Reviews
"This is 3.99?"
Yup. It's a steal.
"Doesn't that say $225.00 behind you?"
It does. That is a first print, a mid-upper grade copy, not even a NM copy. This book has the same contents, the original ads, columns, colors, covers, all on better paper. It also happens to be the single most important comic adaptation of a movie ever, is actually really good with great script to visual interpretations by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, and has deleted scenes IN THE BOOK!!
"I don't know...$3.99 seems a little pricey for something that was thirty cents 42 years ago."
"Hey, this guy behind the counter fell down or something. Does anybody know the number for 911?"
Kevin Healy 10 out of 10 GRAHAMS
