Collecting all comics from Jan 1980 to Dec 1989 is a monumental task. Good luck because you are going to need it.
What would you say if I told you the Marvel was complete, and I'm a couple of books from a complete DC as well...?
Plus all of Eclipse, Paciic, First, Mirage, Eternity, Aircel, Caliber, and Epic?
Wow. I couldn't even fathom the number of comics that would be. Kudos to you because I know that must have taken a decade or more to a mass such a collection.
Moebius 1/2, published by Graphitti Designs in the late 80s is a pretty tough book. I've seen two copies come up on eBay over several years, and there's currently one $100+ copy for sale on Amazon.
(The "1/2" is a play on the numbering of the Marvel/Epic/Dark Horse series of Moebius graphic novels published in the late 80s/early 90s. Epic published #1-9, Dark Horse published #0.)
Although not as rare as the comics being talked about here, the Marvel/Epic Moebius series has a few other tough books.
Moebius 7 Moebius 9 Blueberry 5 End of the Trail Lt. Blueberry the Iron Horse Lt. Blueberry Steel Fingers Lt. Blueberry General Golden Mane Marshall Blueberry: the Lost Dutchman's Mine
Some of the Marvel Conan GNs were hard to find, but I haven't gone looking for them in a while.

Since 1990.
(I'm actually missing a few oddballs from each company. Comico is pretty full except Robotech, but I'm missing large swaths of Blackthorne [though they didn't publish much.] I have nearly zero Archies, which is going to be the really tough set to build. But yearh, Marvel & DC are both within about 100 books of being complete.)

how complete for the marvel & dc? does it include all the CANADIAN PRICE VARIANTS????? there are a few dc variants that are not known to most people even the variant collectors. i'll share those later.
good luck on the archies and charltons. i might be able to help you with a few charltons and some of the superhero archies but other than that the best guy for that kind of stuff is doug at comic world. i wouldnt want to try to complete those companies, i dont plan on living that long.
its not the best inked kirby job. it's weird cause buckler has been accused of being a kirby rip off and it didnt really work to well. i'm not sure why he didnt use michael thibodeaux which was his inker at the time. i would have loved it if mike royer had inked it. to me he was kirby's best inker.
the more i look at the cover it looks like the shield has been drawn by someone else. anyone else notice that or am i seeing things.
I wanted to congratulate our own Tom (topnotchman) for what should be a nice score after the dust is settled and he's sold this little gem.
Any guesses to the final price? I'd say it should break $500, however, I just about crapped my pants when I first saw the listing last night. I rumaged through the longbox of stuff I picked up at Earl Shaw's booth, only to find I did score a copy of this book, although I doubt its any better then 9.2/9.4.

Copper age books are doing just fine, thank you.
How appropriate that a bunch of cash is on the cover.
