I remember having to pay around 4 to 5 dollars each for copies of 1-10 around 1989-90. That was a lot of money for a 11 year old. There was even a point when #39 was going for around 10 dollars in that same era. Now though I could easily pull anything but #1 from the dollar box in my LCS in nm condition. This title has suffered the same fate price-wise as many late copper era issues with great stories and art, but really high print runs( like Liefield NM's, McFarlane ASM's, and Jim Lee PWJ's). Back then I remember the art as being a primary reason why a certain title was hot or not. This was before the market was saturated with Image product and imitators though. When PWJ 6 and 7 and the #39 came out, a Jim Lee Wolverine story was still a special thing. With art not being nearly as important now and those high print runs, you get what we have now.

Yup I'll add to that Dave Stevens with Rocketeer.. I was touching up on that a little on the modern section. When a Rocketeer book came out it was a HUGE deal, same as it was with back then Art Adams announced for a book or annual.. The fans were there for the art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty sweet! Seems I don't give Arthur Adams enough credit... But then again ever since his con visit to Dallas, seems I get the Adams and the kuberts mixed up...
