The Quest for Nintendo Comics

Baloo · Post by **Baloo** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 4:04 pm

Scroll back to 2004. A decent comic book store near me had a very nice-looking hardback book called "The Best of Nintendo Comics System" for a whopping THREE dollars. Being the video game fan that I am (I have over four hundred games :X) I had to pick it up. Over the years I would find an issue here and there, which leads me to finding total about 7 different comics from various series. They were very far and few between though.

I was always a fan of comic books though, since I was a kid. Reading lots and LOTS of Archie and That Wilkin Boy and all the spinoffs purely for enjoyment, whether it be regular issues, double digests, etc.

Fast forward to now, where a cleaning out of my room and a recent comic book convention tickled my fancy in trying to find all of the comics I never got to read as a kid. And After going to every booth and calling/asking at all eight comic book stores in the general vicinity, I have found zilch

. And my difficulties with dealing on eBay has led me here, in search for more Nintendo Comics System Comics!

Welcome.

Nintendo Comics rock. Even Gameboy reads like a Broadway comic.

That yellow Mario variant up there is pretty cool. I still need one of those.

Thanks for the heads-up but I'm just looking for one of each to read.

In fact I only have the Best of Nintendo Comics System hardback, looking for the other three.
