Popular Post Badlands Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 I know that the term "holy grail" means something different to everyone. Back when I started re-collecting comics my grail was X-Men #1. Then it became Hulk #1, then AF #15 and so on. Now I think I'm starting to redefine what grail means, at least to me. My definition of the term is now something like "a book I REALLY want but will more then likely never be lucky enough to own". My "grail" is below. What's yours? badback83, oakman29, Mmehdy and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post piper Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 Once you have it, it's no longer a Holy Grail! For me its Marvel Comics 1. BoogieWoogie, Badlands, Comics4All and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupont2005 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 That Thorne book by Jeff Smith. I’d really only shell out big bucks for something super low print run and not reprinted anywhere else. Toz and Badlands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is only midgrade, but happy to have it. It's a pretty cool read if you are a Bone fan. I think it was (at least partially) reprinted in the Before Bone book, but that's not helpful since it has a smaller print run than Tales from the Lantern! https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=44635522 bb8, Funnybooks, Mmehdy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairless Wookiee Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Detective Comics 27 would be my "if I won the lottery, I'd get it" grail. GSX 1 is my lesser grail that is quickly becoming unobtainable. Badlands and BoogieWoogie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I've been lucky and had some amazing comics in my hands over the years. But Action 1 with a cover still attached is my grail book. You never know, I've come across some crazy stuff over the years. (fingers crossed) oakman29, Badlands and BoogieWoogie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
