Tivo32 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Finally got these two Modern keys tonight after salivating over them for 20-some and 30-some years respectively.... I have no idea why this is a key (I'm new to comics outside of knowing DC and Marvel) but wow, that is an amazing cover and an awesome book! Congrats!

MrDeafComics Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 There was a guy fighting against me on 7 funny animal books....... I really wanted to get a good head start on my funny animal collection with those books but I could not since I am in school so that limits me. Those were Crowley pedigree books as well. So I decided to grab the BEST cover out of the 7. and hope that the rest of the crowley books will reappear somewhere........ Here is the cover I grabbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion HQ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Finally got these two Modern keys tonight after salivating over them for 20-some and 30-some years respectively.... I have no idea why this is a key (I'm new to comics outside of knowing DC and Marvel) but wow, that is an amazing cover and an awesome book! Congrats! Thanks! Comico was a much beloved indy publisher for us children of the 80s. Primer 2 was THE issue to own from them, and has remained a fan favorite even after 30 years. It was the first appearance of Matt Wagner's Grendel, the character equivalent of, I guess, Wolverine for them. All early Grendel appearances were going for big money back then. But this issue was the crème de la crème. And yes, very cool cover. Black border makes it especially difficult to find without spine tics & creases. Tiny print run as well. All adds up to being a key issue from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a 90's kid, but I can definitely appreciate that book! Congrats on landing a big fish for yourself. Enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jking3437 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 That right there is badass. Big shout out to Scott Blair on this one, real easy to work with. He had it on eBay, I sent a message and was able to work it out for under what he originally wanted for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kaptain Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice! I've always wanted those books, but they are nearly impossible to find in the US. I have never actually seen one in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice! I've always wanted those books, but they are nearly impossible to find in the US. I have never actually seen one in person! This comic shop has another nice copy of #2 with the boomerang. They also have some of the later issues in the 20s and 30s. Send me a PM if you want me to pick something up for you.
