I don't read comics anymore, but I sure used to. For the last three weeks I've been on a work trip, which blissfully coincides with where I grew up. I've been staying with my folks in the same room I was raised in, albeit with a much different decor aesthetic (mom didn't dig bikini clad women, wtf?). I'll be getting on a plane later tonight to head home.
In packing up, I stumbled across a few boxes in the closet. I thought some of you might get a kick out of what I found:
Is that the first issue of almost every one of Image's launch titles? Yes, yes it is.
 |
| Spawn #1, Cyber Force #1, Spawn #1 Signed |
 |
| Youngblood #1, WILDCATS #1, Shadow Hawk #1, Shaman's Tears #1 |
 |
| StormWatch #1, The Maxx #1, Savage Dragon #1 |
 |
| Team 7 #1, Brigade #1 |
 |
| Tribe #1, Savage Dragon #1 (alternate?) |
And then some old Marvel favorites:
 |
| Cable #1, X-Men #1 signed by Jim Lee
|
 |
| Quasar #1 (LOL?), X-Force #1, Hawkeye #1 |
Did they actually MAKE these comics? And did I read them?
 |
| Turok #1, Darker Image #1 |
 |
| ALF, ThunderCats, KingArthur |
As it turns out I own something like 250 different comic books. Lots of G.I. Joe and X-Men and New Mutants. I was also very in to Image at one point, who knew?
It was a fun trip down memory lane. I got a kick out of it, hope you did too.
What, no Power Pack? :)
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about being THE target for the 90s boom. The best of the Image bunch you've got is no longer an active title.
ReplyDeleteI've got 7 of those issues, 8 if you include collected editions. :)
ReplyDeleteTo clear up your Savage Dragon confusion, the first is #1 of the original limited series. The second is #1 of the ongoing.
Just think, if you ever need money you can have them checked and graded. Depending on condition you could have a good few thousand dollars there. I have 25% of my old collection up on a site, and they think it's worth 16g's depending on condition.
ReplyDeleteI still lament that I didn't read more comics as I was growing up. I have one box pretty much full of them, and I think I only read about 4 or 5 issues.
ReplyDeleteMy main interest was saving them for when I grow up since I thought that was my ticket to getting rich by selling them.
Ah, the dreams of youth.
