The same LCS that I found the $2.50 version of visitor had a Hulk 181 right in the sun in their counter. I asked to see it, just to say I had held one, and they wouldnt let me (all i could think of was the sun's consistent damage to that book).

They'll let it burn in the sun, but not let a customer hold it? What a great place.....

It's not VALIANT, but I'm damn proud of it!

It was a mere $16.99 shipped! The seller had no pics, only a description and good feedback. I was the only bidder at $9.99, I imagine the seller would be sick to know my snipe was set at more than 10 times the opening bid. This book completes my Quality Comics run of The Spirit!

When I started, I never dreamed that I would actually complete a series that ran from 1944-1950. Now I'm thinking I need to pull togethter the Sunday inserts.....

very nice! Heck, I'd be happy just to have a complete set of the Kitchen Sink comic size reprints. I've got one Spirit newspaper section...somewhere around here. It's in pretty nice shape for old newsprint.

No way. I feel like that was a steal actually. I've seen them go for a whole hell of a lot more.

I'm not saying it's a bad price, it's not unless it does finally gets reprinted. I always fear the reprint on these books.

But as the market stands now, it's a fair price!

Yeah, I wish I could know the exact moment these were getting reprinted. My auctions would end a few days beforehand.

I have my doubts about this series ever being reprinted, though.

Right now I'm only missing #7, and #8 to having a complete reading set. I have the 3rd and 4th trade paperbacks and as I get them I'm selling off the individual issues.

Went to an LCS today and bought about 350 comics from their 10-cent boxes. I had to do some sorting and it took me about two hours to organize and put this stuff together but I got:

Detective Comics #598 through 658.

Complete runs of every Superman title from right after Reign of the Supermen through Superman: Y2K

Complete run of the 80's Phantom Stranger miniseries.

Impulse #1 through 45

Hawkman (1993 series) #1 through 30

The Spectre (1990s series) #1 through 20

Re-Animator miniseries (Adventure comics)

Green Lantern "Emerald Twilight" series.

Legends of the Dark Knight #1 through 89.
