It's definitely not common. Big Shot Comics was a tiny indie press that put out a few overlooked (and largely with reason) books. Their "best" known title is probably Gideon Hawk, which no one has ever heard of, but which went to 3 issues. I think Bad Blood may have gone to two or three issues, too, but I've never seen them.

The only thing Big Shot ever did that might be of wider interest was a one-shot called Shark, a trite, cliched piece of anti-drug propaganda produced in partnership with the Muskegon Chronicle (which tells you the level this publisher was working at). However, it's either a very early, or potentially the first, published comic work by industry veteran Scott Rosema, so there's that. Plus the 80s anti-drug stuff always attracts niche interest.

I don't know of any reason to be interested in this book, except that dollar bin indie dreck is its own sort of fun!

No snark intended when I say- that's kind of fascinating. In the sense that, your boss finding some random comic and having some vague sense of comics being valuable and having you research it- I know it still happens, but didn't think it'd happen as much in 2021. It's obvious it's a self published b&w indie a couple years after the b&w explosion of 1986.
