I Randomly Found a Car Full of Comic Books Outside an Antique Shop!

[@Dieselcity]

Newsstand spawn has solid value! Awesome $1 grab!

[@DarkseidComicsofficial]

was going to say that

[@BrokeBoyComics]

Great haul! Lots of 90’s goodness in there! Great story with your son and the magic cards!

[@MJComix]

The spawn 1 in newsie as well! 🤯

[@raph-retro-comics]

Tons of great stuff there! Favorite by a mile is that Creepy Things Charlton book. Great cover, and very tough to find in nice shape, even if it's not worth much!

[@basementcomics4u]

9.8 GI Joe 150 is very expensive, I don’t know if you noticed its a newsstand. That book is rare as hell. Probably $1000 or more in 9.8, even more with the sig

[@SteveFowlerFamily6]

Larry Hama is usually very accessible for signatures. Him being from New York, he'll probably be at a nearby show.

[@Supersizeshake]

I’m the one who brought up the late run G.I. Joe comic in the previous episode. That’s pretty cool you remembered the comments and kept an eye out for them.

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@Supersizeshake yes thank you, several people brought it up and I’m always very appreciative

[@felix-ve8jk]

Thoe 1xx Joe covers are really some of the best of the whole run.

[@shawnleonard3429]

That spawn 1 is a newsstand nice find

[@Spirit_Comics]

You went right by that Marvel Premiere #55, bro!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@Spirit_Comics doh, can’t catch em all!

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Cool print find on that late-era G I Joe!!Nice detective work...!!

[@kristopherparker6871]

I agree with the cooment above about the spawn 1 newsstand. Def a great book to add to your trade pile.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Mike, vERY Interesting haul...!

[@billjackson-mk7fw]

Awesome your son got a great deal …the smile alone is worth it!

[@Moncomics]

Great to see you in my backyard and finding comics at that. Howe Caverns is so cool and Cooperstown is just beautiful this time of year. Nice little stack of vacation pickups. I like that “dubious” Hellboy cameo and I think I want it now lol. Well done my friend

[@TheGlock8]

$13 into 13 books is an amazing deal. Any dollar book depending on the condition is definitely worth the read and the appreciation of the art. Found a wolverine single issue called the man in the pit. By Jason Aaron. That’s amazing read!!!

[@bobtrottier8178]

Walt's THOR runs been falling in my lap a lot lately, and I'm not complaining!! I just bought 90% of a guys collection last night and low and behold....THOR;!

[@detective29]

I'm Very happy for your son. Great pick up for him. You got a great deal on the books you picked up. Good cheap reading!

[@davelevich3583]

That Spawn 1 is a Newstand! Great find!

[@Benji-ky2or]

Newsstand spawn is scarce congrats! Huge dollar pick up

[@scottsimon615]

Fantastic pickups, Mike! Howe Caverns is a great place too. Hope you had your jackets…

[@dephiance]

I love that X-Men TPB! My mom bought that for me when when it came out (back in '84, if I remember correctly) and I read it to death! The pages literally fell out. I don't know why I've never bothered to track down another copy! Great video!

[@Matt_Likes_Comics]

You guys in America have so many places to go. We have so few places that are comic stores or flea markets in Canada.

[@gerardmensoif3774]

Europe is the worst regarding US comics....

[@njmdromanah122]

And then there's Asia where you can hardly find big key issues, But if you get lucky you find a low grade grail

[@thrashleyb7594]

That’s awesome that Jack found a good deal when I was playing magic I would give away quite a few cards just to get younger players to play. I think I got half of my sons friends to play magic when they was in high school.

[@chrismeder2376]

Great find on the Spawn 1 newsstand. Met Larry Hama a few years ago, really nice guy. Bought a Daredevil sketch from him.

[@Scott.B.Chapin]

Nice finds! I think that X-Men trade was the first published collection of the Dark Phoenix Saga

[@jtoves5734]

Hafa adai Mike! Great find of that Uncanny X-men Dark Phoenix Run! I have the same TPB in my PC. John Byrne is my All-Time Favorite Artist and Writer! “Enjoy The Chase!” IslandJ

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Amazed that SPAWN 1 and 2 were in $1 box...!

[@stevedriskell59]

In regards to the GI Joe book that was signed. If you got it for a dollar? Then if the signature increases the value, wonderful, but if it decreases the value your dollar book could be worth $0.50. All in all you got at least 10 bucks worth of story out of it. Lol

[@AucheysAdventures]

I got Batman 201 from a old antique store/junk store when we went camping I guess you could say that was a similar experience and could be considered strange and unusual

[@obi_tom_kenobi]

Spawn #1 newsstand is a crazy find for a dollar

[@salmack8842]

Great selection of books Mike. I have Sleepwalker,Spawn,Superman in my collection.

[@maverick7291]

The only 90s new super heroes character i never bought for their first app/issue was slapstick.

[@jamesfoley2413]

Mike, you broke my heart today.... Yo Joe. I have every one.

[@AdamHoutman-qj7fy]

GI Joe 150 is also a newsstand. That ups the value too. I think the autograph hurts it tho.

[@AucheysAdventures]

I need to go out hunting more often…you’re giving me a little bit of hope! Lol

[@calebleland8390]

That's so cool that Lil Lunch Money got such an awesome deal on those cards. He should be telling his friends to hunt for cards in Strange and unusual places. 😂😂 Pretty great haul, Mike. You can't go wrong with some classic Charlton horror books, and to find one with Mike Zeck artwork is fantastic.

[@wolverado1322]

Nice comic finds and great story about your kiddo getting a deal on those cards. You often use the word serendipitous, however, you have an active part in that by being out and about hunting for comics. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

[@glennlittle124]

Great dollar finds!! So happy for your son to get such a deal. I use to play Magic with my son all the time when he was still in school. Will definitely check out that flea market next time I am in that area. I think there's an outdoor one close by also during the warmer months.

[@amazingmurfinator6338]

Xmen 1 has a preview of onega red too. At least the gate fold cover. Not sure if that book predates #1

[@jplosky]

that Spawn 1 is a newsstand, worth much more than the direct edition! Huge pick up for a buck!

[@bobtrottier8178]

Found a bunch of my old stuff recently. AMAZING HEROES by the pile as well as THE COMIC READER and COMIC INTERVIEWS

[@comicscrypt3438]

That's a Spawn #1 Newsstand! That's an awesome $1 pick up!!

[@shepherdsknoll]

Sold a newsstand 9.8 couple of years ago for $1100, kind of wish I still had it but it was a good price.

[@jamesdunn5842]

I go pretty consistently to that market for comics 😂 place is alot of fun

[@colossuscollector]

Oh man I gotta get the amazing heroes fanzine! The Omega Red part is awesome but it’s also a CIGAR cover! 🔥 thanks for showing me this Mike!

[@Rhavas]

Love these places - my family roll their eyes when they see me find these as they know I can't help myself. GI Joe Special Missions and GI Joe might be the first books I ever bought. If I was trying to put that run together, I wouldn't hold it against it as long as the sig was from someone who worked on the book.

[@g-fandad7749]

GIJOE issue 126 was my first comic I ever bought and the series ever completed. Thanks for giving the series some luv

[@ManhattanFlashComics]

What a cool sale to randomly find, and lots of great grabs here! thanks for sharing the video!

[@donaldmiller9648]

Even though I had all the X-Men at that time, I picked up that X-Men gradebook back when published because covered an interesting period of characters. Don't have the issues now but have the tradebook. Remember sitting down and enjoying reading stories again back then...

[@PackRipperJohnni]

That GI Joe is a newsstand which makes it even more scarce 👍

[@littlemountaingardener1477]

Awesome finds, I also just picked up the same "Creepy Things" issue. There is something about that cover that got me too.

[@greekhokie]

That spawn 1 is a newsstand you might want to get it cleaned pressed and graded because the newsstand is not common at all like the direct edition.

[@Renegaderantscomics]

I'm glad you got to see upstate ny in its fall glory. Great pickups. Congrats on your win.

[@andreworr4307]

Not money wise but I really like the Charlton horror book,like all the books though and for a buck each that's great

[@dansxmencomics]

What a fun time for not just you, but the whole family!

[@numberoneappgames]

A signed book will always have value! especially if it's sentimental!

[@the4deadlyvenoms]

You found a NEWSSTAND of Spawn #1 for $1!!! Easily a $100 book! WOW! Salute!!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@the4deadlyvenoms yes, I neglected to mention that in the video, I didn’t realize the premium was THAT much higher over direct

[@sircollectalot]

Why would you spoil the video with this comment! 😂

[@maverick7291]

Great factoids about helloboy and next men. Also great haul!

[@bethanduke2566]

I was watching a channel called comic den, today video was about a comic community event, he also has a much older friend that has something more established . I think you would enjoy going to their style events but figure it's far away. 😊

[@dbulls33]

Wow! Neat pick ups Mike! Especially Spawn, Marvel Age and the GI Joe's and all for a bick each! Sounfs like a good vendor!

[@maverick7291]

Im a sucker for yellow covers. I blame daredevil.

[@rftaitague]

Always love watching what you find out there. Congrats. Rudy from SanDiego

[@drspidey4739]

Man lots of cool books for $1. Yes, Marvel Premiere #55 for a buck as someone previously mentioned caught my eye. Everyone has different things that their eye catch. Discount from $70 to $1 for all the cards? Sweet deal for your son.

[@Heroes_for_Hire_Comic_Club]

Spawn 1 newstand nice I need those gijoe comics lol gi joe comics are what got me into comics

[@billyrod1980]

I also recently picked up sleepwalker 1 for a buck. The Spawn book you got is also a newsstand so it has a little more value.

[@pablovargas8084]

I started reading the uncanny x men a bit ago, mainly because you always talk about how incredible it is. I just finished reading days of future past and it blew me away. Also dark phoenix saga was amazing, but the mutant x story plot is what amazed me the most. I have never heard anyone talk about it so when I read it I was incredibly surprise by it(it is my second favorite x men story so far, right behind days of future past). I want to read more x men stories, so besides uncanny xmen, what stories do you guys recommend?

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@pablovargas8084 definitely read God Loves Man Kills if you haven’t already

[@lanceowings9421]

[@MT-zd2qj]

Great story about the gentleman and your son.

[@Comiccomplter55]

[@bradforddillman7671]

[@BrianLCS]

Lots to do in Upstate NY. Sleepy Hollow at Halloween is fun. Great pick ups!

@@BrianLCS we talked about going to Sleepy Hollow too but it was a bit further away. Instead we listened to the audio book recording on the way back!

[@BrianLCS]

@@lunchmoneycomics Awesome.

[@DoughnutJunkie]

That was. Awesome end story with your son.

[@leeknoll8141]

When I’m completing a run, I don’t want a signed book, but you can’t beat $1!

[@maverick7291]

Funny i only knew about gi joe cartoons but not the comics only later. Found out many kids around me at the time were more into the comics than the cartoon but qe both collected the toys. Sorry about creatimg multiple comments. Felt that each topic tou mentioned deserved it own seperate comment lol.

[@jcali2121]

Spawn 1 newsstand for a dollar!?! I’m jealous!!!

[@lcancelliere1]

Where was the flea market?

[@jayogilvie8353]

Yo' Joe !!

[@maverick7291]

X-men #1 special edition by jim has omega red sketch art inside in the back. I'm thinking that might be the one that technically makes it omega reds first cameo appearance. But it's all about popularity and concenus(of sorts) that makes something a first app or cameo app. Still cool comic you got!

[@batmanbill1]

Another score!✌🏼

[@jesselynch1928]

Body language. lol Yeah I have seen that. At an estate sale a guy was kneeling in front of 4 boxes of records. I started to bend down to. look at one of the boxes. He saw me and then hugged all 4 boxes not letting me in. I said to him. Really? And he growled at me. I moved on and went back later.

[@the-third-kingdom-channel]

Nice!

[@DarkseidComicsofficial]

That Joe 150 is a newsstand and they sell for 60+

[@Trdjff9342]

I think the notion that a signature from anyone who worked on a book could reduce the value is insane. Purist or not, I feel that if one can't appreciate the added value a signature from someone who worked directly on the book provides, they can't really be that much of a comic fan.

[@EddieFromTheBatcave]

The trade is sweet

[@StillOnly25c]

Damn those Thor and Superman 😮

[@jon6309]

Sleepwalker reminders me of the Duros from Star Wars!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@jon6309 I can totally see that. A bit neimoidian too

[@jon6309]

@ ahh yes, I’m guessing you are a Star Wars fan knowing that species. I believe both Duros and Neimoidians are related and are offshoot species from one another. I would say it’s kind of like comparing a British person to an Australian.

[@comicdonivan7198]

U had a newstand spawn 1

[@MrFieval519]

Nice grab of Spawn and cool Thindercats shirt. Where did you get it? Good video

What if #33 has an Omega Red cameo, but it’s from Jan 92, so yes if that magazine is from 91 that might be his actual 1st appearance

[@thomasermmarino6788]

[@feridradoncic2237]

Today is srecko susic's birthday 🎉🎂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@dakoitcave817]

Did Mike Mignola confirm that Next Men was indeed his character? Or was it just a crazy coincidence that a character drawn by Byrne and named HellBoy was the same character as Mignola intended?

[@MrGenyaAvacado]

The reason I know what a somnambulist is, is because of Sleepwalker.

[@charliedogg7683]

The guy before you made it clear with his body language that he wasn't letting you go through the boxes ahead of him? Try a polite "Excuse me" and if that doesn't work then start looking over his shoulder or go through the comics yourself that he has just been through. His sense of entitlement needs to be knocked down a few notches. Charlton's supernatural anthologies from the mid-70s are fun and it's always interesting to see the early work of artists who became popular later in their career. An obscured poster in the background of a panel does not rate as a character's first appearance for me: the character has to be doing something, interacting with other characters in some way and preferably one of them should mention that character's name. Amazing Heroes wasn't a fanzine, it was a professional magazine published by Fantagraphics Books and aimed at those for whom comics were a hobby, as opposed to Fantagraphics' The Comics Journal which is more a critically analytical publication. The X-Men trade would make a great addition to anyone's collection.

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

We want more of the actual digging. You cut out too much.

[@_vixen_4504]

Really, you are not a GI Joe Fan. I didn't grow up with the cartoon, however, when it comes to the best action figures on the market then GI Joe was the stuff. They could move every which way while having multiple cool weapons and vehicles. That is something i valued as figures such as the star wars figures had such limited movement which made it hard to actually play with them as they could not hold a weapon with two hands.

[@jy2486]

Spawn #1 for usd4,wow
