Collecting a DU by accident

Drift · Post by **Drift** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:34 am

I have started to order my collection and have found a chunk of stuff By Pirhanna Press. I have had a look around the interweb and found out basically that they were a DC imprint in the early 90's that specialised in "alternative" material but know nothing else about them.

I have:

Etc # 1-5
The Wasteland
Sparrow
The Score 1-5 (duh 1-4. I knew what I meant)

I can also get hold of #2 of the brilliantly titled Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children.

Can anyone help me with a list of what they did so I can bag the rest?

Unless it was like, a Miracle on Broadway or a Bloodshot 0 Platinum, I wouldn't do it.

I've picked these up sporadically. A complete run of Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children is a challenge to pick up, plus the Cotton Candy Autopsy book goes for good money when it turns up.

I just cant beleive they actually gave Prince his own comic book. That must just be a wonderful read......weird, and actually....they gave him 2 comics

You work with me and that says everything about how bad you want comics.

What would he do for a Klondike bar?

What would he do for a Rai 9 VVSS?

What would he do for a Unity 0 Red?

Genius

The unity Red, i'm not sure he's too worried till he gets a reading set first,
but you might just have him with the Klondike bar( whatever it is, im sure he'll know)

Got it in the week.

A 5mm knock top left spine from bad packing, but it even came in original plastic folder.

Drift is not as fussy with condition as me. Just happy to get it for free.

I figured 35p was worth the gamble and it was.

So in the last 30 days i have picked up three of these for a total of £2.00.

Now just need:

These are going to be tough. Sckao just mentioned in another thread how tough #21 was, I looked online and couldn't find one.

The Cotton Candy Autopsy trade is also a rare one, I have one. When a seller has one and knows how hard they are to find, they usually put a hefty price tag on them. Here's an extreme example:

I may have a few leads on the last couple issues of BSFUC but that CCA looks like it might be a bit of a *SQUEE*.

I feel silly, I said just about the same exact thing earlier in this thread.

Why I hate Saturn was a one-shot by Kyle Baker, published in 1990.

It was reprinted in 1998 under the Vertigo banner.
