cool book, i forgot about that one!
Hill I will die on: this is the single greatest holo/foil/gimmick cover of all time. I bought two copies off the shelf in 1992 and just basked in the glow of perfection. I see these in a dollar bin and I curse the unknown names of those who would relegate such beauty to the trash heap.

You gotta wonder what goes into the decision making process.
Like what is holding DC back from putting out detective 168?
Whatās holding marvel back from putting out ASM 14, or Spotlight 5?
And then some of the ones we get (X-men #1, 1991) leave you scratching your headā¦

Itās lame and just laughable how so many stores cant sell/make money on store variants for new books nowadays, that they have to REPRINT an old book and put a shiny foil cover on itā¦

Iām not aware of any of those.
What I do see nearly all have abandoned the whole 3000 print with 1000 virgin model ($15/$30), and are going right to ālimited to 500ā model and asking $40. Obviously they were getting stuck with 1000s of copies sitting in the store or warehouse each variant they put out there.

I think the only comic I see more often than these 2, is Brigade and that white polybag superman rebirth issue.
Not long ago went to a garage sale and there were literally close to 100 of them just sitting in a box for $0.25 each. I couldnāt get myself to purchase them. Just couldnāt. It couldnāt shake that it was like finding sand at a beach.

But, sparkly sand! I mostly love the book and the Ghost Rider book because they were a big deal when I was a kid collecting. Nostalgia. They donāt have a whole lot of value outside of that. GR still has some resale value, I guess.
