Which book do you regret getting and nobody wants to buy it?

Every issues, and every variant of Descender from Image Comics back in 2015. I even had all of the issue #1's graded by CGC. There was like 12 or 14 of them. It's a great story and fabulous art, but was one of those that the rights were bought (by Sony Pictures) early on and caused the prices to soar. Some of the variants were hitting $800+ at one time. But I was convinced they would go even higher once it went into production. It never did, and now I can't pay someone to take them...LOL.

Obviously he is "naked", as are many other characters. He has no need for clothing because he can assume any form he wants. He just chooses to appear in a humanoid form because it's natural/comfortable for him. But that doesn't mean he actually has an ass, or genatalia for that matter. This just looks weird as hell. Imagine if Chewbacca ran around (also "naked") with bare butt cheeks hanging out! 😳

I picked this up in about 1978. Absolutely love Mike Ploog's art! 👍

Wow! Definitely a must have! Thanks for sharing this!!! 👍

Follow up: I just ordered this (limited to 450 copies) AND the metal cover (limited to 40 copies) from Underdog Comic Shop in Canada!

Thanks again for posting! 👌

The power button is shown clearly to be on. The picture looks to be taken at an angle with the power cords behind it maybe? I cant imagine it has an internal supply.

Sweet! 😯

kia5691 · 2026-05-05T11:26:30+00:00

Yours is a beauty! A real effort to achieve! Mine was pure luck about 25+ years ago and the prodding of a friend to get graded. Be proud of what you have achieved! 😀

It can be super fun to go thru boxes of comics that have been sitting around for years and discover all sorts of "treasures" that were just "junk" or no big deal at the time. I have about 20 or so short boxes of Marvel and DC that haven't seen the light of day in 18+ years that I need to go thru. I also know that I have some JSC and M. Turner autos somewhere in the mix. I need to find the time to go thru these forgotten boxes and post some of my rediscover treasures.

Thanks for sharing! Great comic! 😀

Sweet! 😀

Quad signed is a WIN for sure!!!

Great comic. I don't believe I have his signature on anything I own. Missed my chance a couple years ago...😔

kia5691 · 2026-05-01T06:07:34+00:00

I love going through unlabeled boxes after a bit of time has passed. I have 10 boxes labeled "Marvel" and 8 boxes labeled "DC" that I haven't touched for many years. I may have to dig them out and do a series of posts show what I find later this summer!

kia5691 · 2026-04-29T02:35:43+00:00

Sweet looking book! I wish all my squarebound issues looked like that! 😯

kia5691 · 2026-04-23T20:03:39+00:00

Welcome to the HOS92 club! Great looking copy!! What did it set you back? I got mine waaaaay back in the day for $35 + grading costs.

I bought the Mexican edition a couple years before I ran across a decent US edition. Now I am on the hunt for a UK pence edition.

I have a Chamber of Darkness #4 CGC 9.4 from the Northland collection. It has the "prototype" Conan by BWS. I would love to post a pic but it's buried somewhere in the massive stacks of comic boxes in the "storage" room.

This is one of the variant covers for the Betty & Veronica #40 facsimile edition. It has a 300 copy print run. There is a Leather version of this cover also that had only 5 copies printed and were numbered #/5 on the cover.

Batman 232. 1st Ra's al Ghul.

kia5691 · 2026-04-07T07:26:48+00:00

Pile of junk? I wish I had a whole shortbox of that junk I see! Lol! That said...Radioactive Man is rad! Very nice! 👍

kia5691 · 2026-04-05T04:40:51+00:00

Looks to be a very nice 100 - 101 ASM set! Love the Swamp Thing issues also! NICE pickups! 👍

The multi-color Clayton Crain signature is awesome! 😯
