GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Are one of the spec sites pumping Coyote? I've had a copy of 12 listed for some time and now have a bid on it. It looks like quite a few have sold within the last few days (and there aren't many available for sale). 11 is the first McFarlane interior art, and 13 is the first cover, so it wouldn't appear to be particularly important. Just read on Key Collector that it's the "First published art by Todd McFarlane, chronologically" ("Coyote #11 was published first and had a story that was redrawn by Todd McFarlane after he had finished his work on Coyote #12"). Is that new info? And if so, do people care? Link to post Share on other sites

It's not "new info" as back in 2019 people were sending it in for the mcfarlane cgc inhouse signing I saw a show coyote on the tv the other day didn't know it was related to the comic So "new info" in this instance is relative 😂  GeeksAreMyPeeps 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I assume that's driving the sudden demand. tvindy, oldmilwaukee6er and GeeksAreMyPeeps 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If they were that plentiful back then, then maybe 1500 copies were easily obtained, doesnt have to be one owner, but the years later thing still holds true. Probably a dealer or merchant who had a bunch so got ahold of Todd Dr. Dank 1 Link to post Share on other sites
