This is the very rare 'Vampirella Special by Jose Gonzales' from 1977. It was the very first collected edition, 88 pages, approx 8.5 x 11 and in full-colour. Getting these above mid-grade is near impossible but my source had 2-3 in VF or better. I think my favourite Vamp story, Death's Dark Angel is included and worth the price I paid (well below the $150 tag...)
Congrats. The Warren special books, this and the Spirit, are getting super rare to find. I paid a little under $100 for mine but its worth it. Great find.

Here's something pretty cool and top shelf. This Rocketeer 3-D comic and audio tape to go along with the story. I love the Rocketeer 3-D glasses that come along with it.

Haven't read an X-title since Morrison's run. I tried Hickman but it was too Hickman-y for me to give a care.

I made a trade for this personal grail with a friend from a CGC group I belong to. So thrilled. I've seen this character for years, are there any actual stories inside? Haha. The first few arc, including the original series were really well done. It set up Meriem (Cavewoman) and what happened to her and the town she lives in. For a bit it meandered into meh-ville but its a fun stupid cheesecake dinosaur-filled book.

I have some Cavewoman books but if I post them I'll get reported Budd Root has some *risque* covers hehe.... Then they wouldn't be Budd Root covers, wouldn't they... -R

The Bat-Man: First Knight #1Written by Dan Jurgens Art by Mike Perkins Summary: With a slew of beastly murders on the rise Gotham's finest form an uneasy alliance with a masked vigilante. Plot: In this new mini-series Dan Jurgens gives us a modern day re-imagining of Batman's earliest stories...but it's more than just a "Batman's first encounter with villain x" kind of book it's instead literally taking things back to the start of Batman's publication history and setting the book in the 1930's. It's a novel concept and one Jurgen's executes with relish, delivering a tale that embraces both modern-day noir sensibilities but also the pulpy energy of the original period as well. What makes it truly entertaining is that it is story that focuses not only to contrasting who Batman was with the character we know now but also because it tells its own story with it's own unique blend of intrigue, action and horror. I thought playing with the Monster Men yet again would be a fools errand as there's no way it could get any better than Wagner's take, but Jurgens really defied my expectations and gave us something new while still feeling true to the concept's roots. In short it's a solid Batman story in its own right, and a much better read than the main Batman stories have been in a long time. Art: Perkins' art is truly sublime, he delivers not only fluid action but transports us readers to a world that feels real and lived in. Gotham is a living breathing place with character and dimension under Perkins' pen, you are entranced by the backgrounds and have an unshakable desire to look just beyond that corner over there and know what is happening down that street. It's a beautiful sight to behold and its atmosphere couples perfectly with Jurgens' character driven narrative. It all makes me wonder: If DC is capable of producing a book like this why aren't the main books this good? Grade:10/10 I've always been a fan of Mike Perkins' art since his CrossGen days. He's always been a fantastic draftsman. I like that he's using Gregory Peck as Bruce Wayne. Gordon's looking a bit Ceasar Romero. It's a really good book Recommended.
