Not sure how big the market for Image comics still is around here (Europe). Although I might be able to finish some local series like El Mercenario (they went kinda nuts and made every panel an oil painting) or the Black Moon Chronicles. Let's hope they held up over time :D
You have to remember that the '90s was the decade of the comics glut. Every publisher under the sun was cranking out a bajillion titles with infinity variant covers to try and drive the speculation market. My dad used to say that they (both the industry and the speculators) were "investing in tulips", and he wasn't far from the truth. I'm not surprised that there's plenty of back issues in the bins.
Very true. But you can find some good stories. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and remember grabbing variants thinking they would be valuable. Same thing happened with sports cards (which I collect as well). They have some decent pre 70s stuff
I buy back issues now when it comes to the big. 2. 90s Image awesome! I recently learned about Alterna comics and bought some. They are good.
Hm, back issues might be an idea.

Luckily my local comic book store has a massive back issues section. Funny because the old comics seem to sell better.
