And more comics...
Here's something interesting: an inside look at the creation of Image Comics.
I found this article pretty interesting as I remember getting into the comics bandwagon again during my high school days-- after a long hiatus-- because of the rise of Image. Prior to that, I usually collected Marvel/ DC titles in grade school.
Particularly, I remember checking out Filbars in Katipunan almost every week just to see the latest output by McFarlane, Liefeld, Lee, et al. Of course, this was a frustrating affair considering the fact that some of these guys couldn't get out their titles on time if their life depended on it. I also figured that I wouldn't keep up with all the stuff coming out so I limited myself to the first limited series of their titles (WildCATS, Youngblood, Dragon, Cyberforce, etc.)
However, one good memory I had was finding a good copy of McFarlane's Spawn first issue in that 2nd copy comic book shop in Manila Bank Arcade in Greenhills. (I'm sure Ryan knows this one.) And considering it was only for P150 bucks, I wonder how much that costs nowadays.
Just remembering...

Speaking of comics, anyone read "WANTED"?
I think Spawn 1 can fetch you 8 dollars daw, near mint.
Anonymous: What's WANTED? And who're you? Put a tag name please...
Jay: Eight bucks? That's not so bad. Though Ryan has my copy ever since I sold my collection to him. (How're your comics eh, Ryan?)

comics that aren't currently on the shelves actually sell for US$0.10 to 0.50 here in the US, and the Image stuff of the early 90s is all over the place. The only comics of value to dealers and collectors are pre-1970. i've been buying people's collections here for a fraction of what it would've cost me had i been buying it all this time. to date, i now have numerous duplicates and a lot of them are image. i can actually give you back your comics joey, for FREEEEEEEEEE
Hahaha! Seems like that time sa Whistlestop was so long ago, buddy. ;-)
