Yesterday I bought my very first pre-Unity Magnus (#13)

This post might technically belong on another forum, but this is a big deal for me. I've been looking for pre-Unity every chance I find... which isn't a ton.

I thought it was my first pre-Unity of any kind, but just remembered a few early Solars I picked up but haven't had time to read.

Usually the price asked for for pre-Unity is too high for my blood. But this was a dollar or less and in a protector sleeve, even.

The hunt is the fun.

Keep us posted on how it’s going!

I just checked and it was 20 cents!!!
But no polybag, so there's that.
I need to read the thing, too. I can't wait but paradoxically can't seem to find the time.

That day I also picked up my very first Gold Key book. There was no Gold Key Three and I didn't want to spend the money for known properties like Flash Gordan and Son of Tarzan, so for 95 cents I grabbed DAGAR THE INVINCIBLE although I don't see an issue number. Was it a one-shot?

That day I also discovered the Deathmate Pink is not actually an issue, only a "preview"

Dagar is a fun series, the issue numbers for Gold Key comics are hidden in the fine print on page one. As for pre-Unity, try to track down Magnus 1-4, Solar 1-4, Harbinger 1-4, and X-O 1-2. Those all read like blockbuster movies that really get the Valiant universe ball rolling.

Those old 60s Gold Keys are just fun comics to read.

Glad to see people are still hunting down the early stuff and finding good deals.
