So true. The are was solid, and I didn't think the stories were too bad.

But, then again, I'm fairly easy to please. ;-)

I prob shouldn't post this, as I have yet to actually get it, but I will when I return to the store midweek. I have located a VF-NM copy of Dr. Solar Man of the Atom, by Gold Key, Issue #1, which with my employee discount, I will get for around 20 dollars, perhaps a slight bit less once I reassess the value and haggle a bit. I'm so caught up w my VALIANT books that I am now looking at VH2/3 and Gold Key...as well as doubles and Variants, of course. Btw, that Bloodshot variant from VH2 is a great cover and one of the harder VH2 early issues to find in good condition, least around these parts.

If you don't have it already and if the dude wouldn't charge you any more for shipping, you should get this:

I am curious - why are these valuable? Why/what makes these a collectors item? Thought I'd ask since I am probably not the only person who is wondering this. Thanks Q

They were fairly underproduced, especially the strategy guide. They are actually cute, and fun to play, and have a big cult following.

But, there's been a whole series. So, you gotta get them all, right?

We wouldn't know anything about that though here at VF.com would we? :|

You should have sold that guy five kicks in the *SQUEE* for $5. He would have gotten a better deal.

Fatale: Inherit The Earth TPB

$4.80

Not sure if it's a good deal or not. I know the Hardcover is pricey, but don't know about the soft.
