    Hit a local pawn shop,where the owner is a collector. Walk in see a long box of comics. Fairly priced non key silver and bronze age stuff,mostly Gold Key and DC.

    Then in the back of the box is 4 TPBS. Grabbed 3

    Buffy The Vampire Slayeer Omnibus vol 1 Dark Horse
    Jimmy Olsen Adventures by Jack Kirby Vol 2
    Kingdom Come TPB

    Grabbed those and left
    Dark Knight Strikes Again TPB

    No prices on any of the TPBs. Ask them,get told to make an offer. "5 each so 15 total?" And they accepted

    It was cool to find some early Eric Powell art in one of the issues I grabbed though.
    Yea I will go up to cover price on the 15 or so I need to finish Razor and Razor Burn runs.

    Going for a full reading set. Screw getting all the variant covers.

    About to go cheap comic hunting in a bit. Doubt I find much pretty much picked the local spots clean.

    In all seriousness, I can't knock anyone for preferring Buscema, his style was rougher and tougher and suited the stories perfectly. I just like BWS' hyper-detailed, weirdly pretty stuff a lot.
