I have slowly come to a couple of conclusions. First, I have too many comics lying about the house. Second, Pete Milligan's current output simply doesn't do it for me and I've spent too long trying to tell myself otherwise.
So, I've decided to get rid of a few things and you lucky people can be the first to benefit. Prices are made up off the top of my head (so tell me if they're too steep) but they do include the cost of posting these delectable items to a location of your choosing. Anybody who can meet me in Glasgow or Edinburgh can knock a fiver off.
I will be happy to elucidate what I consider to be the failings of any of these which take your fancy.
Pete Milligan stuff
Greek Street #1-16. Yours for a tenner.
Hellblazer #250-275. £15.
Human Target #1-4 and #1-21. Both the mini-series and the short lived ongoing monthly series, but not the Final Cut book which came in between. You can own all this for a mere £15.
Other stuff
Elfquest #1-32. £15. This is the Epic comics reprint of the original series. It's quite pleasant if slightly cutesy and would provide your children with some strong female role models. There's a certain amount of shagging involved but it's pretty much all done tactfully between the panel borders.
Batman #655-670. £10. This is the start of Grant Morrison's current run on Batman up to the first part of the "The Resurrection of Ras Al Ghul" which, being a stupid crossover, immediately caused me to stop buying it. Also features a mildly inventive fight at a Pop Art exhibition and truly dreadful Joker text story.
I will take the greek streets off you, sir, very happily. Do you take paypal?

I've reached the same conclusion, so I'm of absolutely no use to you.
PM'd you re Human Target if they're still going.
Gentle bump to say I've still got Hellblazer, Batman and Elfquest if anyone's interested.
Also got a few other trades lying about that have outlived their usefulness.
The Losers. Vol.#1 - 5. Complete run of Diggle and Jock's silly spy thriller which is substantially better than the film. £15 for the lot, including postage.
The rest, call it a fiver each including the postage.
Batman: The Killing Joke. This is the deluxe (NB says on tin, not my description) hardback edition that Bolland spent ages ruining recolouring.
Mouse Guard: Fall 1152. Hardback again. Very nice looking but rather sparse tale of mice running around waving swords. Don't recall any mouse-shagging so pretty kid friendly.
Thanks Cosh,
packaged arrived swiftly and safely.
Ill take the losers if there not gone.
David
I'll snag the Hellblazers off you Cosh.

I'm afraid that's what arrived today David.
Couple of PMs sent. I'll probably get round to bunging whatever's left on ebay at some point but time for a last bump and quick recap of what's still taking up space that could be better occupied by new tat.
Issues
Elfquest #1-32
Batman #655-670
Trades
Batman: The Killing Joke. Deluxe Edition.
Mouse Guard: Fall 1152
Some other collections I've got lying about
Zenith Book 3. Titan Books edition, so that's the second half of Phase 2. Has a flappy torn bit at the bottom of the spine but otherwise in alright condition.
The Red Star vol. 1 & 2. Sort of interesting alternate future Russia sci-fi thing featuring socialistical designs, psychic warfare, big spaceships and the unstoppable march of the people towards the future. Not as good as Dante.
Kabuki: Circle of Blood Japanese girls getting a bit tormented about killing each other. David Mack is quite a good artist but I think he thinks he's Bill Sienkiewicz.
There's a good chance I might have that Killing Joke off you.
A quick thank you to Cosh for the Human Target issues. They arrived a few days ago but only just had the chance to collect them from the post office. In the reading pile (mountain) now but from a quick flick through have to note it looks like the art will be excellent throughout.
Hellblazer arrived safe and sound, thanks Cosh, you're a gent.
Every time I see this thread I read it as "Who will buy my grotty old tart?"
I've heard of self pimping before but...
Sorry. I'll go now...
Woken by loud banging on the door the morning after Paddy's Day : bad.
But, no! - it was the postie with my Killing Joke : Cheers, Cosh!
Thanks for all the thanks on this thread. And your cash!
I've currently got the stuff that nobody wanted up on eBay along with a whole load of other comics, games, laptop memory, food mixers, etc. Feel free to take a look, although I should warn you there is far more shameless profiteering involved than there was on here.

Well, as it happens...
Bah- just seen this thread; curse you work! Cosh- do you still have the Mouseguard book?
Hmm, some of the bids there give me hope for flogging seams from my own heap! My ingenious missus is currently selling our broken baby buggy on eBay - but rather than admitting that it's only fit for Steptoe (or son) to collect, she's broken the thing down to its smallest component parts and is selling it as spares. Money is gradually rolling in - €12 for the plastic bits that hold up the raincover alone!
Sorry Bolt - I got my hands on the Mouseguard book!
And cheers Cosh - safely arrived and bloomin' lovely!
