First Comics-Issue List

JohnnyRnR · Post by **JohnnyRnR** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 7:07 pm

Obviously we didn't have enough crap to look for. It doesn't look TOO bad, except that there are quite a few S/N HC's, and 17 million printings of the TMNT trades. Also, there were a few sporadic signed issues listed that didn't give me the impression that they were issued by the company, but Zero Tolerance had signed issues listed for the entire series. Could be a fun one, most of the long running series are actually worth reading, and I've been wanting to check out those Oz books for a while.

From MileHighPrices, we've got:
GN's
American Flagg Hard Times (GN) (apparently in a S/N HC, and a softbound)
American Flagg Southern Comfort (GN) (apparently in regular HC, S/N HC, and softcover)
American Flagg State of the Union (GN/TPB?) (also in HC, S/N, HC, and paperback)
Badger: Hexbreaker (GN)
Beowulf (GN) (also 2nd print)
Demon Knight: A Grimjack Graphic Novel
Elric of Melnibone (GN) (regular, and S/N HC)
Elric: The Sailor on the Seas of Fate (GN) (regular and S/N HC)
Elric: Weird of the White Wolf (GN) (regular and S/N HC)
Enchanted Apples of Oz (GN)
Forgotten Forest of Oz (GN)
Hawkmoon: Jewel in the Skull (GN)
The Ice King of Oz (GN) (also 2nd print)
John Sable Freelance (TPB)
Lone Wolf and Cub (TPB)
Mazinger: Go Nagai (GN)
Next Nexus (TPB)
The Original Nexus (TPB/GN?) (3 printings)
The Secret Island of Oz (GN) (2 printings)
Shatter: The Revolutionary Graphic Novel
Team Yankee (GN)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Books I (11 printings!?!), II(9 printings), III (8 printings), IV(7 printings)
Time Beavers (WTF?) (TPB/GN?)
Time2: The Epiphany
Time2: The Satisfaction of Black Mariah

nice list...gots to get me more o' that stuff...

myron · Post by **myron** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 3:07 pm

the elric and corum books really interest me...I like micheal moorcocks writing and I've read the books those are based upon...

I also want to find the starslayers...pretty sure grimjacks first appearence was in there somewhere...

childres · Post by **childres** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 5:55 pm

It was #10. The stories were good in the Starslayers in the beginning but I felt they got weaker in the later issues. The best issues were#1-6.

I felt, Starslayer always had awesome back up stories. The 1st Rocketeer came out in #2 & #5 had the 2nd appearance of Groo. #10 started Grimjack, & The Black Flame was another back up.

JohnnyRnR · Post by **JohnnyRnR** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 5:58 pm

There's a surprisingly high ratio of stuff I know I like or am interested to stuff I've never heard of from First. I've been casually picking up Grimjacks and Flaggs for a while now, maybe I'll try a little harder.

myron · Post by **myron** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 9:43 am

that list got me wondering about what I had...did a little digging...found

Demon Knight, Hexbreaker and Badger Bedlam...forgot all about those...

have to see what more digging brings up...

If anyone has spares of the TMNT reprints, please PM me. I bought these when they were released, before I was buying monthly issues of anything, and they had a huge impact on me.

Long story short, I read and re-read these constantly until I went to college; parents moved during my undergrad years and I haven't seen them since. You'd think that it would be easy to find all four of these for cheap (since they were reprinted so often), but any I've come across are either beat to *SQUEE* or way out of reasonable price range.

These four books cover the first 11 (or 12?) issues of the original series, which was black and white. I don't remember the artists, but the coloring is actually really good on the FIRST books.

To add 'insult to injury', last summer I found a vendor on Amazon who was selling the original MIRAGE tpb that collected all these issues for $15 (cover price I think!), when I attempted to purchase this book he informed me that the price had gone up to $50 (ebay price?). Needless to say I was no longer interested.

I hear that MIRAGE is eventually going to reprint the entire first run of TMNT, but that they are adding grey tones and removing any Cerebus appearances from the early issues, so there is no ETA on them...

thanks,
.wil.

just started re-reading crossroads...great Rude covers, nice interior artwork and good storylines...nice reads.!

Cyberstrike · Post by **Cyberstrike** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 6:04 am

Crossroads is one the best "crossovers" that I've read.

JohnnyRnR · Post by **JohnnyRnR** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 8:09 pm

Okay, had to put my (meager) money where my mouth is and start trying to throw a universe together! I'll probably have to upgrade a few of these once I see them, but for what I paid, I won't be able to complain.

After my package(s?) arrive, I'll need:
American Flagg-All but 1

Badger-1-5, 7-16, 18, 22-25, 27-29, 31, 32, 34, 39, 46, 47, 59-61, 63, 65, 66, 68-70, Badger Bedlam 1

Original E-Man 1

Grimjack 14, 20-22, 24, 30, 34-37, 45, 46, 48-50, 52-56, 61, 62, 64, 67-70, 72, 73, 75, 77, Casefiles 3, 4

John Sable Freelance 3-6, 48, Mike Grells' Sable 1, Sable Return of the Hunter 8-16, 18-21, 24, 25

Nexus 1-6, 8, 14-16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 45-48, 50, 71, 73-77, Nexus Legends 1, 2, 6, 15, 16, 19-21, 23

Starslayer 7, 8, 12

Warp 5

Whisper 11, 12

I'll actually need many other books but I thought I'd only list the titles I had part of for now. From what I've spent so far, the Grimjacks and Whispers go for around 0.60 a pop, Badger around 0.50 each, everything else (even Nexus?!) went for next to nothing. The Elric and Corum books seem to go for about 1.50 each though (I got outbid). I'm hoping to pay ballpark of $0.50 a book plus shipping, in VF or better if anyone sees anything. More for the Elric or Corums. And if you see any of the S/N hardcovers, let me know how much.

Glad to hear it dude, i have a very good hit of the mainstream stuff they put out, but not many collected editions or hardbacks etc.

Time is on my side though.
