I still have most every comic I’ve ever bought (about 16 boxes full) but the one trade I’m most upset about was trading X-Men #150 for GI Joe #21. Both are great issues, but they refer to Magneto sinking that Soviet sub every other issue! I want it back, Chris Bernard!

Not a whole lot. New Teen Titans #1 around $3-8 depending on condition. The Annuals, no biggies except Terra’s betrayal finale.

Camelot 3000 is on sale at Mile High… #1-11 for 80 cents a pop, regularly $4! #12 for $3 or so. Sets on Ebay are cheaper.

Vigilante is also on sale. And I see a full run on Ebay for around 50 cents per issue. Not even cover price.
