Newbury Comics Grab Bag Experiment: Indie Bag #1!

 Here's what I found in my first "indie grab bag," folks:

  • Conan Scourge of the Serpent #1 (Titan Books)
  • The Sparrow Academy #1 (Dark Horse)
  • Catacomb of Torment #3 (EC)
  • Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa #1 (Oni)
  • Skinbreaker #1 (Image)
  • Exquisite Corpses #5 (Image)
  • Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TNMT III #1 (Boom)
  • Toxic Crusaders #1 (Ahoy)
  • Archie #1 (2015) (Archie)
  • The Curse of Sherlee Johnson #3 (Image)
It's worth noting that the Archie #1 featured a Newbury Comics Exclusive Cover by Peter Bagge.  Current worth of this Super Rare Collectible: 60 American Cents.

The Exquisite Corpses issue was also polybagged and contained an "Exclusive Trading Card!" The card had some "game stats" on it, but for what game, I couldn't tell. All yours for 60 cents!

Books I decided to actually read from this bag:
  • Conan Scourge of the Serpent #1 (Titan Books)
  • The Sparrow Academy #1 (Dark Horse)
  • Catacomb of Torment #3 (EC)
  • Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa #1 (Oni)
  • Skinbreaker #1 (Image)
  • Exquisite Corpses #5 (Image)
  • Toxic Crusaders #1 (Ahoy)
7 out of 10! Not bad! 

Books I decided to keep/read further:
  • Conan Scourge of the Serpent #1 (Titan Books)
  • Catacomb of Torment #3 (EC)
  • Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa #1 (Oni)
3 out of 10! Pretty bad! These three would have cost me $15 new, so spending $6 is still a "win," tho.

See the covers of the winning issues below! If you want discuss my choices, etc, leave a comment!
