As far as I know, only the cover will be different. 

Shops will get copies based upon the number of Vertigo titles they order.
The trick is that it's your smallest Vertigo order that determines the
number of copies you get. The local store gets about 200 copies of Sandman,
but maybe 30 copies of Shade. If you get one copy of the platinum Death
for every twenty-five issues (I think it was 25) then that shop would
only get 1 copy. 

So I think this stacks as to a fairly rare book. Despite its popularity on
the net, Sandman is still only about 75th in total issues sold. Shade,
Enigma, Hellblazer and other Vertigo titles are going to be below that.
So even with some high January orders, I think it is going to be a scarce
book. 

How much is it worth? I have no idea. I'd like one, but I'd guess the 
price on these things might go up fast just because current speculation
tends to drive this kind of thing up quickly. The price will also vary
by where you are. 

Perhaps we should ask SJC would have a better idea.

I have a few things to say to those advertising MINT books for sale.
I have been collecting comics for over 10 years and I am yet to 
find what I would call a mint book.  MINT means absolutely no defects.
if someone truly had a MINT book, then they would not sell it for less
than 5x guide(at least I wouldn't) because of the rarity.  My theory-
if you think that you have a MINT book, then you just haven't looked
hard enough!!!

Thanks for letting me know (although I would have liked it if you'd let me
know in e-mail first).  I based the price on quotes I got from a number of
other retailers.

In that case, I will withdraw the item from sale.

Again, thanks for letting me know (though this means I'm out of pocket for

I am desparately seeking Cry For Dawn #2.  I just can't find it anywhere. If
anyone is willing to part with a NM/M FIRST PRINT (this is important, as I
already have a second print of it), I'd love it.  I am also EXTREMELY
interested in the signed and numbered limited editions of issues IV-VI.  I have
the limited edition of VII, and have ordered #VIII.  In case any of you haven't
heard of these, they are a special editon (Original cover artwork by Linser!),
individually signed and numbered by both Linser and Monks.

I would be willing to trade for these as well as pay.  In trade, I can offer a
NM/M copy of DHP #24, SIGNED by good ole Mark A. Nelson.  Also, I have some
bagged Spiderman #1's (green w/UPC code), or a copy of PWJ #1, NM/M of course.

Does anyone know of any other work done by Michael Linser, other than his CFD
and Subtle Violents work?  His art style rivals Peter Hsu, which is the best
B&W art I have ever seen.

I also have the address of a new company out of NJ that specializes(sp?) in
less main stream stuff.  The owner seems to have close ties with the CFD crew. 
If anyone is interested, just drop me a line.  (OOPS! I've temporarily
misplaced this address.  Any subsequent requests for it will be placed on hold
until I uncover it.)

Thanx for your help.

          Actually, I think that Supes should be matched against the Hulk.
  Hawkeye should go against Green Arrow. Cap or Spidey vs. Batman, Dr. Pym vs. 
  the Atom, Mr. Fantastic vs. Elongated Man or Plastic Man, Punisher vs. 
  DeathStroke, ArchAngel vs. Hawkman(Ha!), are all reasonable match-ups in my
  humble opinion.

A friend of mine just bought a box of the new Marvel Masterworks cards and one
of the Battle Bonus cards is defective, it has Nothing on the back! The card
is the Captain America vs Red Skull on the front,  but the back of the card is
just white.  The other two Bonus cards he got in the box (Hulk vs Thing and
Spiderman vs Venom) had a normal backing.

Anyone else have a card like this or heard about defects?

Now I don't know what to think!

Nobody has even offered $30.00 for it yet, and Morgan's post confirms what I've
been told about a $60-$80 price range.

The book is still for sale, then.

And if anyone is able to get them for $20.00 a pop, I would certainly recommend
doing so.  That's as little as 25% of what I had been quoted.  Although I
now seriously doubt that anyone is selling them for that price.

In response to everyone giving this guy a hard time for asking for
7-10 copies of Superman 75....why are you bothering him.  I myself
won't buy a new comic unless I get at least five copies.  The book is
supposed to skyrocket within days, would you feel better having one
copy at 100@ or have ten copies at 100@.  If the comic takes a dive,
so it does, thats his problem.  Also, if multiples are bought, one can
be read and the rest can be preserved at NM.  And anyone who says that
they cannot tell the difference between a read book and a non read
book has not been in this industry too long.  Reality: why do you
write to marketplace, is it to find books that you have not read or is
it to find books at a cheap price then sell them later for a profit.
Really, we're only in it for the money.  I mean, I read Superman 75
and as usual(like most Supermans) it was one of the worst I've ever
read.  Why do you think DC killed him, for a good story, or artwork.
Yea right, who is Brett Breading, oh and nice storyline, seems like
something out of a Rocky movie, both hit eachother at the exact same
time, what genius came up with that.  DC killed Superman for sales,
plain and simple $$money$$.  If your not in it for the money....then
get out!  Thankyou and point well given!
