Why hoard Bloodshot #1? You should hoard his first appearance... Rai #0. :wink:

25 cents is a little generous.

Would you rather have a stack of Hulk #180 or #181?
How about Amazing Spider-man #299 vs. #300?

Eternal Warrior #4 is Hulk #180, ASM #299...
Rai #0 is Hulk #181 and ASM #300. :thumb:

I feel .25 is too much for Turok #1, Rai #9 and Magnus #25, but I have no problem paying .25 for Bloodshot #1. I'm not sure why that is... :?

I guess you're right...

There are 30,000 less copies of EW #4 than Rai #0, though. It's rare in comparison... :P

That's all you have to say about comparing Eternal Warrior 4 and Rai 0 to these other books?

I am disappointed. :cry: There are no more heroes.

Here's the first.....

"Back in the day", EW #5 was considered the TRUE first appearance of BS.

Now, granted, he appears in "flashback" in Rai #0, which came out between the books....

But....back in the day, it really was EW #5 that was important (though EW #4 was no slouch.)

Both books ended up being $15-$20 books by summer of 1993.

I know, right...?

For the record.....

EW #4 and #5, along with Rai #0, were "the last" really "key" books that Valiant made. Oh, sure, there was the flash in the pan Solar #14 and #15 (same time), and X-O #14 and 15, but EW #4, 5, and Rai #0 were the last ones that made a huge splash and stayed valuable for quite some time (almost a year.)

Shadowman #8, as much as I love it, didn't quite manage that, and came out at the same time.

Craziness.

I've never done a single illicit drug in my life. Had PLENTY of opportunities to (I'm a California boy, of course)....but never chose to.

Unless you count being in the same room as pot smokers.... :hm:

It's the one vice I can stand before God and say I was clean on. :thumb:

The other stuff, though....oy vey.....
