    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

    Fucking amazed this never got banned in the UK. It's a work of art, but certain elements make me feel very uneasy.

    I dont even see the stuff you find in bargin bins on the walls at stores down here.

    Unless it has had a movie or tv show in the past 20 years it is all Big Two Stuff. And that lone Police Comics with a Plastic man cover that the owner wants too much for .
