Maichan's WANTED - Looking for Some Books List (non-Usagi, not-Sakai)

Post by maichan »

Hello gang!

I've been trying to fill some gaps in my comic book collection, and have been able to do much of that with the aid of the MyComicShop "My Want List" feature, however there are still some books that elude me. Maybe someone here can help, either with books from their own collection, of from their local comic shop.

Please take a look and let me know if you can help.

I'm looking for very good to fine copies at or near retail price.

That would be great Maka. Of course this is one of those titles I had at one time, but I let go during my big purge many years ago.

Now for some more Mignola stuff....

I've been collecting Hellboy, and most of the spinoff's (especially BPRD) since the beginning of time.
Somehow I missed this issue when it came out, and now it seems it's a tad bit HTF.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1956 (2019 Dark Horse) #3

Then there is this one, another big "oof! Did I err?" Had it, out with purge. The guy I gave all my books to might still have it, but hasn't looked for it yet...

Next Men (1992) John Byrne's #21
Image

Witcher Omnibus TPB (2019 Dark Horse)
any edition/printing
Image

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser TPB (2007 Dark Horse) Fritz Leiber's #1-REP

Only a few more to come, after a break....

I've been meaning to post more wants, but have been dealing with plumbing issues at home (a slab leak which meant a total repipe of the house, which meant drywall work also), which resulted in missing a few work days and having limited pc access. Plumbing is done, and drywall repair is today's job. Doing the DojoBoard from phone isn't so easy for this old guy, but hopefully regular transmission will resume next week. 😄

Dear Maichan,

Plumbing issues are a nightmare. Sorry that happened. Look forward to seeing what else we can get to you. :D

Peace, maka

I do actually have the HC of Witcher, but for completeness I would also like a copy of the TPB. Silly me. :roll: :lol:

Plumbing is fixed, and we now have cold water that is hot. :lol:
