It Came From the Bargain Bins, or, Cool Finds for Cheap

[Farrell]

My mother in-law went to a garage sale and picked me up some comics.  She got me a Spider-Man annual drawn by Frank Miller and a few Batman books, one of them drawn by Garcia-Lopez!   

Nice!  Giving mothers-in-law a good name!

I just bought the Best of Simon and Kirby and the Astonishing X-Men Omnibus for $41 shipped thanks to Amazon reward points and a special deal for me through Amazon Gold Box.

[Bill Doughty]

Mycomicshop.com has had Marvel's Essential Godzilla for dirt cheap for a while now, but thanks to their super saver email password, I ended up getting an additional percentage off (5 or 10... I can't remember), so it ended up only being $4.48.  Pretty hard to beat that, and I've been meaning to get it for a while, anyway.

The discount last week also extended to humor books, so I picked up two issues of Archie's Weird Mysteries, because I have a fondness for oddball Archie books (and they didn't have the issues of Jughead's Time Police that I wanted.       )

[The Questyen]

Got some deals today at half price books:

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 2 TPB ($3.98 / used a 50% off coupon)
Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 Hardcover ($5.98 / I already had the softcover but couldn't beat that price. I'll donate the softcover to my wife's classroom)
Skreemer TPB ($6.98 / never heard of it but it looks like a neat Vertigo series written by Peter Milligan and art by Steve Dillon)

[The Questyen]

More Half Price Book deals:

Zot!: The Complete Black and White Collection / $5.98
Jonah Hex TPB Vol. 1 (Palmiotti & Gray) / $6.48

Essential: Werewolf by Night Vol 1 for £2.50
New Mutants Volume 1 for £3.20
and the steal of the all was Blankets for 99p!

Today, along with my regular stuff and a stack of twenty-five cent books, I walked out of the shop with this little gem:



 

THREE DOLLARS!

[Stupendous Man]

That looks awesome.  I want an electro-robot hand.

THREE DOLLARS!

Cool! I want a team-up between the Agents of Liberty and the Agents of Atlas! 

[Ted Falconi]

Pretty decent day at Half Price Books

22 assorted issues of Powers; Justice League: The New Frontier Special #1; Underdog #5 (1994); Mickey Mouse Adventures #5 (1990)
X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas #2; Adventure Comics #2; Popeye #5 (1994); Richie Rich #20 (1994)
Assault on New Olympus #1; The Last Days of Animal Man #1, 3, 4, 5, 6
and UFO's No Place To Run album
all for just over $20.00.

I was planning on picking up both X-Men/Atlas issues this week at the LCS, so that was a good find.  It probably shouldn't be too hard to scare up the #2 of Animal Man.

[Gordie]

No Place To Run is one of my favorite UFO LP's.
Nice.

...oh yeah, the comics are pretty cool too.

[Gordie]

I picked up 25 asst. issues of MAD magazine from 1965 - early '70's, for 2 bucks.
Will post my opinions about nostalgia for the old days this weekend.

[VinceB]

Two standouts from the stack of twenty-five cent books:

Marvel Age #1: Simonson does Crystar! Marvel history! Unpublished art! Who needs more? I plan to bind the entire run once I track down the six or so I need.

World War Hulk: Gamma Files: I love finding OHOTMU books on the cheap. Essential and worthwhile reads, but they can get kinda spendy, especially on top of all the regular stuff we buy every week. This will be bound with the Planet Hulk run and the Gladiator Guidebook. That's some good readin', right there. 

[NecroBaker]

Last sale I went to, I picked up Incredible Hulk #181 and Rising Stars #0-24 for $70.

I will be at the next one tomorrow at 7am.  And hoping to do some damage to my list of back issues.

Shopping early for the Vin-man, huh? You're the BEST!
