I bought all my Heavy Metal magazines at a Hallmark store in Lima. No problems. Trying to buy anything with mature readers in the corner at a comic shop during the same time, problems.
Great vid, guys! I’ve done a few deals and a bbq in that garage!
You don’t see many comic book vids on YouTube where the love of comic books is not only based on price. The enthusiasm is strong and I love it!

Toth did a lot of covers for Dragon Lady Press, miming various adventure comic strip artists. They also published is Bravo for Adventure. I had my first exposure to Roy Crane through them and they published a good amont of Crane stuff. If you run across there stuff it is usually worth picking up if the price is right.
I love when yins look at Heavy Metal
As a bin diving yonky, I find these types of videos very entertaining, so yeah, it would be nice if you did a second and a third part … or more! 😉
I was recently able to finish my collection of Byrne’s ALPHA FLIGHT after sooo many years of starting it; and if we are all adults here right?
Take a look at the adult stuff, damn it! 😀
How about Liberatore’s RANXEROX, the most PUNK comics that could be made in the 80’s !? Or take a look at the Cherry comics, during the first months of the pandemic I was able to get via the internet the issue where Octobriana comes out, so it would also be good material, like EROS comics and things like that …
Very entertaining and fun video!
READ MORE COMICS FOR ADULTS!
The comment about Michael T. Gilbert’s Mr. Monster owing a debt to Eisner’s Spirit is spot on. In fact, the Eisner influence is even more evident in the fan comic Gilbert did in the 1970s The Wraith, which is a kind of funny animal version of The Spirit. It’s been a bit forgotten but it’s definitely strong work which deserves a revival.
Dragon Lady was a comic store in Canada that put out strip reprints in the late 80s. I bought a bunch mailorder and they said the owner of the shop was a big fan of the strips and so he decided to start reprinting them. A lot of the production work was done by people who worked at the shop. They are printed magazine size and usually the strips are put on the side so you get more artwork on the page than if they were standard comic size. They are not connected to Blackhorne.
That highland graphics comic is super rare
Very small print run of those
Tools don’t matter, but health does. Take a break!
Love these shopping for comics vids!

This was another top chart-er episode fellas; it’s like I can smell the paper-fiber-nostalgia through the screen (a 42" telly, 3ft. away from my face as the desk monitor helps) sometimes I wanna lick the screen; instead I turn the lights down low.. hit pause when the time is right, bust out the masking tape and trace-pape; scratch out a crude reproduction that looks like it was done by an 8 year old in juvie, when he was 6. Then, later on that night I’ll take the Dorian’s Portrait and fineness out the angles and obliques until the subject reveals itself to me as an acceptable creation; to be hidden away so it may not shame its original creator or the ink itself. Only to be looked upon by the eyes of those with ink-stained cuffs on their sleeves, in the late night under the fuzz of incandescent light..
Anyway, right towards the end of the video my guy pull/ paused on a Heavy_Metal mag with Ran Xerox (comes to america, or sum such?); personally I’d love it if you all could do a deep dive into the Ranx-iverse. French I think, limited run sorta thing, graphic novel maybe; some ded-end game dev. projects slated for the pc.. that’s all I could digg up with a plastic shovel and a feint sense memory of a man made of Xerox photo-copy machine parts with a lollita girlfriend named Lubna(?) surviving the streets of a Neo-Tokio-esk France (BladeRunner through the lens of THX1138), lots of robot-guts, sexy Lubna(?) butt, and RanX, makin’ a face.
So yeah, maybe? please, when-ever you can fit it in, just puttin’ it out there..
Make More Comics, put some ink stains in your pockets.
If I were you guys, I would do the adult box in a separate video with a spicy title & thumbnail and watch climb to 100K views in no time 😉
I get my first copy of red room in the mail today. Can’t wait to check out the skillz. Thanks for the channel. It’s an incredible resource.
46.06 art by famous sci fi book cover artist Jim Burns. It’s from ‘Planet Story’ by Harry Harrison, illustrated by Jim Burns throughout
Holy shit! Ed has eyeballs!
I was happy when I saw Samuree in the collection… hope you cover it. Love Mark Beachum’s perverted artwork!
In case you were curious that 1 800 number still works.
cool video
Man that Innovation art. I avoided it as a kid because it all looked like some cake decorator went on a bender with an airbrush. Always a bummer when I’d go to a grocery store and there would only be Innovation, NOW & Continuity on the spinner racks.
I could watch a 10 hour video of you guys just going through long boxes and would never get bored! Please make more of these
Loved this. Thanks y’all
Fatty shout out to Alika Seki!! Runs a wicked shop and is super generous!! Kayfabe Elite!!
great episode!! Bring more guests out for Comic hauls!
the pain and pleasure I get from vicariously digging through boxes with you guys…
I love these type of adventure vids… couple savvy guests, and some great "on the fly" commentary featuring a wide array of the good, bad and ugly
What a blast! Diving for back issues in a back warehouse with comic shop owner buddies is my idea of heaven and every episode you produce like this brings me great joy (plus ideas for things to track down). Also fyi that Doll series is really well written/drawn and fun, regardless of the porn element.
My wallet hates these kind of videos.
Wonderful! Thank you 🙏
That’s all we need, another reason to move to Hawaii. I’m pretty sure that Gettysburg comic was illustrated by Harrisburg’s own Fred Ray, who created a lot of iconic wartime Superman covers and drew about a million Tomahawk comics.
I can smell the comic book pages from here
Best beach on the island, dolphin point by kehei. Not super touristy. White sand beaches like you want. And half the time a sea turtle will swim past you. Enjoy your vacay guys!

(Been there)
I’d really like to see more Eros mags in every comic shop’s bargain bins
THIS is what they talk about when they say that you can find books in the dollar bins. I’ve never been lucky enough to find books like this in a discount bin. Amazing books here.
Mr Monster looks awesome!
That Corben book is gorgeous.
Nice Pirates hat, Ed.
I got excited when I saw that Pocket Change comic show up and was hoping for more from them behind it. I did a comic for Bob Dixon back in the day! To have it show up here would have been awesome to see. Maybe next time 🙂
i can only imagine how much it would cost to move long boxes from NYC to Maui
