Hey. I thought free trade was a GOOD thing. What, nobody’s interested in these trade paperbacks? ---

Oh, don’t take that wish list so seriously. That’s just a guide in case someone says, “Hey, I have this AKIKO #3 trade I’d part with for Morrison’s X-MEN.” Or maybe you can just post wish lists of stuff you want. ---

I’d gladly give up a copy of Kyle Baker’s “Why I hate saturn” for any Grant Morrison trades, esp. the “Doom Patrol” ones. ---

**Lou.** I’m so very sorry I have no GI JOE issues, and I’m looking for that SIN CITY trade myself. Whatchoo want for those SIN CITY single issues (A DAME TO KILL FOR and A BIG FAT KILL-- not as a good as trades but they’ll do) and JLA-Z#1? **Freejooky.** Who says I own the Morrison Doom Patrol trades? Maybe I do, maybe I don’t. No deal. Already own “Why I Hate Saturn.” But we can still trade. What else ya got? ---

Whatchoo want for those SIN CITY single issues (A DAME TO KILL FOR and A BIG FAT KILL-- not as a good as trades but they’ll do) and JLA-Z#1? **Askia** , I went to the Orlando MegaCon yesterday with a slightly longer comic want list, but it was such a horribly-planned convention, I could not find a single damn back issue I was looking for. Dropped $20 for admission and I didn’t spend another BUCK on the inside. Anyway, I don’t suppose you have any of these books: Sandman Mystery Theatre #60 (and as a lesser priority, #53-56) Grendel: God and the Devil #1, 8, 10 Kid Eternity #3 (Grant Morrison) WildC.A.T.s (volume 1 by Image) #5-11 Wildcats (volume 2 by DC/Wildstorm) #14, 19-23, 26-28 Ex Machina TPB Dr. Mid-Nite TPB (Matt Wagner) ? Let me know if you have access to those and would trade for JLA-Z #1, but if not, I’d probably just mail it to ya for free. (I just have that issue in a particular box of comics at my parents’ house, and I won’t be able to go back to get it until mid-March. They live 4 1/2 hours away.) As for my Sin City singles, I’m probably going to try to be greedy and sell them on eBay so they close on the Sunday night of the movie’s opening weekend. I’ve done that selling gambit before, with my Kevin Smith Daredevil run and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen miniseries, and made a ton of money while people were still excited about the respective movies. ---

**Big Bad Voodoo Lou.** Nope, sorry. The only WildCATS I own are Alan Moore’s run, which I aine never letting go of-- and I was waiting for EX-MACHINA to get at least two more trades in before I bought any and DR. MIDNITE tpb is very. very good-- read it at the library last year-- but never bought my own copy. You can order it [here](http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=602944) at a decent price, tho. You’re a magnificent bastard for hitting eBay with those SIN CITY singles and I think people will make a killing off selling those and I hate you only a little right now. I’ll still want that JLA-Z#1 but at least let me send you half cover price. Hope somebody posts with what you want. **Selkie:** You’re in better luck. How’s both my GLOBAL FREQUENCY trades for HOUSE OF SECRETS, HELLBLAZER: SON OF MAN and STARMAN: SINS OF THE FATHER? ---

**Askia** , if you don’t have mail from me already, drop me a note. Your e-mail provider and mine don’t always get along. More for my “Wanted” list: **Blacksad** (book 1) **Hellblazer: Rake at the Gates of Hell** (I have this in singles if anyone wants them) **Hellblazer: Haunted** (ditto) **Hellblazer: Setting Sun** (ditto) ---

I have the two TPBs, and I love them too. Did you read any of volumes 2 and 3.0 by Joe Casey? It’s one of my favorite runs on any comic ever. But I love the Wildcats, and I even collect the mid-'90s action figures. (Now if I could only find damn Majestic…) ---

Oh, other comics I’d happily accept in trade: Hellboy: Conqueror Worm #3-4 DC Direct action figures: The Shade, The Question Reservoir Dogs action figures (not the 12" dolls): Mr. Brown
