Excellent on the Harby #0 pink. You can barely spot it in the pic - good detective work!

Really?
I was wondering if it was bragg worthy :hm:

Glad you guys think so.

The guy has an incomplete set 10 of the 12 for the same money posted ~ may grab that aswell.

The series is underrated, and issue 12 (included in the non complete set above) sometimes in the us goes for $3 by itself.

Well, according to Greg’s check list each is worth $1 USD except for #12 as you pointed out—so £4 shipped would amount to less than 1/2 of guide.

IMHO, it’s a good deal if you need the books and the condition is right.

Finally scored a set of these low print Zongo/Jimbo comics from the mid '90s:

And one more "Groo" Sketch card on the left. The one in black ink is a bit more unique since it was sketched 2 years later at a con but on the same card with the back cover art from the Wildstorm set. Sergio must have had extra blank cards leftover when this was sketched:

Dude. Twelve more Sergios and you can finally get that Jim Lee you always wanted. :lol:

Seriously, though, the Sergio sketches are freakin' sweet. I love his art style and Groo just plain rocks. :clap:

You are the Groo master. Love it!!




I've been looking for the Mary Jane / Spider-Man You Just Hit the Jackpot tpb on the cheap for a while.

I got one on ebay for $5.50 free shipping. The auction included the Clone Genesis reprinting the Clone Saga. The seller also included Spider-Man: Blue.

So three trades that I needed with a retail of $57 for $5.50 was a good deal for me.


In a separate auction, I won the tpb reprinting the first part of McFarlane's ASM run for $7 shipped. By buying that, I have the whole TM ASM run in tpb and don't have to spend alot of cheese on the omni they announced for $100.

Magnus-Predator TPB

Post by kevinbastos »

I saw this for $49, and figured I'd take a gamble. When the Magnus-Predator's normally $150+ in any condition, I thought I'd take a stab.

I will let you know if it turns out...

Sorry - amazon has already removed the listing - but if it's good, I'll brag the seller, bad - I'll drag the name through the mud.

It called it 'collectible' condition. Frankly, for $50, I'll take VG-ish condition :roll:

I had been eyeing that same one...curious to know how it looks. And since I'm not jealous or anything ( :mad: ), I hope it is in Gem Mint condition.

It came today.

The top left corner - on the spine - has a tiny crease - looks like it was dropped, or perhaps bent a tiny bit during shipment.

Otherwise, the book is unread.

If I was listing it, I'd call it VF - but indicate it has a tiny crease on the front cover.

But... I ain't sellin it.
