Archie Sonic Mania
8 years ago
Obsessively playing Sonic Mania and feeling like I'm 7 years old all over again when Sonic & Knuckles finally completed the Sonic 3 saga back in 1994, I'm reminded I'm horrifically behind on my Archie Sonic comic collection which I've been collecting since I was a kid.
I started collecting them via my local supermarket back in the 90's until suddenly they stopped stocking comics,
then going to conventions during the 2000's and buying back issues in bulk,
afterward my college had a Borders nearby and I could buy them regularly,
then back home I finally caved and subscribed.
So needless to say, my comic collection has many gaps I've been wanting to close off for years and I need some help.
I'm finishing up on the last few commissions I currently owe, but if anyone's willing to part with their old Sonic comic issues in exchange for credit towards a commission of your choice, feel free to let me know so we can discuss.
Doesn't have to be mint-condition (but it'd be nice), it could also be acceptable having some wear and tear considering how old many issues I'm looking for can be as long as pages aren't missing or too damaged.
I'm thinking each single issue could be worth $5 each
while graphic novels/magazines could be worth $15 each
I think the prices also should help cover shipping costs

Good memories

I had a subscription for the Archie Sonic comics. I had a copy of issue #0. It was a freebie Archie sent to subscribers of other their other comics, I think. And I sold everything from #0 up. I'm kicking myself now. I miss those things.

OP
considering now Archie no longer has the rights to those comics now with IDW taking the reins, absolutely no clue if they'll republish them, but I want to get them as-is before they alter/omit anything like fan letters, fan art, ads from the era and such as well as unaltered art/scripts before comic compilations edited them

I really miss my issue 0 copy; it got eaten by carpenter ants along with the rest of my collection when I was a kid. Scott Shaw is still one of my favorite sonic artists from the comic

I sadly sold off almost all of my collection to a collector last September, including the original comic Sega put out (got that sucker graded before I sold it) but I still have some of my collection left, I can check on Sunday when I'm home to see what I have left.
