That's a hard issue to find in high grade due to cover being printed on a thick card stock. wardevil0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a hard issue to find in high grade due to cover being printed on a thick card stock. I've had a hard time finding most of them in top condition; probably too many years in underappreciated bins. I've been buying lots and picking out the best condition copies I can. It's so satisfying when you bring in a one-of-a-kind highest graded. Unfortunately, they're so niche that CGC mislabels them. All the #1s now have the text "includes poster" despite that being in only a tiny fraction. Hopefully threads like this one can raise some awareness/interest!

That issue 4 is notorious to find in high grade due to the black cover and the cheap paper. 1980’s printing was a spoon shot back then. I also see u have subscribers copy of issue 70. Only about 20 of those exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Found a copy of Extremely Silly #1 going thru some papers. The cover is pretty dirty so I'd call it a VG. I was surprised that it seems to go for about $50 in that shape. wardevil0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unusual size and relative obscurity has basically eliminated the chance of a NM copy. I've seen very few copies that didn't display some degree of crunch along the top because of the height. The census shows only one 9.6, four 9.4s, and one 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardevil0 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 One of my most unusual Antarctic Press editions: Anatomical Acupuncture! A medical text published for Ben and Joe Dunn's father, epitomizing his efforts to familiarize traditional medicinal acupuncture to Americans.

They notorious because of the height of getting easily damaged. The story was that back then there was printer in San Antonio that was not used to doing comics and when AP approached them this was what they could do. It is not even saddle stitched but glued.

APDallas Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Strangers in Paradise 1 sold very poorly for AP when it came out. They had to beg Diamond to up the orders. Plus that notorious black cover! Edited September 17, 2022 by APDallas wardevil0, oldmilwaukee6er and Legion HQ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
