Anyone else collect this? I'm not old enough to have read it when it was first released but I'm a sucker for old sci-fi. The covers look good the the books seem relatively inexpensive. I'm hoping to win the auction on this one later today: Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has interest in this title. If you do, please share your thoughts or any books you have. I like the concept behind the plot. |

| I just traded 4 of the older Magnus issues (about 2 months ago). I have 8 or 10 of the series from the 90's. |

I love 'em! Haven't gone after a high grade #1 yet, and I really should.        |

| I was working on a Magnus set for a while, but phasing out a lot of my comic collection. I have two copies of #1 in Shipping right now, and another 34 magnus books in process with CBCS. It's a great series. George Wilson did some of his best work IMO on Magnus. Extremely hard books to find in super high grade. |

| Magnus was basically my introduction to Sci-fi comics when I was a kid. I absolutely LOVE them!!! I don't actively seek them out right now, but if I run across them I pick them up. I'm REALLY concentrating on my Cap volume 1 run right now. | ||

I avoid all confusion by calling it a tunic.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by MR_SigS Exactly! A top -- not a bottom. No holes for legs. Whatever that is Magnus wears involves two holes for legs. So is it a tunic and some Nike compression shorts? (See, this is why I went with a skort.) One thing is for sure: it's very clingy when it wants to be. |

| Is there anything I need to watch for when collecting these? I've seen a reprint of #1 but it said reprint right on the cover. I don't want to end up overpaying for reprints or something like that. Any info is much appreciated. | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| The link? Yes. That's a very useful site, check it out. Most books show every publication containing reprints, or from what source it was reprinted. Not every book has info- lots of obscure titles no one has offered info on, and maybe some brand new ones, but most comics are listed here. When I see something I'm not hunting for, but looks interesting, I check the GCD for more info. |

| It's such a useful site. If you want to know every known comic so-and-so wrote/drew/edited whatever, this will tell you. It's how I hunted down most of the lesser known books I have signed by Mike Royer. | ||

| GCD is my go to comic info site. I find it a lot easier to use than any other site. Although, I do like Comic Vine for when I want to just look at the covers of a certain series. | ||
