I was frelling shocked when I grabbed it and there was a second copy behind it.

$2.50 is a little more than I like to pay for Ultraverse issues but I hardly see this one pop up on eBay much less run across them in the wild.

This mirrors last week when I found two copies of Zero Patrol #1 Newsstand ($1.50 cover price) in the backissue boxes.

That Elven book is so goofy, they call it a foil edition, but there isn't a hint of foil on it!

Mile High used to use the picture of the "foil" edition as their stock photo for Elven #1 regular version, used to really irritate me back when I was looking for that book. Looks like they have it fixed now.

Whoa... I can finally see these. Just like mine

These books are from Jim Shooter's 7 comic that was put out a while back. A few are starting to show up in circulation. Ryan over on VCS is doing a project of them but they are already signed. I scored an unsigned one and now VS has two.... kewl

Bunch of THE NEW EAGLE UK
1990 ~ 1992

Good run of 25 issues, half are the monthly versions.

All for £5.00? Plus £2.75 postage.

When they arrived ~ I saw that the postage was £7.79. SO they guy lost money on these.
He emailed me to see if they had arrived. I said thankyou ~ and gave 5 5 star rating.

If you don't know, the end of run Eagle ~ starting with the change to publishing monthly are lower print run, untill the title dies out.

I won a bunch of auctions off this one guy. I ended up paying almost as much for shipping as I did for the comics.

Lots of Lightning premiums.

There was more. These are the most interesting. I am building a decent hoard of those Arcadia TPBs.

Just picked up a Prudence & Caution 1 Spanish for $3.00. Also got an Italian language Prime 2 for $3.00.

The Prime 2 is kinda cool, it actually has Prime 2, Mantra 2 and The Solution 2 in the one book.

To what item do you refer? The Lightning premiums (of which I have several spares) or the Arcadia TPBs (of which I have several extra but am wanting to keep them all)?
