Is anyone actually all that interested in Magnus #12 any more?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

i felt the same way about that one. It's not the first Turok and is not the first appearance of his current iteration.

It may not belong on the list but it's one of my favorite comics. I'll never forget buying it as a kid. Magnus 12!

I was surprised to see so many Valiant books on the list. Cool, even if it is just an opinion piece.

They should redo that list and drop the variants. It's almost a variant-free list already... and it would be good to focus on comic contents again, rather than limited covers wrapped around otherwise not-very-collectible books.

Looking at this list, I just shake my head at the books I overlooked, the books I had and let go to early, and a few from my childhood that I should have, but don't....

One things for sure, whoever has multiple copies of Bone #1 in the stash, is the real MVP!!!! :thumb:

Love the ASM 300. I think it is one of the comics that will continually gain value every year kinda like Hulk 181 and ASM 129. It is probably the most copied cover of all time. Also, the Hulk 340 is one of my favorites. I have a comic wall in my house and always find myself standing in front of it just staring.

The image for Bone #1 in the list is some kind of reprint or trade, since it doesn't have a cover price.

This is the real one:
