Popular Post october Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Bedrock's post in the top 5 thread got me thinking about the comics in my collection that aren't that expensive, all under $1000 maybe, but that are awesome and overlooked. Tired of mega keys and classic covers that are worth the same as a luxury car (not really), so let's see some cheap obscurities! 1. Brutal cover. Look at his face! It's a western though, so basically toxic waste. I keep it separated from my other comics so it won't infect them with its lameness. 2. Rare French Canadian version. Part of my "giant hands" collection. 3. Some great covers in this Australian series. This one is....weird. 4. Giant eyeball space ships? Bethlehem? Under $200? Yes please. It's 12 cents. So what. Fight me. 5. Counterfeit medicine isn't a common theme, and I love the cover design. MDA is so underappreciated.

If your standards are 1970's flea market prices no. Otherwise yes. I mean, you saw me post a Howdy Doody comic, right?

I keep it separated from my other comics so it won't infect them with its lameness. Such an awesome cover. I share your concerns re infectious lameness though. I went looking for this cover after the first time you posted it, and so far the only shot I've had at a copy was if I bought the entire run of Dead-Eye Western as a lot. It seemed dangerous to introduce that many westerns into my collection all at once, so I passed. frozentundraguy and Chief1332 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen many either, though I think I had a second copy awhile back. Despite scarcity, bet it's still under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
