| I've noticed that some of the first or early appearances in Magazine size books don't get the love that other firsts would get. In particular I'm thinking of Starlord and Rocket in Marvel Preview 4 and 7. Also the story from Star Wars 48 originally ran in Marvel Super Special 16 which doesn't carry nearly the same value. Also there are some very early Punisher and Moon Knight appearances that are pretty inexpensive in Magazines. I'm sure the print runs were low in these magazines. Are they just not as collectible because of their size? Is it a storage issue? Shipping issue? What's your position on collecting Magazine Size comics? | ||

| I collect treasuries myself, find it easy to fold them in half to fit in the comic box. And I'm not talking about folding them length wise either  Seriously, I don't go for magazines as I don't have the mylars to fit them and storage. |

| @EbayMafia can't explain but I prefer comics over magazines. Even having a signature or a sketch, I would take it on a comic than a mag, poster or board. | ||

I've always been the same way about magazines. Slabbing is expensive and has to go through CGC, also storing is awkward. But now that I'm thinking more about the possibility of displaying rather than storing, they are growing on me. Some of the covers are pretty cool. I bought these 2 recently based 100% on the cover art:  |

| Not at all. Some of my favorite books are magazine size. They are beautiful both way. I have actually been complaining weather to submit my Vampirella #1. What do you guys think? | ||

| Not less likely when purchased for myself. I love them and feel content is more cutting edge than comics from 60s, 70s, 80s I am; however, less likely to purchase with intentions of selling. Many Comic folk are very fickle and if magazines doesn't fit physically the way they want to see their collection, or doesn't fit in their mind they won't purchase. |

| I buy magazines mainly for the covers, although I do read the cool Conan or horror style stories inside too. Cheaper is a bonus. I can get very high grades, unlike many comics that are priced too high for that. |

A question that is only slightly off-topic... does anyone have any experience getting over/magazine-sized books slabbed? Can they be pressed? I bought this on Mercari because it combines two of my favorite things... |

| Love first appearances. If it’s magazine size, it’s fine by me. (sorry for the glare)  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 You drummed up another childhood memory. The X-men were in Bizarre Adventures magazine when I was around 12 years old. The cover was too good to pass up. I remember the stories being much more mature than anything I had read before in comics. I think Jean Grey was haunted by the childhood memory of her sister being killed by a car and the psychic pain as she felt her sister die in her head.  |
