Comics that were once hot for silly reasons

ZephyrWasHOT!! · Post by **ZephyrWasHOT!!** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 11:21 am

I have..hmmm...I have something Jack Kirby Secret stuff....for the life of me, I can't remember what it's called...but it's got a Walt Simonson (one of my all time faves, by the way!) cover, and came in something like chrome, red, gold.....maybe something else. I buy them when I run across them.

By the way....if someone's selling New Mutants Annual #2 in NM for $1, I'll buy EVERY single one you can get (you know, up to like 100 or so...let's not get TOO crazy!) They're just not easy to find out here, DOUBTLESS because of the massive Asian population in California.

So....anyone out there? $1 each, plus S&H.

The Kirby stuff had a Simonson cover, if memory serves, and there was the regular bluish silver edition and the Kirby-chrome goldish edition. I don't recall a red one, but if you have one, let me know! I'm a Kirby fanatic!!!!

Well she might not be the best looking girl out there, but she is by far one of the better Psylocke cosplayer I've seen to date. She got that costume made 100% accurate to the last details. That is unless you've seen a better Psylocke cosplayer, then bring on the pics.

Yeah, I have a red one...if I find it (HA!) I'll scan it for you...

and no...it's not for sale.

I figure, barring some catastrophe, we're gonna have a really neat Sotheby's sale right about 2032.

Wow....a red one! Why doesn't it show up on the CGC census?

No one's sent it in yet.

So the red one's are rare? Huh, I bought one at a store in NW AR called Rock-Bottom's. I alredy had the gold version and thought the red was the regular and got it to read (which I never got around to doing, of course.)

Same trip, got Harby 1-5 with coupons intact, Solar MOTA 1-11 and some scattered pre-Unity X-O, Rai, Magnus and ShadowMan, all for around $25-30. Cool guy running that shop -- Has an original Marvel Kirby page hanging on the wall as you walk in (if I remember correctly.)

BTW RF, if you really want it, I'll trade you the Kirby red for the Defiant U book if you get extras.

Ninjak 6 & 7

You mean Bloodshot #6 and 7, featuring the first Ninjak?

I thought of a couple more...Thor #432 and 433. Thor "kills" Loki (yeah, right) and #433 had the "new" Thor.

And X-Men #253...wow, a new team! The X-Men are now Forge, Strong Guy, Legion, Moria McTaggart, and Siren, if I remember correctly. Yeah, that lasted a while.

Or Avengers #300. Another new team! Steve Rogers, Mr. Fantastic, Sue Richards, Thor, and The Forgotten One! Wow! (though I don't think this issue was ever hot)

Dunno....I got one in a lot deal on eBay about 5 years or so ago, and haven't seen another. I would assume they're 'rare', but....books like this (just like Shadowman Vol 3 #2 Var) have a tendency to disappear in collections and never get seen again, until some event, years down the road, recalls people's minds, and they dig them out.

Don't worry...it's going in the book.

I have a feeling that if and when I can get this book published, there might be a lot of surprises. At least there will be interest.

I still buy Moon Knight #55, cause they really missed the boat production wise on this one.

It's still a solid $3-$5 book.

And I love EW #4.

I can't resist buying them at 25-50 cents when I see them.

GL #48 will prove...if they don't ditch Rayner, as they seem to have...to be a rather important book.

BUT...if they ditch Rayner, and he disappears forever, to be replaced again by Hal....

then forget it.

This kills me!

I loved Rayner. Hal was such a puss character when I was growning up. Always whinning about something and always first to get his *SQUEE* kicked when going into a JLA battle. Although I do like Hal in the current storyline. At least now he doesn't come off one dimensional.

Anyways, I digressed. Supreme #12, 1st platt work at image.

I thought Prophet #4 (variant) was the 1st Platt work at Image...
which is a book that definitely qualifies for this category.

As noted much times before, any book by Rob Liefeld.

His suck factor is

I thought this as well, I wasn't even aware Platt did a Supreme issue...

lobo · Post by **lobo** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 6:15 pm

How about these once hot samples:

SW: Dark Empire #1 and #2
Darkhawk #1-#3
New Warriors #1
And their first appearance Thor #411 and #412

Are all those early Jim Lee Uncanny Xmen issues still going for solid bucks?? I don't pay attention to anything Xmen any more.... other than Wolverine.

riftt · Post by **riftt** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 7:17 pm

i dunno if darkhawk 1-3 were ever that hot. Never saw #1 about $10 in Wizard, and hell I remember when Robocop #1 was $15

I think Platt only did the cover for SUPREME #12 and 25 (and some of the covers for the later Alan Moore issues, too).
