ORIGINS Retold! 0

[Robot Man]

Way back when I was a young budding collector, I realized that I would probably never have many of the "big" books and read the origins of my favorite characters. As time went on and I became a little more experienced, I realized that many of the big guys had had their origins retold or expanded upon. I then started picking up those books (now known as "keys"). Saved a lot of money and when I get tired of these, will make a LOT of money.

Show your origin retold books or books with a little different take on the original origin. Since, I will be breaking the GA rule myself and this is my thread, I will allow books even into the SA only if they are origins of original GA characters. Please don't bore us all with the original origins as we have probably seen them so many times already...

Let's start it off with the two biggest guys, shall we?

Thanks for posting Marty. Yeah, Spirit 18 does have his origin retold. Not noted in Overstreet even though I’ve told Bob several times. I discovered it years ago when I got a copy of the book. 

I can’t read the label, but does CGC note it?

They do not note it...I asked them about it and they had no real answer why that I can remember.

That’s probably because Mr Overstreet just doesn’t think it is worth mentioning...
