wardevil0 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ben Dunn's interpretation of Toots for an early episode of Twilight X in Mangazine (Vol 2)! This white cover is pretty tough to find clean in high grade. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardevil0 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Another batch of AP goodness met with CGC goodness! The gold-embossed Small-Bodied NHS 1 deluxe is notorious for having the gold flake off. They're also individually serial numbered on the cover, but CGC has been inconsistent with noting that on the label. This one is #123, which I think is fun.

I always enjoyed the way Ted integrated such detailed vehicles into his artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. it was mistake in the print file. Back in the 1990's it was often difficult to access the file size and mistakes did happen. wardevil0 and Legion HQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardevil0 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 A little love to AP's super sentai team, who first appeared in Ninja High School 7 (Sep 88). Maybe the first original US sentai team, this was a few years before the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is thought to have brought the idea to the US.

wardevil0 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 This issue has the first published appearance of Gold Digger, the long-running series (approaching 300 issues!) about a super-scientist archaeologist and her were-cheetah adopted sister. This was a couple of years before Tomb Raider made the scantily-clad archaeologist a mainstream genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a Sailor Moon comic, it's a news/reviews magazine in comic book size (since about issue 14). It might be neat to have an early US appearance, but it's not much different from collecting Wizard or Comic Shop News, as far as I can tell, except you can trick people who will never open it into thinking it's a comic. I have almost all of this Mangazine run, and it's a great resource for news and opinions from the time period, especially the retrospective articles by Shon Howell about his time with General Products USA. The hype building around the Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z issues is just from speculators who raided dollar bins and launched a "pump and dump" campaign. Now, the Leeanna and Dog Supreme short story in issue 28 is something worth looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
