I can't find the issues to complete my 2001 Love and Rockets either not even on ebay uk - i just have 8 random issues. Is that volume two? I have an incomplete set as well, but haven't started looking for the final issues. Have you tried Lonestar and Milehigh? I didn't expect them to be difficult since the magazines haven't been. I've even been able to find a copy of the self published #1 |

Yeah, I've scoured at least 20 shops here in the Los Angeles County and I'm still looking.
Most stores these days who have back issues don't have the magazines, the undergrounds or a decent Silver Age stock. I'd like to finish my Undergrounds before re-tackling the Silver Age runs:
- Armageddon #3
- California Comix #2
- Quadrant 1,2,8
- Adventures of Olivia 2-5
- Anton Drekula
- Anton Drek sketchbook
Perhaps we can set up and create a Classic Comics Trading Post, where we can help each other with our back issue white whales?

There are quite a few comics that I'm always on the lookout for that I can never seem to find when digging through boxes at my LCS. Now logically I know I can find these comic books anytime on the internet and order them, but what would be the fun in that?  - Camelot 3000 #2 - #5, #10 and #12
- The Night Force #1, #2, #4 - #11, #14
- Quasar #17
- Detective Comics #604, #605, #607 and #653
- Spider-Man #8, #10 - #12 and #16
- The Punisher #77 - #79
- The Savage Dragon #30
- Cable #7 and #20
- Superman #9, #77 and #83
- The Avengers #368
- Black Panther #30
- Silver Surfer #93, #94 and #96
- WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams #5
- Superman: The Man of Steel #14, #20 and #21
- Marvel Comics Presents #63 - #95
- Deathblow/Wolverine #2
Are those Spider-Man issues from the McFarlane series? If so, I think I still have some of them and would be willing to send them to you. |

I've even been able to find a copy of the self published #1 it's always russian roulette buying from USA in UK as once in a while you get hit with crazy import charges so i prefer to order from UK the magazine seemed to sell zillions here so it's always easy to find - but by the time the second volume came out a big chunk of the audience had dropped off. there's probably only a couple of thousand issues of each issue floating around in uk just looking on lonestar they have most of the second series bar a couple. milehigh just have half of it. it's def worth a very good series tho - gilbert and mario push the boat out for a long story about a south american landlord, river pirates etc and there is nothing better than gilbert when he's in the mood for some epic story telling |

I wish they'd get a nice slipcase set like the EC books and the Mickey Mouse and all those other sets Fantagraphics seems to be doing these days

I don't want anything for them. If I have any of them, they are just taking up space in a box, as evidenced by the fact that I can't even remember if I own them or not.  |

I took part in the Comic exchange in Cbr, and I agree with RB. Give it away, but if you wanna pay the postage i'm okay with that.

My white whales are basically : Detective Comics #483 , #504 , #532 Batman Family #18 (I just need 18 to complete this run) Two of your issues contain some of the better Dennis O'Neil Batman stories (a body of work that I hold very dear, and that spans an impressive nearly forty years). I think you'll enjoy reading them when you get them. |

Been tryin' to find Brave and the Bold 51,53,55,56 and 59 at a comic shop for a while at a price I'm willing to pay. (IE: less'n 20 for 51, less than that for the others.) Also any issue of the ultra rare Richie Rich and... and Casper And... series.
