All available issues, which in this case must mean all the issues the seller has available.

Technically nothing wrong with it, but could have been worded in a far less confusing / potentially misleading way.

Yes, you'll often get listings like "Warrior #2-23 (18 issues)" which can be confusing but is just shorthand.

As the seller is Quality Comics when they say available I must assume that is all that is available from them, the original publisher (or a later incarnation of them or some such). I know I have bought Warriors off them in the past to fill in gaps and so I must assume they have a supply of them.

£65 is not outrageous as they seem to go for £3-4 an issue but if you lurked long enough I'd imagine you could scoop up someone's complete run cheaper than that.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

That's what I'm hoping for...65 for 18 issues seems a bit much, especially after securing most of my 2000AD collection for 3 pr 4 progs per 1 pound. That, and I've decided hunting down Star Lord is my top priority  :P.

Well I still have a  couple of later issues to pick up so I do check out the listings - if I see anything tasty I'll give you a nudge (hmmm that doesn't sound right).

Ooh nudge away Emps (it may not SOUND right, but it is oh so right).

I'd pay 60 pounds easy for the Star Lord issues, as Johnny Alpha is my favorite comics character. But I've never read an issue of Warrior, so without so much as having a flip through a single issue, I might be setting myself up for a big disappointment.


Plus I should not buy anything so close to Hi-Ex! ....

Well then brace yourself for a good nudging, just not today.

Doubtful - you'd not be disappointed if you dropped £100 for the lot, it is very good.

100 pounds doesn't seem so bad for Star Lord - course I REALLY want that series. I've added Warrior to the British comics I need to secure over the next few years before I return to the States. Knocking out a complete collection of the prog has been no big deal, so the scarcity of some of these other titles is a bit annoying  :D.

I plan to be an incredible comics snob - not only do I possess an impressive collection of 80's American b&w and small press titles, I'll own all kinds of "mysterious" British comics. I'll be the guy the other nerds at the comics shop hate.

Another small press title you NEED to have in your collection is the collected Bulldog, which by sheer coincidence, publisher Jason Cobley is selling on his blog at half price at the minute

http://rpc.blogrolling.com/redirect.php?r=bb7c68b5b2ad40195903f6de975fc17a&url=http%3A%2F%2Fjasoncobley.blogspot.com%2F

It's the comic that inspired me to get involved in the small press and includes work by Stephen Prestwood (current Ganesh artist), and some chaps called PJ Holden, Jim Campbell, Chris Askham (whoever they are) and a host of others.

Only a fiver for the book! Tell him I sent you!
ISSUE 9 out now!!  Buy a copy at http://paragoncomic.blogspot.com/

And yet reffers to "All 18 issues".

Crazy!


No, all 18 issues that are in the auction, simple really.

Well, yes, but to me the words “all available issues” translated as all issues that exist. Pardon me for making such a simple mistake as reading the words as they are written.
