Rare = 10-20 copies estimated to existkelargo wrote: #3 - Thou shalt not use the word 'rare' when describing any book valued under $10.
how does the non-chromium Shadowman 0 fit in?
the comic database says its six times rarer than the chromium...
but the sales is around $3.00.
Is it very rare? The reason I ask, is I just picked up a couple of copies.
but nothing special on the price.
Scarce = 20-100 copies estimated to exist
'Blood is the Harvest' is RARE. Shadowman #0 non-chromium is not. Is it rarER than the regular? Yes, but the regular isn't rare in any way, shape, or form, so using 'rarER' is a misnomer, at best. Is it 'harder to find'? Sure.
But not rare.
And...with the advent of eBay...NOTHING is 'hard to find' anymore unless it is GENUINELY hard to find, everywhere. Blood is the Harvest, for example.

Blood is the Harvest is a 1950 Anti-Communist comic published by the Catechetical Guild (Catholic). It's pretty far out stuff so far as propaganda goes. The sad part is....it was a bit prescient. Turns out Stalin DID kill millions. Ah well.kelargo wrote:What is "Blood is the Harvest" I mean, I looked it up,

There are 13 color copies and 5 black and white copies known. Pretty scarce.
Oh, and the Eclipse series you mention is an 'homage' to this book, printed in the 80's. Not the same.
