Took me almost a year long search to acquire these two,

  • Copra #1 Self Published by Michel Fiffe 
  • Cursed Pirate Girl #NN Self Published by Jeremy Bastian (ComiXpress)

Probably the hardest to find for me (shrug)

I used to shop at bergen street comics. They had something to do with Copra. At least a dozen 1s on the rack, I passed because they put the price sticker on the back of the cover. I did buy his first book (deathzone or something like that) because the print run was even lower. Sold it here for around $200 with the price sticker on back. Did I sell to you?

Nope not me. Been looking for a Deathzone copy, haven't come across one yet (shrug)

Found this book at the LCS but passed.  Anyone know anything about it?

That's awesome! Congrats! 

Until recently, I didn't know there were more than the wolverine 25 cent newsstand issues. The avengers is a cool find ^^

Today was a good day. One of my local LCS has their annual Halloween sale and had 15 or so sorted $1 boxes and some miscellaneous stuff out for the first time. I saw a bundle with an Invincible 1 on top that said 50 issues from 1-76 missing chunks for $40. Obviously I grabbed that as fast as possible as I’d never found one in the wild and actually never owned any of the early issues. As I was digging through the boxes, I stumbled upon Imvincible 1-104 with some multiples of issues before 20. I couldn’t believe my luck! TWO Invincible 1’s for a steal (not to mention all the other quality isssues). Turned out the bundle had 1-13 in it as well!

You better hope I am never in your area. This type of finds make us all terribly jealous.
While I am jealous of the Invincibles. That Hack and Slash find is great too.

Its one of those books that right now is not envogue and has fallen in value. 
Once its optioned again like every other books speculators will buy it up like mad again.


 

Also difficult in 9.8 due to the thickness of the book, poor paper quality and dark cover
