I had a great time at last Saturday's Grit City Comics Show, mostly due to the sheer entertainment of watching my nieces Karly and Kassie go on huge spending sprees (they spent around $170... each!). I didn't due too badly, though, thanks to my buddy Randy of Randy's Readers and his boothful of "everything for $1" (and to my last-minute discovery that I could add $50 to my con budget). Not only that but, thanks to the generosity of a friend of his, Randy was giving away 10 comics of your choosing with every purchase. So I ended up coming home with the following: ECLIPSECrossfire (1984) 2, 7-10, 19 (reeeeally been itching to reaquire this series) Crossfire and Rainbow (1986) 2-3 Cei-U! I summon the small triumphs!
I always considered Crossfire to be one of Eclipse's most underrated series of the era. Unique concept and fine storytelling by a great team, Evanier and Spiegle.
Unfortunately for lovers of the series, issue #12 will set you back a bit due to its Dave Stevens cover. Likewise with issue #4 of Crossfire and Rainbow.  The remainder of the series can usually be had for super cheap when you can find them. It might be okay but It's no Youngblood... |

Very true... there is no comparison.

Another small mail call today-won the Scooby Doo issue in last week's Lonestar Auction and grabbed a few filler issues to pad out the order and expand some runs...   -M |

Neither of these creators that you name ever sold 1 million copies of a book like Liefeld has done around a dozen times. Also, while Evanier has street cred as a writer for TV cartoons, he's never moved the needle in the comic field. |

Quantity ≠ Quality.
McDonald's has sold billions, but given the choice, I'll take a local hand-crafted burger every time.

Bought a run of a Last Gasp comic that I can't show due to its adult content but I'm glad I found it. Its hard to find first prints of the run for a reasonable price.
Still love the thrill of the hunt.
