Looky what I found

I was at one of my favorite stores in the world, Harrison's Comics and Collectibles in Salem, MA and saw this baby for $20

It's a hardbound collection of the best Nintendo comics printed. The pages aren't numbered and I haven't the time to count so I can't tell you an actual number of pages but it is a THICK book.

Also, there is no original retail price printed on the book, but I got it for $20, which I think (and hope) is a good price for this collection.

But man, this is a great collection. It is sooooo 80s. I'm only halfway through it too. I'm glad to add it to my collection of miscellaneous video game-related shiznit

Looks really cool. I didn't even know there was any Nintendo comics out there let alone a compilation of all of the best ones.
What other comics are there other than Mario, Metroid, Punch Out and Zelda?

Who published it?

Who published it?
Valiant. Says it in the bottom left corner.

haha, oh god..those were so horrible and yet I loved them to pieces. I credit the Legend of Zelda comic book for introducing me to Valiant comics, which I fell in love with through stories from Magnus Robot Fighter... Solar... Shadowman...Archer & Armstrong...X-O Manowar....

Jesus man, they had some badass stuff. From what I understand the entire Valiant universe went to shit eventually (especially after Acclaim bought them out). Shame :( I would really have loved to have seen nice Harbinger or Bloodshot games. Shame all we got were some subpar Turok and Shadowman games and then a horrible X-O Manowar game :(

I actually have the one where Captain N is all like "Holy cow, what a woman Samus is!" Or something to that effect. Nice job finding one in the wild.

A GameBoy one where the GameBoy acted as a warp zone for Super Mario Land where Tatanga came out of the GameBoy and came to life and tried to conquer Earth and Mario popped out to stop him. And a couple Captain N comics too.

They're sooooo deliciously 80s

I LOVE that store. My friend Chris and I go there first on every trek to Salem, which is like 2 or 3 times a month. It's not that long a ride from Medford, but it's still not something we do all the time. I can't miss a trip to Game Zone either when I'm up there.

Maybe I'll run into you sometime. Look for a short, long-haired chick with a tall Cuban-looking dude. Or a long-haired guy with glasses and a big head (the big-headed one is my boyfriend Wig. I go up with him sometimes too LOL)

Haven't been there in ages, but do agree that it's a neat store!

A Punch-Out comic? WTF? Is it Mr. Dream or Tyson!?
