Not that this is going to affect anyone else here, but I am so elated right now. The last comic I needed to complete my collection of Buffy and Angel comics came in today: Willow and Tara's Wannablessedbe! I now have the complete collection and I am just soooo happy right now. I have been trying to get my paws on this one for well over two years! What a sweet day.

The last comic I needed to complete my collection of Buffy and Angel comics came in today: Willow and Tara's Wannablessedbe! I remember searching for that issue. It was so great to finally obtain it. For me, one of the hardest issues to find was #25 (the first wrap-around cover issue). No matter where I looked, I could never find it, and it was way too expensive when it showed up on eBay. Then one summer, when I went to visit family in Connecticut, I went to a comic shop up there that had about 3-4 of them. I bought two.  -CMK |

I don't know how "rare" they are, but I find the Wilderness comics to be pretty common. It's the Wannablessedbe one that was the killer for me.
My other pain-in-the-butt-to-find-comic was number 6, art cover (that's all I collect. I don't like the photo covers). It was just a little hard to find. Other hard to finds were the red and purple foil art covers...I forget the issue numbers.

I see what you mean about WannaBlessedBe. I've just seen it on a comic site for $40. Wonder why it was so hard to get!?
My hardest to find was #40. They got shipped in short quantities to the UK (due do a distribution error), but luckily there were lots left in the US!

That's great news about the last comic you need. I'm collecting all of the art covers as well, and I'm almost there. I need 1 or 2 more Buffy's and maybe 1 Angel. I've got to check my list and hunt for the last ones. I've had great luck in finding some. I found Wannablessedbe (art) at the comic store for the cover price!. I also got one in a lot from eBay, and the average price of those was maybe $2.00. I think there weren't as many of these printed, and the art cover was by a well know artist, hence the usually price. It is such a nice looking cover. Last fall I found several other ones I needed from dealer at a convention. He had a special going so they were all about $1.30 each.  Usually I wait around for good deals on eBay, or I'll find the odd one left over in a comic store. Some of those art covers are amazing, like the Death of Buffy series. For some reason, #28 seems to go for a lot. I dunno why, but I finally found it cheap. # 28So do the rest of you get the art covers, photos, or both? |

I have a mixture. For the Buffy series i have more photo, but a lot of art. And for Angel i have all issues as photo, and some of the issues twice with both covers.
Towards the end of the Buffy series, i started getting the art covers instead of the photo, 'cause i thought the art was amazing.

I hate the photo covers. Maybe that's a little strong, but I think they just look cheap with their mish-mash of the same old promo photos Photoshopped together... they all look the same. I always went for art covers; I mean if you don't like the art, why are you buying the comic anyway?

I always went for art covers; I mean if you don't like the art, why are you buying the comic anyway? They really should have done all direct market covers art, and all newstand covers photos. I unfortunately usually got stuck with the photo cover. I think I was the only one at the shop that they bought a copy for. Better photo than nothing, though. |
