Matt Young Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 I think I made a horrible mistake. You see, after watching X2 at Christmas time, I became interested in comics again. I collected comics up until about 9-10 years ago (94-95) and had a decent collection. I just didn't know if I still had that collection or where it was located if I did. About 2 weeks ago, before I moved out to Cali, I was at K-Mart in Springfield, Illinois. I was checking out the magazines, and I saw something unusual. Despite not selling comics for years, they had a boxed set of the white embossed Superman wedding issue along with 2-3 other comics that were presumably a part of the same story arc. It cost $10. having only a 10 spot in my possession and seeing as how I wanted to purchase the Michelle Branch issue of Maxim, I passed it up. Actually, I honestly was pretty sure I owned the wedding issue already, and I also didn't want to waste $10 when I didn't even know if I'd still enjoy comics in the first place. This past Saturday night, I finally found a box of my old comics. It wasn't my entire collection, but I was still overjoyed to find somewhere between 100-200 books, which were about 99% X-books with some Batman and other random stuff sprinkled in there. However, there was no Superman. After looking through some of those books, I realize that I still love comics and want to get back into them for sure. However, I missed my chance at that very special issue/boxed set of Superman. I'm hoping that the book(s) isn't/aren't too rare or valuable, because I'd really like to own the wedding issue at least, but my heart's telling me I likely passed up an unbeatable deal. I'm praying that someone tells me that I'm wrong in that assumption.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 Ahem... I would like to say this.....
starvenger Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 If you find a local comicon and search through the cheap bins you'll probably find the issues for less than $10...
thuganomics Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 I'm guessing you can find most issues from that era of Superman in the 25 cent bin at comicons... As to the wedding issue, it sold for $6 and if you pay more than that for it, you were ripped off. It was overprinted, overly boring, and rather pointlessly long. Oh, and absolutely action free! As I recall, I kept mine solely for the wedding dress designs by every major Superman artist from the reboot on...
