I went out last night to meet up with some friends last night. So while I was waiting to meet up, I swung by my honey hole store to get the Gasolina Ashcan that came out.

By Shawn B. the One Year Later Investigator
What up CHU!?! Shawn B. back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics. Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Very tough week for the guys!
Sorry for not getting one of these out last week. I was busy on vacation. So this week to make up for it you get a double dose of One Year Later reviews. Thanks for reading everyone! Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 7/13/16 and 7/20/16”
