.. 100 dollars.. for.. 7 reprinted issues. Wrong, I know. But.. it's 100 dollars for Space Horse Jesus as he was meant to be seen.

I would have expected it to be more expensive.
As a holy artefact?
Or as a nerd totem, for those with disposable incomes?
7 reprinted issues, in hardback, for $100 seems like a very good price. I mean, if they were shit issues, then $100 would be absurd.
But it's fucking Beta Ray Bill.
indeed. Also, they're not exactly black and white, but shot in color from Simonson's pencils.. so.. no colouring, no inking, but bluelines and roughs will show underneath.
Making it hella intriguing.
