So after buying the complete Ellis Stormwatch set I wanted to re-read it and realized I sold or misplaced my tpb complete set. So I can read the individual issues as I have a few sets, but I was missing one issue which is why my most recent purchase cost $18.90 including shipping.
The Stormwatch team gets wiped out by the Xenomorphs in this issue.
The issue with the Aliens gets reprinted sometimes with the pages featuring the actual Xenomorphs cut in new versions due to issues with the rights. Good to see the OG stuff.
I did find my tpb collection of Stormwatch including Final Orbit after buying the W/A issue. I could’ve never imagined it was behind my run of Spectacular Spider-Man!?
I actually have kept Pennys pre 1982 due to the high copper content. I like squishing them in those souvenir machines. The later ones smear the zinc from the interior and don’t look right.
I also have steel 1943 Pennys that I use for special squishes. Like trains or ship memorials. But you need to be careful because some of the machines have a magnet in them to “catch” fake slugs….and it jams up the machine.
