Wednesday One to Watch: Bee and Puppy Cat #7

Add this to the list of recalled / error variants:

Boom Studios have sent notification to retailers that Bee And Puppy Cat #7 is to be destroyed and they will receive replacement copies in addition to a refund on freight back.

Boom claims it was a printing error in Bee And Puppy Cat #7 that caused the problem. Copies of recalled books can shoot up in value quickly and are worth grabbing copies of. (See what happened with Rai #2 with the error on the mask cover). If you see a copy of Bee And Puppy Cat #7 it may be worth getting one.

I have been picking them up as a novelty for years and recently did very well with a Phonogram recalled issue that I grabbed out of a $1 bin.

Top 100 Hottest Comic Titles during EARLY DECEMBER 2014

Bi-weekly column and list compiled by comics historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com

unnamed
This chart is styled like the old classic Wizard Magazine Top 10 Hottest Comic charts that were published every month in the 1990′s.

This list is updated every 2 weeks. This list is compiled from my non-stop research of the current market. I believe these were the most demand and growing in value books this month. This list focuses on all regular edition covers. (Variants are not listed otherwise they would likely dominate the entire list due to instant high prices and calculated small print runs). If you think I have missed any hot MODERN titles/issues please let me know. Here are my picks of what I believe are the hottest comics at this very moment from all sold out releases of MODERN comics online based on back issue sales ABOVE cover price.
