        It ended up being all that for free. I tried to give the friend that bought it all a 10 to cover what she paid ,plus a small finder's fee. But she refused to take anymoney.

            Nice score! Let us know what you think of Peacemaker. I read it decades ago and don't remember much about it, although it might have sucked.

              Yeah, it might suck, haven't read it yet, but the price was right.

              The three issue Peacemaker story in Vigilante is pretty decent though and Paul Kupperberg wrote both of them.

                He was better used in Vigilante. IIRC, in the mini it was revealed his dad was a Nazi and he had a lot of conversations with him.His daddy-o was dead BTW. That probably won't make it into the movie or the tv show.

                      Big fan of '70s Atlas Comics. Wish they'd hung in there longer.

                        Me too! Some great talent involved in those books and the characters were weird enough to be enjoyable.

                          Great thread. I need that 3-D Laser Eraser And Pressbutton to complete my Axel Pressbutton collection.
                          I've been bargain bin diving over the past few years and it's been great. It's such an affordable hobby, and you can catch up on cool stuff.
                          I've mostly been getting them from shows since there is no LCS, but recently, I've been driving 45 mins to a shop to dig through.
                          I haven't documented everything I've been picking up, but on the last trip I scored:

                          American Flagg #2, 4, 5, 6 - Chaykin
                          Captain Sternn (Kitchen Sink) #2
                          Cat Claw (Eternity) #5
                          Devil Jack #1 - Tim Tyler
                          Exquisite Corpse [green]
                          Geriatric Gangrene Jujitsu Gerbils #1
                          Sultry Teenage Super Foxes #1 (i was trying to collect anything TMNT rip-off-ish, but this is garbage)

                            Isn't that from Solson comics? Never seen a good book from them. They were worse than Blackthorne.

                              It is. Should I scratch Codename: Ninja and Ninjutsu off my wishlist? They are also both Solson Productions... but they have Ninjas.

                                Solson also did Reagan's Raiders, right?

                                I think they also did a how to draw TMNT book that I had when I was a kid (and, to be fair, which did legitimately help me learn how to draw Ninja Turtles).
