Popular Post Readcomix Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 You should really have to pay more for a Frazetta baby-scalping, but it's still cheap. Tri-Color Brian, Robot Man, Flex Mentallo and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post october Posted February 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 Here's an early, possibly tied for earliest since it came out in 1950, graphic novel. Unlike It Rhymes With Lust or Case of the Winking Buddah, this thing is cheap. $50-100 for a piece of comic history. It's front to back full color comic format inside. adamstrange, Larryw7, Readcomix and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of books that I paid under $100 for, but I have very few that are worth less than a significant multiple of that.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is one of the most fun threads I have seen in quite a while. So many fun books out there in all genres that can be bought and enjoyed without much thought to cost. I can still go to a show, buy a couple bigger books then hit the boxes and pull out 3 or 4 books for a $100. to just go home and enjoy. Brings back the essence and fun of collecting!

I think people get stressed when they see these huge hammer prices on Heritage, especially when the books in question were relatively affordable only a short time ago. I know I find it somewhat dispiriting. Still lots of modestly priced awesomeness out there though, especially in the "flyover" genres like funny animal, western, etc. I've paid a lot more attention to foreign, especially non-English, comics lately. Glad people are enjoying the thread. I know I've added a book or two to the wantlist already.

Chief1332 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Love this thread as most of my books are cheap, or at least inexpensive. If I had returned earlier, maybe some of my favorites could be higher grades. MS #8 was the first purchase upon my return.

This is a deslabbed 3.0 with some back cover moisture issues, but it presents pretty well. I've also owned a raw 2.5/3.0 that I sold when I got this one. Never seen any other copies, and I've been working on the run for 3-4 years now. Larryw7 and october 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
