Yes, bottom two are mine.
Sold 1-4 as a set, partitioned out 5 given the black cover premium it demands.
I have another 1-5 I havenât listed yet.

Sold a Murder drones #1b for $23.99 on Mercari. Pays for those books.
This is what killed my hopes of any other indy making it. We live is so f-ing good.
Also still waiting on that Kaiju Score movie
Keep an eye out for Alex Pardee covers. I think heâs only done 3 so far, but they all go for good money.
That invader Zim looks badass.
All their stuff looks scary. Do they draw happy things, ever? Nightmare fuelâŠ
Nope. Itâs all monsters and stuff. Vivid, bright colors. I really dig it.
One interesting dynamic to the whole spec, fomo, comic shops, manipulating thing is one I donât know if weâve talked about much.
Itâs the not buying initially at inflated prices when in certain cases your gut says says go all in and you still buy in early at an inflatated price.
My shop tends to maybe, maybe have one or two copies on the rack on new release days. Sometimes zero (pulls are fulfilled). After that day, and some later on release day they are marked up. In this very recent scenario it was DâOrcs. I had a pull copy. Went to the shop the next day and they were $24.99. gadzooks rightâŠbut I bought one.
Itâs not always like that, I/we know that but sometimes the opportunity is still there. Same with some books you all mention that I blew it on FOC (doesnât happen much), Iâll gladly go to ebey and pay for a slightly inflated price now for a book Iâll never see and will be fat more expensive in a bit (the mora 3rd print ko book thatâs coming).
Monsters is another great example. At the time my shop had Monster #1s priced at $30 apiece. Just a bit after launch. People were saying it nonsense. I bought 4.
Anyways, Iâm chattyâŠyou all get me by now.
Makes sense. Thanks.
I have the hunt for red October variantâŠ.would like to move it.
Move it quick. I find that movie news doesnât carry quite the same weight as series news.
I canât gage the value. One copy sold for $4. Another is listed for $20. Then the rest are bundled with other books.
I could do an auctionâŠstart it at $20 I supposeâŠ
Really good series. I hope it gets made.
I need to list my cover a today.
Youâd make a great comic shop owner⊠âI donât care if one sold for $4, I wanna sell mine for $20 cause thatâs how much itâs worth⊠dagnabbit!!!â ![]()
Comic shop owner is not something I have any desire to beâŠso your comment is moot.
Nope, still stands whether you have the desire or not⊠since I said âyouâd make a great shop ownerâ⊠hahaâŠ
In a way weâre all online comic shops with eBay pricing ![]()
