There was a store in Oshkosh that I stopped at a while (ok, 3 years ago) back and the guy still had it on his "wall" with a high sticker price on it.

I offered him 5 bucks. Turned me down, but at least he wasn't rude about it.

He also had a harby 0 that he wanted way too much money for...especially since it was the "blue" from the TPB...and not the mail away...when I informed him of that he wasn't happy.

#12 was one of the books that seemed impossible to attain in the early 90's. Right up there with Harby #1 and Rai #3 (and I guess Solar #10).

That being said..... I would still take #0 over #12. Both are GREAT books.

I think the clincher for me would be #12 being the first appearance of Turok, I was really excited about him being in the VU back then.

Just admit it. You like #12 more because it has two chicks kissing.

The look on the face of Magnus when Elzy kissed Willow was priceless.
