Cherry Comics is the publisher of issues 19-23x, as well as some later prints of earlier issues. The label for the 23x with "Kitchen Sink Press" is an error.

dupont2005 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Looks like you can email Sharon for sketch cards too. I remember buying packs of the Cherry playing cards hoping for a Welz sketch card. No luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Cant you just go print up some of these on a copy machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupont2005 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I think it’s the only Cherry comic I don’t have. Is it reprinted in any of the full sized floppies? ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC won't grade this first black and white issue for that very reason. That is why I send these to IPS for testing.

Howard told me that Dan Fogel put these together on the fly for a couple of cons/conventions. If true, I doubt there are any legit full sized reprints. I also seem to remember being on the phone with Sharon Welz quite a few years ago, and she wasn't even aware of these at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems unlikely - I have 3 copies of the #1 (no, icefires - they are still not for sale; sorry), I'm assuming icefires has a couple, there's no chance him & I account for half of all existing copies. In general, print runs are always larger & more copies remain in circulation than people think.

Also, I have searched relentlessly for these for 10 years now, and I can assure you I have more than 10 copies. mschmidt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who pays big bucks besides me? Also IPS is now part of SGS. Why do you care so much? Are you trying to protect the 10 people in the world that are interested in these? I am a retired fraud investigator. Please don't get the idea that your concerns are a revelation to me. Edited August 29, 2019 by icefires .
