Hi
Take a look at this auction for StarLord Comics with all the gifts and 6 varient number 1's
Finishes tomorrow though
Link: Starlord Mint Comic Auction
Wow! A lot of those covers are fantastic.
Seeing as how I've been outbid (my highest bid being ?49.99 - a lot higher than I'd sensibly be prepared to pay), I might as well tell you guys about this one:
Complete run of Star Lord.

Bloody hell - I only paid a tenner for the entire run!

I'll give you a ?20 for 'em - double your money!
Its my experience that if you can physically go to Marts then prices generally are a heck of a lot lower than on ebay..
'I'll give you a ?20 for 'em - double your money!'
.... No. The nostalgia factor is just too great to part with them. I did it once, never again.

Some time ago I picked up a complete Starlord run plus a summer special on ebay for about 10 quid.
Is there now an interest building in Starlord?
Have to say I didn't know about the different stickers for issue one. Nice..
I'm now looking for a run of Tronado comics. Any suggestions anyone?

Well, I bought Starlord (complete run, mint condition, with gifts) from eBay for about ?12 this time last year.
I then sold - about a week later, and also on eBay - my old Starlord #1 through #3, for ?30, despite advertising them (honestly) as having no free gifts, battered spines and loose pages.
I think eBay prices for Starlord may well be largely random - sometimes dirt cheap and other times silly money.
BLIMEY - THAT ?205 BID IS A BIT MUCH THOUGH
(excuse the shouting - I was startled...)

Hi, Now it's closed, I just thought I would let you know that it was my auction for the Starlord Comics on ebay. They truely are in mint condition, no yellowing, creases etc. I bought them recently from a dealer in the US. They had never been distributed and are in as good a condition as if you were buying them in '78. They are just too good for what I wanted them for, which was to read, enjoy and relive when I had them from the first time around all those years ago.
Why am I not surprised it was your auction all along? It was your first post on the board. The question is, are you going to stick around or will you just vanish now the auction is over?
Wake
I'll probably stick around, though it's a long time since I read 2000ad. The first issue I got was number 2. It was my first post but funnily enough I only just found the place anyway. Have the StarLord comics inspired me to look for 2000ad on the web and this site is very comprehensive and it's great to see some of those early issues I had as a kid
2000AD's been on a very high standard this year, the quality has been rises steadily since Rebellion took over & since the mid-nineties were over. Certainly worth getting into it again, although you might as well wait till the week after next for Prog 1313 which will have a fresh lineup.
Either way, GET THE JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE it's brilliant.
Thanks for your suggestion. I shall try to get hold of a copy. In fact I might even subscribe
theres a nice new-ish 'Starlord' write-up at Comics UK btw (also a good Tornado one) ...

Okay, I just won 8 Star Lords on eBay for ?3.20 - that's 36.36% of all the issues at 0.02% of the price.
Congrats on your sale btw, if some people are crazy enough to pay that much for a bunch of old comics then it is your moral duty to take thier money!
And a month later - I've started reading them (they arrived at my London address the day after I left to go get married)
SPOILERS: STAR LORD ISSUES 1-2!
Planet of the Damned: Reasonably cheesy but pretty enjoyable - an airplane crashes in the Bemuda (sp?) Triangle & is warped to Planet of the Damned where the survivors battle for survival against the blobby monster things & acid water, protected by Flint who is *really* heroic (read: "smug annoying git")
Timequake: Almost painfully cheesy - A nuclear war in 1978 that destroys civilisation turns out to be an evil alien plot from the future to prevent Humans from winning some future war. James Blocker, a cockerney geeeezer is saved my mad scientists & taken to a 'Flesh' era Time Station but as they're explaining what's going on THE ALIENS ATTACK!! The scientists escape to 1666 where they accidently start the fire of London & then POINT IT OUT IN A STATE THE BLEEDIN' OBVIOUS manner that (IMO) detracts from the amusement of the event
Strontium Dog: The reason I wanted to get Star Lord - Nice intro & set up (Wulf's dialogue seems to be more Germanic than the 'v' instead of 'w' accent he has later on... at this point he's obviously still learning English as he's still says stuff like 'mit' instead of 'with' - and no mention of any Viking history in sight GordonR, but I'm keeping my eyes out for any clues!) A fairly straight forward SD tale of good quality, doesn't seem to have the cheese factor of the other stories.
Ro-Busters: A curious mix of cheese & no-cheese - good set up, good action. Part two picks up really well & it's great to see Mek-Quake's character is completely established from the start "BIG JOBS!"
Mind Wars: (Episode 1 is in SL issue 2) Fairly cheesy also, has a very Return to Armageddon feel to it (probably just the Redondo). An Alien/Human future war on Galactic scale is reaching stalemate when an alien beam makes two humans (a brother & sister pair) gain psychic/telekenetic etc powers - but to what purpose?
Very glad I got these... going to have to complete my Star Lord collection now.
if johnny alpha ever got picked up for a movie deal,and is strong enough to be done. then starlord could well go through the roof value wise.205 pounds may seem a little price now.
