You got me curious with the Captain Crunch.

First copy I had seen myself back cover is a fold over with a postage card you could send.

First copy I have found. Looks to be auto'd by the artist/writer Gully but who else signed it?
With a Nice Campbell sketch cover.

Never see these books, but these 4 had an added bonus. 
All 4 look NM.

Found this in a 50 cent box

Not the best of shape, but first copy I have found in around 5 years.

Looking to find out if there is an unsigned version of this. Cannot locate it in any online database. Vampirella #12 Jay Company variant (Harris Aug 2002) COA says there's 500 of them. 

Update: Found it at comicbookrealm under the wrong title.

I have looked for this 2nd print for ages and never seen it in any shops I've visited, finally found it, funnily enough it was at the same shop where I got Ant #1 which I also could never find.

Got these at a yard sale. The man selling was given the Shaolin Cowboys (1-7) from the Wachowskis

Having this with the name "Jojo Pohlkamp" has got to command a premium...

Find these once in a blue moon. Not very valuable, but still neat.

I found one too guys. Can I be a part of your club?

Found this one other day. At first thought it was sun fade, but
inside its missing the dark blue color so looks like the printer 
ran out ink when they printed it.

The Magenta and Yellow plates are missing from the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) printing process in that cover. It's a book that should have been tossed in the trash as part of the spoilage, which are test copies printed at the start of the run to get the colors correct. Some of these slip through every now and again, but they are very rare and can be very valuable.

I don't think so; I think that's sun fade. You can see a hint of yellow if you compare Ghost Rider's head to the front wheel (or, in the corner box, compare the flames on the head to the skull).

I looked at it very closely and the blue and black are both very vibrant and don't appear to be sun faded, which is why I believe it's a spoilage copy. It may be a case of the printing press not having the right amount of the Y color which would leave a hint of yellow, but the red is definitely not there at all. I think the yellow is just from the paper, though.

Magenta and yellow tend to be more susceptible to fading than cyan and black.

Its not at least I think its not.  I thought it was too, but the interior pages are missing the color as well on several pages. If not convinced I can post you some interior pics.

All also grab another copy somewhere so I can compare interiors. 

I am not 100% convinced yet, but both arguments make sense here. Let me dig for awhile 
and see what I can find.
