Popular Post littledoom Posted August 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2022 Today’s lone flea market dollar book. It was the only comic at a particular booth. It was freely sitting on top of a pile of photographs, stamps, newspapers, etc. The couple was happy I bought their random obscure oddball comic Beastfeast, godzilla43, manetteska and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'm still going to call this thread, as I consider it the antique garage sale thread, similar to the one in comics general. At $5 a piece it'll do Raze and divad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raze Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I went to a new LCS for its grand opening last Saturday and they had 20+ $2 boxes and 10+ $5 boxes. Plus they were doing 20% off… I found these in the $2 boxes! Ive been wanting a few of these story lines but didnt want to pay for them on ebay… ADAMANTIUM and littledoom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Let me know what you think of the iron man cause I believe it is the variant to the second appearance of RiRi, but I'm no good with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynemel Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 @ADAMANTIUM correct, 2nd appearance of RiRi, that is Invincible Iron Man #10. Raney variant cover. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raney variant cover. Thanks! A friend had me look up league of comic geeks app, luckily didn't have to download to get the info I realize my pic with the lighting covers up issue number too I now have two #10's regular cover 1st print and this one. I'll probably just put it in a box until some year the 2nd app is on a label, I seem to have a lot of 2nd's like that. Thanks Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant-Man Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Really enjoy adding promos/giveaways that I’ve never seen. X-Men: Life Lessons fits that description. ADAMANTIUM and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Men: Life Lessons fits that description. I'm always happy to see that one. That's the Starbright Foundation give-away book, and while I wouldn't consider it extremely elusive, it definitely doesn't show up in the secondary markets as often as some of the other "health" promos do. Likely because this was intended as a promo for kids with life-changing injuries (the story is a young X-Men recruit who suffers disfiguring facial burns), it probably didn't have the print run of similar books with a wider target audience. There are actually two versions of this one, also. Starbright had a Spanish-language variant produced for non-English speaking kids. As an added bit of info, if that cover art style looks familiar to some folks, that's because all the art for this promo was done by John Paul Leon, better known for interior pencils on Earth X and the first 9 or so issues of Static (and a ton of other stuff at both DC and Marvel). Sadly, Leon passed away from cancer last year at age 49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I guess I could have said 2nd full appearance, but I thought it went without saying Lol no worries Spoiler It's also why more than likely cgc will never add 2nd appearance to the label of #10? I assume that it affects it if the 1st app is a cameo? I'd love to hear otherwise realized they did it with wolverine and probably some other less obvious characters Edited September 1, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
