Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Paper Girls #1 Redux
We mentioned Paper Girls #1 the other night as one to watch. They are selling out on-line as soon as they are posted up. Found these for less than cover price.
Bombshellcomics has Paper Girls #1 on sale for $2.49 plus shipping. Might be worth looking at.
70 comics — gone — and fast! This certainly is one to watch. Thanks for posting, Tony!
that was insane. You guys are beasts! 70 comics sold in an hour. I don’t know the seller but he owes me a beer!
Haha — or everyone else owes you many beers!
I don’t know if my liver could handle the amount of beers people said they would buy me.
You sir, are now like Oprah with her book recommendations.. you post, people flock to buy, you make people money! 😉
I see bad ass collectibles has 10 left at 2.69 each with 2.99 shipping.
There it is.
A book to get.
I should write and illustrate comic about when I was a paperboy in the early to mid 80’s…. Don’t know how well it would sell since the most exciting thing that happened was is snowed pretty bad an my father drove me one Sunday morning. The Pointer Sisters song “Automatic” was playing on the radio. Neither of us touched the dial or met eye contact…The song played until it was over.
You know, a good writer could turn any story into an interesting one. Write it well enough to captivate your reading audience and you have a winner. 😉
Hmmmmm…if only I could spell….. There was the time my dad was driving me to the mall when I was barely a teen. “Like a Virgin” came on the radio by Madonna… That song didn’t last long. The rest of the drive was spent in silence with the usual no eye contact rule firmly enforced.
i have 24,000 copies left at cover price – seriously !!!
You ordered 24,000 copies?
He’s saying there are 24k copies still available to buy from Diamond cause Image is now over printing to avoid 2nd prints.. this one will go to second print though, maybe even a 3rd.
This makes me regret ordering two.
Well, they’re still completely re-oderable from Diamond so you’ve got plenty of time to up your order if you want more from a brick and mortar store.
The final order cut off has happened on the book so once those are gone they are gone.

It looks like this book will have more then 60k prints. But I am still in. It still doesn’t compare to Marvel or DC prints. Marvel had a huge print runt for the secret wars ark and people still make it sell out. With such a great writer, this book is a winner. Can’t wait for it and I know I won’t regret buying my copies.
Yup. Print runs do not matter. What matters is overall demand. The only time print runs factor in value is when the demand is high but the availability is low, so they only assist in the value, but demand drives value. They both play a role but when you break it down, demand trumps print run.
You can have a million copies and if 2 million people want a copy, the value will go up depending on how much people are willing to pay. You could also have a million copies that no one wants so they sell at cover or less (50 cent bin).
You could also have a print run of say, 50 copies of a book but if it had zero demand, then the book is worth cover value or less. This example is the exact reason one cannot base value on the print run, because without actual demand of the product, print run means nothing.
agentpoyo – completely true !!! you are right. However with Image printing 24,000 copies MORE than what retailers ordered for their file customers is pretty darn high so beware
It’ll just take a little longer for demand to surpass readily easy supplies… 😉
Hopefully this ensures I can actually get a copy instead of hearing that my shop was shorted. Nothing is more frustrating than hearing my shop tell me that they ordered plenty and received a fraction of the order.
I also just ordered two copies, but I am sure I will be able to pick up a couple more when they come out. Does anybody know of any variants for #1?
Possible NYCC variant. But unsure. Heard something about an RRP type book at New York but not 100% sure if it’s credible.

Stephen has sent another link to bad ass collectibles.How many people got ripped off by this guy and bad ass collectibles?
Didn’t order mine from them. Don’t remember if I ordered from them in the past. Do they have that bad of a rep?
No 2nd prints for any of Paper Girls 1-5….a rarity even with the over printing. Vaughan is not a big fan of 2nd printings. Certainly one to hang on to for later.
