Bo_Hogg1 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I am proud that I have in my hands 3 of my non golden age holy grails. I only collect rare comics so these are extremely rare. The other 2 I want are Pow Biff Pops and Supergear comics. This is Miracle on Broadway and while it had a 1150 print run, because of how they were distributed, it is probably only in the double digits that exist now.

Bo_Hogg1 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 This is Wings 67 which was part of the print run of comics used in the movie Empire of the Sun. Unlike most prop comics, this is a real comic with added features. This is substantially rare. porcupine48 and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Hogg1 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 And last this is the infamous Superman 409 comic that was only produced to secure the Superhombre trademark so it is essentially an ashcan. There were only 100 produced but only 10 became available to the public ComicConnoisseur, comicjack and porcupine48 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It's odd that I've only heard this done with superman, but wasn't there another superman comic that was done for a birthday? Anyway cool books! My dad recently did the trademark thing and had to prove his items were sold across state lines... If they only sold 10 to the public, where were they sold?

jaybuck43 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 On 11/26/2017 at 8:41 PM, Lazyboy said: Where did you get these numbers? For the Broadway Comics, Jim Shooter stated as such. "Miracle on Broadway is a rare one-shot comic used as a Christmas card for Broadway's clients. Only 1150 of these child-oriented comics were produced. This comic contains the first appearance of the Knights on Broadway and an early appearance of Star Seed. It also contains the first and only appearance of Spire while more adult-oriented characters like Fatale were excluded." https://www.shooterswork.com/broadway/miracle.htm For Wings 67, I'm not sure how to classify it. DC produced it, it wasn't done by a prop studio. Basically Fake cover art, 4 pages of fake art for the story stuck into Superman #432. Give that DC ran it in 1987, I'd be shocked if the print run on it was less than 500. Also, I know several copies were given away by DC editors after shooting was finished and additional copies were not needed. I know nothing about Superhombre.
