TIA23 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Holy Crullers ( should be around 7 mini comics? ) Somebody have scan(s) (whiteout watermarks) from #2,3,5,7 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I had two full sets - one signed by Troy Hickman and one not. I am not certain where they are are - but what I am certain of is that they are absolutely great stories, and if the art was as good as the stories, they would be worth a king's ransom.

Real Elijah Snow Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I actually think I still have all of mine. Troy even wrote me a couple of hand written letters way back when.. I'll see if I can locate them, but the best I'll be able to do is send some pics. My scanner committed Hari Kari, and I have no reason to buy a new one. Message me if you want some pics.

Real Elijah Snow Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have 1-6 and the Pin-up issue. Adored these books. Writing was top notch, and I kind of dug the art; it fit. Speaking of art..In today's episode of finding out about something that I forgot happened..I actually have a pinup in one of these Drew it almost 25 years ago.

Real Elijah Snow Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yeah, I believe so. I assume you know about "Common Grounds"? TIA23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I felt like they were a little watered down. I only read the first issue or two and I was like "Yeah, I'll just keep the originals."

Qalyar Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 These images are, sadly, not from copies I own, but here you go. Hickman was a good writer even then. The art has a sort of indie appeal, but I agree that it's a barrier for a lot of people used to more polished works. These were mostly sold mail-order, so unlike indie books with local/regional distribution, they were spread pretty widely, so you don't generally run across a bunch at a time. Not that they're easy books to find regardless. In my experience, the Special #1 (Pin-up Issue) is considerably rarer, by which I mean, I've never owned one. If, someday, people start taking seriously the idea of collecting books based on their writers, these will suddenly be of great interest to Hickman fans. They should be anyway.
