comic book geeks

Ok... it was a sword and sorcery type book along the lines of Conan, Warlord, Kazar, etc.... the guy in the comic was a warrior type and fought numerous battles... the distinguishing feature about him was that one of his hands was in the form of a werewolf hand... it was covered with hair from the wrist down, had claws, etc... he believed somewhere there was a beast wearing his hand.

I only had two of these comics, in one he cut the hand off but it reattached itself to him. He often wore a metal glove to cover it up.

I don't know the name of this comic or his name... but I was talking with another comic fan and he remembered it too... it was like.. "damn, I remember that shit.. what was it called? oh shit... can't remember..." So both of us have a bet now on who can locate the comic or name first.

Been over a year, so not much hope in either of us winning.

You've got me on that one... but I am going to research it... It sounds real familiar... do you remeber the publisher? Dark Horse, Image etc...

Came out in the 70's. Around the same time as the others (warlord, karzar, etc..)

I went to a side comic shop on the way to lunch. That hippy carries just about everything.

Damn... you found it... I was going to e-mail the guy I order from at mailordercomics.com with your description.

I found them on milehighcomics.com. It looks like it was a 12 book series. You can probably get all of them in NM condition for under 90 bucks.

Sweet! I need to hit up the one near me and see if I can regain my collection that my father sold from under my nose when I moved out... fuck... I am still pissed about that. He didn't think I wanted them... I had so many rare books it would take a few grand to get those all back.

Dude, that ain't shit. Want to hear some weird ass Twilight Zone shit?

My stepmom GAVE AWAY my Star Wars figures, playsets, GI JOE figures and weapons/vehicles. In addition to my comic book collection when my father divorced her. (she gave away a bunch of his shit too...) I was 14 then... I had a total of 38 StarWar/GI Joe figures and 15 assorted vehicles for both sets. (like most kids, I combined the two factions into one big adventure all the time)

I was pissed.

11 years later at age 25, at a ratty ass side auction near Lake Lanier with me ex (the last trip we ever took - amazing because I dumped him three weeks after and it was his idea to stop here.. some good came out of him after all), We were sitting there and a Star Wars poster (signed by the crew and film cast) failed to bring in over $5. The man auctioning it said "people aren't collecting this now-days... they want that new shit. I got a bunch of shit in the truck I can't get rid of". Naturally I went out there and was looking around with him... he had all kind of Starwars and action figure shit. Heman, Micronauts, etc... He mentioned that he had some stuff in a box that he would give me for $10 if I knew some kids that wanted it. Said that he couldn't sell it because it had some initials scratched on every piece... I looked in that box and almost fainted. It was MY collection. Every piece had MA on it where my father scratched my initials in it so other children would not think it was theirs when they came to play. Every single piece 38 figures, 15 vehicles were in that box. Nothing else. Even the weapons.. like the Sandman's crowbar and stuff. I couldn't believe it.

When I got in the car and my ex looked in the box, he was like "what did you buy this for?" I was like.. "shut up, you couldn't comprehend it."

But I never did find my comic collection. (and my dad never got back any of shit either.)

Holy shit dude... That is some awesome luck.

I had about 30 Star Wars figures and my mom got rid of them when she was on a religious kick... All my GI Joes were also pillaged by my dad later on along with the comic books.

People don't seem to understand the importance of those things. Those were true links to my childhood and now they are gone somewhere in oblivion.

At least you got some of them back.
