I... I... I don't know what to say. I don't think I know you anymore.

Tsk.

But what can I say? I let mine go when I sold 3/4 of my original collection back in 1987.

Boy, do I regret that one.

Now I have to mercilessly mock you...

...I mean, come on. You dig Swamp Thing, and you miss out on a run of Prez...for one frickin' dollar????????????????????

You sadden and disappoint me, Mr. Sterling.

you can buy comics worse than Prez every month from DC and Marvel - the legendary bad comics of the 60s-70s arent nearly as bad as they used to be....

Hey! Don't....dis...da' Swamp Thing....

And Mike, no matter how bad Prez might have been, it couldn't probably have been worse than George W. Bush.

Oh so YOU'RE the sap who was ahead of me in line and said he didn't want them because Prez was left out of Who's Who in the DC Universe. Thanks, suckah!

When I saw the title of the post, I figured I would pipe up to defend you. Now? Not so much.

Man, that's worse than New Coke.

Hey, I understand.

It was your last dollar and you really wanted a soft pretzel.

I mean, it's JUST the "complete run" of THE PREZ.

For a buck.

Hmmm.... on second thought... I don't understand.

But the president needs to be 35! What sort of Constitutional crisis brought about this teen-aged President? And why is he wearing a sweatshirt that practically screams "Assisnate Me" ?

To be fair to Mike, one dollar from "many years ago," adjusted for inflation, could easily be equivalent to as many as three dollars today.

Mike, at least say that you didn't have any cash on you or something. Or that you didn't have any friends to mooch a dollar off of.

'Cause that's a shootin' offense where I come from.

A couple things:
1. The cover price for the 4 books is 80 cents. So at a 4/buck, a profit was still being made.

2. You don't say what year this was or what condition the comics were in. Both important factors.

3. You also don't say if you already have the issues, or if you've already read them. Also important factors.

4. A GW joke? Spare us. Please.

5. I've skipped out on many a comic bargain. As any other comic collector, it comes to a point where you have to decide on what's really worth having in your collection, and what's not. Not only does space become a factor, but the obsessive compulsive need for completeness can take effect. So skipping out on buying certain books should never be fretted over.

So skipping them? eh. Worse things in life to worry about.

Please tell me this is before Neil Gaiman made Prez retroactively cool. If so, you deserve forgiveness. If not, a light beating.

Really, there are few comics not even worth a quarter, and most of those are written by Mark Millar.

i bought several issues of this series off the stands, and I thought it was goofy fun back then (still do today). But I agree that there are times when you've hit that "I just don't want to buy anything more" feeling, even if it's a great bargain.

BTW -- STILL better than Bush.

Is it truly better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done? In this case, I'm not sure.

Oh, Mike. I thought I knew you.

Do you kick puppies too, Mike?

Did you know that PREZ was reprinted in Sweden in the 80s? (Not all issues tho.)

I liked Prez, in all its goofiness.

What the world needs now is a Prez-style wacky fun comic.

I bet you'll pass that one up, too.

Philippos42 - You bet incorrectly, sir! (Though I doubt the likes of Prez will ever pass this way again.)

I could have bought the pop-up Kama Sutra for $2 at a clearance sale. Still regretting that one.
