sojourn #1

dave · Post by **dave** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 9:50 pm

why is it so hard to find this book? it's the only "common" issue that i never seem to find anywhere...i've got the trades and all that, but since i'm a nerd, i really want issue #1....you know!

Is it getting HTF? I guess that's cool... say, also keep your eyes out on the "Sojourn Collected Edition" which is rumoured to have a print run near 1200.

Sojourn #1 always seemed to go for a good price, so I probably wouldn't consider it common as dave called it. You should be able to find it for less than $10, though.

For some reason, I doubt that print run on the Sojourn collected edition. I guess it's possible, but I know a few board members have huge hoards of that book, so it's seems unlikely that it is rarer than Armorines V2 #4 or something like that.

I was buying Crossgen books as they came out and Soujourn #1 wasnt that common at all, it was one of the harder #1's to find.

I actually need a Sojourn #1. I have a collected edition, but I am hoping to get a #1 today.

Sounds like some of the CG books could be the next Acclaim, in terms of difficulty of acquisition.

I can consistently find Sojourn #1 fairly consistently.

I don;t know what it's worth but have multiple copies. I plan on listing some books for sale within the next day, if there's interest... I will pull them out and offer them as well.

I believe that that is the Diamond order for that book, just over 1200. I'm not sure how many were actually printed, but it would seem to be very low...

I need to go find out where I heard that.....

Smashey had a huge, huge pile of those collected editions. It was a pic that had at least a 100, maybe more. Ask him, he posted a link a while ago to the Crossgen print runs.

If I remember right, he said he had 280 when last he gave a number to it.

i called it "common" not just common, because it's not a (supposedly) rare edition like a valiant gold book or other short print book...

i've found FOUR armorines v2 #4's....ended up selling all of them to board memeber sound of the universe...but i've never SEEN a sojourn #1 in a store....weird.

When I see the word common used for a comic book, I tend to think of 90's overprinted books.

I have about 15 sojourn #1 that i found in this old dusty book place that was just getting to close down.It did take me forever to get a copy of the 1st issue though.

Sojourn: CE was probably the third CG book that I ever got and I didn't even have an interest in CG it just showed up in a group of books. I now have two without trying, I can't possibly believe that it is that rare.

It might not be rare,but it is a tough book to come by.

All I know is Sojourn #1 seems much tougher to get than the collected edition. I could buy the collected edition all day from Mile High and Lone Star for less than $3 a pop.

Nah, I'm not trying to bust your hump on this, I know we've heard the print run thing before, which is why Smashey was stocking up on these.

I know - it was just sorta funny that every time I looked in here it was another post about how the CE isn't..... so I had to be a little self-deprecating.

It was something that came out not long ago in the Crossgen sticky, also. It happened while you were on walkabout.

I couldn't find it on the CG list in the next section over...

Couldn't find it either. There have been some changes over there so maybe it went away.

I saw a stack of about 30 at a flea market one time.

One out of that stack would be the one you mentioned.

I do remember hearing there was a second print with a greater print run than the first.
