List of Comics For Sale

Well, as of writing, many of the comics I was offering for sale are now spoken for, but there are still a few good ones left over that I'm offering. These are books that are going on ebay (at quoted prices), but which I'm willing to part with before then if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse...

In no particular order, they are:

Aria #s 1-4. Price: P500

(For the uninitiated, Aria is basically the story of Kildare, a thousand-year-old daughter of the Faerie, a race of immortals that traces their history to the beginning of time or something like that, and is based in England. It's basically a fantasy comic set in contemporary times, with a really, really hot (thanks to ultra-detailed Filipino penciler Jay Anacleto) girl as the lead character.Think Sandman but with boobs. Big ones).

Aria/Angela #s 1 and 2. Price: P200

Kildare of Aria teams up with Angela (from the pages of Spawn) to take down a mystical charlatan terrorizing England, or something like that.

Death: The Time of Your Life #s 1 to 3 (with a bonus: the last issue of Death: The High Cost of Living). Price: P450

This is a complete miniseries (except for the bonus issue) and a sequel to High Cost of Living. It features Neil Gaiman's signature gothette in a rather touching story rendered by artists Chris Bachalo and Mark Buckingham.

Batman #s 608, 610, 612-619. (Individual issues priced differently depending on which character guest stars).

Completists may balk at my calling this the Hush storyline since I'm missing two issues, so I'm offering these as individual items (unless someone makes me an offer for all of them I can't refuse). Anyway, complete or not, these issues boast some of Jim Lee's best artwork. EVER. As always, writer Jeph Loeb panders to his artist (and the artist's legion of fans) by having Lee draw most of Batman's rogues gallery. Veeery nice.

Wolverine: Enemy of the State (issues #20-25). Price: P1000.

This is a complete six-issue set. It's Marvel's premier badass at his most brutal! With a story by Marvel wunderkind Mark Millar and mainstay John Romita Jr. Basically Wolverine gets possessed by the Hand and takes on S.H.I.E.L.D. and several high profile Marvel heroes, including his very own team, the X-Men. Blood and guts galore.

Astonishing X-Men #s 1 to 12. Price: P3000

In #12 issues writer Joss Whedon revitalizes Marvel's merry mutants (and one in particular) with two six-issue arcs lavishly drawn by John Cassaday (Planetary).

X-Men #s 1 to 7. Price: P1000.

Yes, that X-Men, the one by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, featuring the first issue that sold 7 million copies. Very nice art.

Uncanny X-Men #s 284, 285 and 286. Price: P300

Three issues by Jim Lee (plot and some art) and Whilce Portacio (most of the art chores), scripted by John Byrne and Scott Lobdell. More or less a complete storyline.

Heroes Reborn: Iron Man #s 1-3 by Whilce Portacio Price: P400.

Pretty good, and with a movie on the horizon, these may even go up in value.

Spawns #8 and #9 Price: P300.

This was the time that Todd McFarlane had different writers take turns scripting the book. Issue #8 is by Alan Moore and issue #9, which features the first appearance of Angela, is by Neil Gaiman.

Wildcats #1s, 3, 4, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 36. (Bonus: Savage Dragon #12 by Jim Lee) Price: P600

Some nice Jim Lee art, and...

Wildcats #1-3 featuring VERY good art by Travis Charest. Price: P480.



I may add some more titles once I've put up my eBay store, and those wanting pictures will have to wait till I do. In case anyone's already interested I can meet up at Robinson's Galleria or SM Megamall or Shangri-La, after office hours of course, and with a whole days' advance notice. Cash on delivery, please; I won't ship to any provinces because I can't guarantee the condition of the comics if I do.
