THE_BEYONDER Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 On 10/1/2022 at 5:57 PM, Qalyar said: The weirdest thing for me about this TPB is that it collects the first 3 issues of a 4-issue miniseries. To be fair, there was a really long delay before President Evil #4 released, and I think there was some question as to whether it was ever going to happen. So I guess, since the series got some press attention, that they'd compile what they had as better than nothing. I haven’t got to reading it yet. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to find a #4 before I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked into this sorta comic shop, sorta junk shop just as the owner was buying a collection. He didn't even look at what was in the boxes - just pointed at them and said, "You can check these out. let me know if you find anything cool." These are what I pulled out. Half were $1 and half were $.50. When he was looking at the books and pricing them, he apologized for having to charge me $5 on a black bagged Superman 75 - which was the most expensive book. Small towns are crazy, man. So this 'dealer' priced these books at $1 For NM #87, Darkhawk #1 etc etc. Was he wearing sunnies and carrying a white stick? Easy $1500 worth of books there. divad, littledoom and Beastfeast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant-Man Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Wasn’t familiar with this series. Not listed in Overstreet, I believe only #7 of 8 is missing. So is the centerfold/poster for #2. No cutouts or writing in puzzles. awakeintheashes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that guy is still in business when I head back around Christmas. I'm still confused by that guys pricing. When he had a flea market booth years ago, it was even more all over the place. It's always nice when you can buy a stack of good comics AND a cast iron skillet at the same place.

Print run wasn't real big for those last few Alf issues because who cares? And then that issue in particular has become a meme collectible for obvious seal-molestation reasons. Not recalled, though. thehumantorch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
