So I rarely find decent cheap comics. Locally either no place has comics or they got glut stuff and want 5 bucks an issue "cause they 30 years old.

Today made the long drive east to a tiny ass town. Cherry Panda collectibles big huge building full. Dude had 400 short boxes. Most of the comics bagged and boarded. At first he was wanting 2 bucks a comic and "3 bucks for first editions" which to him was any issue #1. Was there with a buddy,who was going thru 60 binders of sports cards,waiting so started organizing the short boxes. 3 hours later 50 of the short boxes are organized. Dude thanks me and hooked me up

Went to a local comic warehouse sale this weekend, they had about 100 long boxes out of $1 books.

I geeked out when I found the last 5 issues of The Maxx. I had #'s 1-30 that I bought off the rack when it first came out but never grabbed the last few and #35 in particular is like a $100 book, with #'s 31-34 in the $25-50 range. So I snatched all five issues up for $1 a piece.

Nah good find man. I would have bought all of them and had them sold before the next weekend. Love the Maxx but some of those issues go for so damn much.

I considered it, but I really like the series and wanted to have the full run.

Is there a decent TPB or hardcover collection of all of the Maxx? I know there is various short stories Kieth did in all kinds of titles.

There are trades out there but they're OOP too and not all that cheap, at least not on eBay. And I prefer single issues.

I have run out of space for single issues. So besides upgrades trying to only take in and keep tpbs and hardcovers
