@Towmater Ah, I don't expect the comic community to ooh and ahh over every comic, the majority of the community does only care about Gold/Silver era comics though. I suppose that's just the generation at the moment. It will take a number of years before modern books are more appreciated, if they ever are.

Books that I like, from the beginning of Image, to Darkhorse, won't ever be all that collectable for the simple fact of numbers. There was just a over publication in that era of collecting.

All I can do is hope everyone else threw their issues out lol


I like some of the Image Books. I liked what Valentino did with ShadowHawk. Kieth's idea for the Maxx and where it all took place was very original.

@Towmater Shadowhawk is a completely underrated book in my opinion. Not just because of the cool covers. It was a really well drawn and written.

@MR_SigS I was a bit late in getting into Kieth, first noticed him in his Maxx series, and to be honest, I didn't like the art. It was way out there, compared to the other artists I was into at the time, like Jim Lee, Andy and Adam Kubert.

As I matured and really got into the Maxx storyline is when I really started to appreciate the nuances and flow he presented. Then I was hooked after picking up Aliens Earth War. I stumbled on that in the late 90's as I was getting out of collecting, so they were difficult to get my hands on, along with all the other late 80's early 90's Dark Horse.

As for Dale Keown, his Pitt series is just awesome. I managed to pick up most of the missing issues the other week.

Didn't realize the Full Bleed Studio's had such a limited print run

When I first opened Hulk #367 I was floored. The thinning grey Hulk almost looked like something Wrightson would draw. And it was a welcome change to the Jeff Purves run, which was very hit or miss for me.

@MetalPSI Were you about to snag copies of 14b and 20? They seem to be a bit more pricey than the other issues.

I picked up 20 in pretty NM condition for around $15

I didn't know there was a variant of 14 Pic?

@Jesse_O I think that is a variant cover for the IDW reprint of the series

It took me a bit to find it, but the seller lists it as an 11x17 promo poster for Image.

I'm sure I've seen it on Sam's blog. Not 100% sure what it is. Print of some kind. I'm in doubt its a promo poster

What other issues did you submit? I am kicking myself that I didn't submit my issue 2 along with my 1/2 and 1.

I submitted a full 1-35 run of The Maxx, along with MCP 85-92 (First Cyber) and some books I got signed for Larsen.

Some photo's are over the limit here for some reason.

I don't even want to calculate what that must have cost, but I admit I am jealous. I don't think Sam Keith will be doing a signing again soon.
