People never let facts get in the way of hyping a book for sale. It may have come out first but SW 8 is the 1st appearance of the black suit. Spidey went looking for a machine to replace his clothes and he got more then he was bargaining for. I'll always consider SR 8 the first appearance of the black suit regardless of the time table of when the books came out. waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize this is a weird situation where there was a couple comics published prior to the suit being even introduced (I remember being confused when it came out and really wanting to know what was up with the black suit). I know I don't have a very stable position to stand on since it is the 1st appearance in terms of time of publishing date but I kind of consider ASM 252 and MTU 141 as premature jumpers in line and SW 8 gets its due from me. Plus I like the cover better Edited July 29, 2020 by 1Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Sonic used to be a tremendous seller for me years go. I haven't sold any in at least 3 or 4 years now. Do the lower print issues still sell well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sellers were taking that insert out and sending it to CGC trying to get it past them I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us like to just leave extra copies of stuff like that for others to find once we have our copies. The cutoff on that would vary depending on how in demand the book is, of course.

Will96 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thrift/Antique store had a comic section with a buy more save more kind of deal.... Ended picking up a bunch of comics for less than a dollar each.... This is a few of them. Daredevil and Captain America were mainly because of the cover artwork. Spider-Woman I'll definitely read at some point. These seem to be something that ran along side a TV show or DVD series which ended around #7 I think. Artwork inside is kind of meh.... The Harleys I thought were cool.... I always like this Harley as opposed to the Suicide Squad movie version though it's hard to argue the sex appeal of the newer version....

Will96 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 More less that a dollar additions.... The top row are all first print. Aliens on the left, bottom is first print newstand. Not sure what the Aliens 3 are.... newstand, direct.... No barcode OtherEric and fastballspecial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking direct with no upc, but wasn't sure...Yes, I was pretty surprised to find the 1988 series sitting in there.... The #2s are in great condition but the #3 has a bit of a crease...
