Value wise I would too, but #12 would be my sentimental favorite.

#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.

Necroscope II 1 was magazine sized as I recall.

Necroscope I 1 had two covers, you have the hologram cover.

I won this one yesterday, so I haven't actually gotten it yet. I am pretty pumped, but I feel like I am missing something. Anyone see something I am missing?

I paid the exact same price for one late last year.

Good snag. I am proud of mine.

Wow, I'll have to keep a closer eye on ebay I guess.

Maybe. It's not a good series, but it has low print runs as a whole and while there isn't much demand for it now-probably never will be-I saw a "rare" book cheap and thought why the hell not. Now if only I could come across a GBU or GLOW, then I'd really be in business. The difference there is, those are actually GOOD books.
