Ultimate Relegation of Ignored Backissues

An opportunity arose to rummage through the boxes under the back issues, boxes with comics marked 50¢. Nothing came in for either the US held Labor Day or the standing order didn't pull down anything for the week's release. A chance to check out just what fell out of the way.

Scores of Thundercats looking like they never even lasted a week on the regular stands as normal back issues. Should have waited until they hit these boxes instead of buying them and never getting around to reading them due to a convoluted stacking system and dental floss covering the dust. Previously expensive 411 prose pieces from Marvel that were given the boot because not a single person wanted to even pick them up. Just like Killeroo. Seemingly justly. Glances were given to The Maxx and Savage Dragon and a handful of other comics. Racked up only five dollars at the counter.

Biggest ever haul of comics for one week cost only about half the price of a regular two on any other week. Might not get a reading until 2004, if at all.
