Popular Post PossumGrease Posted June 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2022 These were all either $0.95 or 2 for $1.95 at local 2nd & Charles (except $0.50 for Bloodfire and $1.25 for Stray Bullets). Not face melting, but I was pretty pleased. OtherEric, F For Fake, rakehell and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not face melting, but I was pretty pleased. Man, 2nd & Charles has been TERRIBLE the last few months. They even have a binder now of xerox'd comics that are higher-priced. For example, they had a random, filler issue of Excalibur for $14.95. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrwoogieman Posted June 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Some recent pick ups at a local junk shop for $1 each. Here is the censored Dave Dorman cover.

BishopT Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I know I still have like 6 copies of Hellspawn 6 from back in the day. I really hoped they would fully follow up on that whole thing. By the way, Hellspawn was a great little series, one of the runs I made sure to finish when I got back into comics like 10 years ago.

Reveal hidden contents Awesome stuff, these are the kinds of books I love to find. I never see that Carmilla series. There's usually a lot of Aircel stuff out there, but I rarely see this one.

The filler Aircel books are always really common, but the more interesting ones are elusive. The Carmilla series is generally a nice find, especially what looks to be a fairly high-grade copy of #1 with the paper wrapper intact. Also, fun fact about that Penthouse Men's Adventure Comix #1. That series actually runs 7 issues. However, #2-7 are exclusively magazine sized. The first issue exists in both formats; evidently, the comic-sized book didn't sell as well so they dropped the dual format experiment immediately after. I'd consider both versions "infrequently encountered", but some of that is likely just the limited visibility of adult-targeted books on the secondary market. mrwoogieman and F For Fake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I still have my comic-sized Penthouse MAC, I'll have to check. Back when I was working at the comic shop (20 years ago) I'd grab this stuff when I found it, but those supplies have dried up. I don't run into any of the Penthouse stuff very often, either series, either format. Most of them are easy enough to locate online, but in my in-person digging, uncommon for sure. mrwoogieman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuraddoRun Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I found this in a mystery pack of comics at HPB. There were 30 comics and the pack was $10, so that makes this around 33 cents. onlyweaknesskryptonite, Qalyar, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for the love of reading?

I never rip the packs or anything like that (I hate it when folks to that!). But you can, of course, always see at least the 2 cover books they display, and the spines of the others. I'll search the spines and sometimes see something that looks like it could be good. The thick spines, like annuals and such, of course you can see clearly on the sides when there's text there. The pack that had the above comic had a Cloak and Dagger on one side, and I wanted that for my personal collection (I like the early C&D stuff). There were some other Marvel books from the 80s and 90s I could see from the side. Not enough to tell what they were, but enough where I could date the books by the corner boxes. So I figured it was a pack worth gambling on for that, and that I'd at least get some stuff from an era I enjoy books from. I had no idea One-Punch Man was in there, but I was pumped when I opened the pack and found it in there! So call it a somewhat educated gamble, though the book above was completely unexpected.

ADAMANTIUM Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Found these today for $11 total. The Marc Spector moon knight had a following for a while. The Deadpool's may be second best. The other is just speculation but the Spider-Men 2 variant sells for some coin evidently. The xforce is a first app as well littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
