time ago. However, I admit I did miss the modern part by a good amount of time. Would the "I miss Dave Stevens" thread have been more appropriate? Probably.

Eh, any excuse to post Dave covers is a good one. No harm no foul.

I think this thread is just fine. Its going to continue to evolve. Some of the books I haven't seen in years or haven't even found
copy myself and I do a lot of looking.

As far moderns go, I'm been buying up Batman Beyond #1 newsprint edition copies as often as I can. They seem to be fairly rare especially since there is also a free promo edition and a 6 flags edition that are worth a fraction of the price. With a future movie being a real possibility, prices are starting to soar. 9.8s are going for 400+ and that's without any confirmations yet. 

[fastballspecial]

That's not a bad option. Its past my buying price, but it hasn't sky rocketed yet. Higher grade seems tough on that book and its not that easy to find.

Some decent cheap finds over the last two days. Those Vampirellas are AH covers I've not run across until now, and that Lady Death ashcan is signed by Brian Pulido, Steven Hughes, and Jason Jensen with COA.

Found these in the same $1 box a few weeks back at the Sacramento Comic Con. The Comics Scene issue is the earliest known published image of Harley Quinn.

Interesting, I also saw on ebay, someone posting a "Comics Scene" that showed the first appearance of venom, before ASM 298/299.

Never Heard of Comics Scene. Is it more like Wizard or FOOM?

It's a comic news magazine. Comic Scene #2, in my humble opinion, is one of the most under valued books ever. I realize it sells for decent money but it may someday be equal to or above ASM 300. It's a tough book to find. It pre-dates ASM 298. It has a huge spoiler article about Eddie Brock being Venom and what happens in the whole story arc. It features images of Brock and Venom and also the first published image of the iconic 300 cover drawing. I found one before the market realized what it is and it blew my mind. I'll post some photos later of the insides for those who haven't seen it. It's a must own for any serious Spider-man collector.

Comic Scene was great! It predates Wizard, launched in the 80's. Outside of comic shops, it was just about the only comic news related magazine that you could find on regular newsstand shelves, like at your local grocery or whatever. It was basically just comic book news, articles, etc. They had a section dedicated to the development of comic book movies, which seemed like a total pipe dream when I was a kid, until Batman came out. I would check those pages every month (or whatever the publishing schedule was) hoping to see an update on Terry Gilliam's "Watchmen" movie, or an update on a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle show. Oh, those were days.

Nice books!! The ashcan with Steven Hughes signature is a definite keeper.

Good eye! Back on track in less than a page.

If you follow the Turtle market, nearly every series in between Mirage vol. 1 and IDW are tough to find. Many of them sell very well for way over cover. This Dream Wave series is not very easy to find and still dirt cheap. If the trend continues, they should appreciate nicely. Nice find.
