Popular Post Jasonmorris1000000 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2020 First full appearance of Legion. I've wanted this comic for awhile and then a really cheap copy popped up on eBay. I messaged the seller and he said he just had a kid and needs money now more than mint copper age classic. I hope his youngster knows how much his Dad sacrificed for him. On an unrelated note: did you ever see the Legion TV show? It's great and I highly recommend it. 1950's war comics, Nick H (UK), Morganmi and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Australian, British, from New Zealand, ... ? British. Essentially 'first' Tank Girl, but it is a one-pager / rough design. Reportedly approximately 200 or so copies of this fanzine were created / printed / distributed whilst friends Jamie Hewlett, Alan Martin and Philip Bond were attending art school in 1987.

Am I missing something? excuse the photo / lack of size comparison This is a 'Life Magazine' top loader, MyLite 4, and backing board with a sheet of archive paper behind the front & back covers. Unfortunately, once received by CGC they explained that it was just outside the limitations of a magazine submission. They did press and clean it for me though...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 I wonder how big the demand is for Treasury-sized CGC cases? There’s a bronze-age Treasury appreciation thread that gets a lot of love. There are a number of photos there of NM++ copies that would look super cool graded. Could you imagine the weight of a box of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the byproduct? A new revenue stream for CGC. I'm sure a cost analysis has been performed internally and currently it isn't financially viable.

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 I wonder why I never asked for the Popeye video game as a kid?
