The later issues do have some monetary value just due to the low quantity print runs. Not big money but far more than cover-price. However, like many have said, most people that own them consider them priceless.
I will buy these in any form they are printed. I've got the original issues. I've got a full second set bound into custom hardcovers. I've got the Marvel trades, and I'm buying the IDW trades. I've got the 'Tales' Issues, the Action Force reprints of the US material, the digest mini comics... I just can't get enough. It's far from rational to buy the same material many times over, but there is such great nostalgia in the stories, the art, and even the ads. It's a feeling that's tough to replicate with any other comics, even others that I remember fondly. |

Too much for me to pay. I'd go $40 to $50. It lists in Wizard for $80. I also bought the "best of hawk" and the "worst of cobra" for $3 each. Score.

hasn't the comic market gone down a bit? With Torrents of whole series being available in one download, people aren't flocking hard to get back issues as much. I remember when the first appearance of Cable in new mutants was worth $200. Now you can get it for like $3.

That book is still a $25 to $35 comic. Shit, the second printing gold ink cover goes for about $10.

I saw GI JOE special Missions 1-19 at the comic shop for $20 bagged and boarded. I got the AVATAR Robocop 1-9 pack instead.
Gotta have some Jose Juan Ryp!

I'm reading the whole run now and I'm on like 139. It just hit the Transformers stuff and so I dropped back and read the original mini-series with them. MY RESPECT FOR LARRY HAMA has only grown: the mini-series had Hawk making out with a woman he barely knew, smoking, and drinking hard liquor. I really appreciate Hama keeping it clean. Even his newer stuff has less profanity and is just classier than the other new stuff I've seen. THANKS LARRY!
To be clear: the mini-series was not written by Hama! Last edited by turner; 08-11-2009 at 10:57 PM.. |
