Show us the favourite worthless dreck in your collection 3 3

[MattrixAlien]

We all, generally speaking, like having keys and books with value in our collections. But many of us also have comics taking up space in our boxes which wouldn't look out of place in a bargain bin  They might be comics you enjoyed reading and feel nostalgic about. What are the favourite near worthless books in your collection? Show us their covers.

Here's one of mine. Excalibur had gorgeous art by Alan Davis and Chris Claremont's writing was at it's most fun, focused on the adventures of a team of likeable characters. I loved this series for the 1st 12 issues as a kid. It's been described by more than 1 comic book influencer as a series without keys. (Strictly speaking there are a couple of issues with slight value say $5. But virtually the entire series across all volumes can be found in dollar bins.)  I've collected a few of the 1st appearances of the characters in the team including Lockheed, Rachel, Kitty (this is not cheap), Meghan in US comics etc which occur in other series. May never get Nightcrawler

I got a kick out of the back cover

It's a crack up  

But so typical for the series!

[ADAMANTIUM]

I got a direct raw for the cover, which is but I liked it at the time, I sides just tell of ms marvel getting her nose into business not her own

Got this in a collection a few years back and I am keeping it. A low value Spidey comic that came with a cassette tape of The Ramones singing the theme song from the Spider-Man cartoon I grew up with. Worthless as a flip, priceless to me.

More Newsstands that I got for the nich, but a direct copy as well to read

See if they're worth there salt, some were "interesting"😉🤔

Wow! That's seriously one of the coolest bonus extras ever with a comic. I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for sharing

The wizard due to the mail away...

But like twenty years after the fact...

Just to have a token of it, as the 9.8 slab was one of the first I ever bought. For $15 at a bargain bin slab bin when I was new to collecting back in 2014-15, found it at LCS

It got me interested!!

Bought the first cover as a slab, saw the 3rd print on the stands to read, slabbed it, but found the last cover in the dollar bin, which was the 2nd print so I bought to leave raw an permanent reader

Slight edit, I slabbed the third print from the dollar bins (as condition shows)

because it showed the character I bought it for on the cover!

[ADAMANTIUM]

Classic 😄🤣

Similar to judge dredd but also rumored lady punisher 1st app and as a police officer

My childhood copy.

Centerfold pin up that is the same as the cover... Comic book picture pin up book, just art 

I bought several as a kid, because I didn't even know there were such things as artist or whatever sketchbooks to buy, or I never had enough money, nor parents to take me by a lcs

Bought the slab as a raw to submit...

But had to buy the raws to read, thinking surely the wolverine didn't go through with it and it was just a ploy? Variant cover ploy?

Boy was I wrong and glad the notation is now on the slabs 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Then as an adult I did buy a sketchbook, but I felt it wasn't as many pages, and even more that most of the art wasn't original to the book. Like the ones from when I i was a kid were with wolvie vs sabretooth. Or very few were original

My favorite series when I was a kid was marvel universe.  I started with #5, but eventually got the earlier issues.
