What are your most prized, bizarre, or interesting comic shop finds?
Strictly from an LCS?The first Cerebus phonebookApparently it's rare than the other phonebooks because most people skip to the second

I got a bunch of Bone comics when they were having a "THE SELLER WAS IN SEVERE FINANCIAL TROUBLE" sale.
>>151821116A Batman #423 first print along with a couple other Batman key issues that I bought for one or two bucks each.
>>151821116Complete run of Kamandi floppies.
>>151821261Nice. I got a handful of New Gods but for classic Kirby stuff my collection is severely lacking.
>>151821116pic rel is all from my local shop, except for the sonic comics the only ones i could salvage from my shitty childhood I love reprints of EC comics, i even started buying the reprinted collections of Vault of Horror/Haunt of Fear to sink my teeth into. The Nostradamus comics were a fun find also, I never really knew anything about his predictions and, the comics themselves are moreso books with some graphics but still a good read. The sonic and Smokey the Bear comics i love for those vintage ads, and corny jokes. lastly I love CUD. The original run of CUD is very anti-comics code, heavily inspired by R. Crumb, very stupid and edgy for the sake of edgy, Terry LaBan's more mainstream stuff was a bit too neutered for me. I have 3 main columns for buying comics, anything old on that pulpy paper, horror comics, indie comics, and things that might not even conventionally be comics but are still presented in the medium. If the comics doesn't even have a barcode, or looks hand drawn, I'll probably love it. I try not to buy anything made after the late 90s, the art work is overdone, and i hate the feeling of glossy pages. I want my comics to feel like a newspaper and not needing any fancy shading or too realistic character models.
