OK guys I have a rather strange request... i don't know how many of you frequent comic book shops at all, but I am desperate! I am searching for a trade paperback thats a few years old and out of print. The creator passed away last year, and Cosmis Therapy/Sirius is not reprinting his trades.
What i am looking for is called; Poison Elves Vol 7 "Salvation" Is a trade (as i said) and if anyone happens to wander into a comic shop (or god forbid has this and is willing to part wiht it) PLEASE let me know, and i will buy it... I have nearly the whole run with a few holes toward the end but for now i NEED this trade. Thanks to anyone who happens to ask around.
Also, don;'t bother asking if they can order it, they can't. Also i check ebay and a few other of those type of sites and found it but they wanted over $100 for it!
Again, thanks for any help.

That wasn't such a strange request.

I'll keep 'em peeled, but I admit, I have no familiarity with "trades." Can you give me some insight? I frequent a place called Between Books, and they are a book and comic store, with a smattering of games.
-
Well, the trades are a collection of formerly published issues. I think you could ask the person working for it. Basically they are "thicker" comics. Not sure how else to say it sorry.

More like graphic novels? Or still made from newsprint and two staples?
-
Ya graphic novels..sorry Trades is sorta the newer term
-
The term 'Trades' stem from regular books that are tradebacks, correct? You have paperbacks, then tradebacks (hardback-sized paperbacks), then hardbacks.
My local shop doesn't have it. Evidently it has been out of print for a while. I can try another shop, when I get there in a couple weeks, but it's a slim chance for two reasons. One, I'm blonde and that's a long time out and two, the store I'm thinking of is hit or miss.

Just emailed my comic connection. Will let you know what he says

Dave,
If it is available anywhere, BB will have it. Greg has a huge and ecletic enough selection, I imagine he will have it. Things like an original Watchmen, the Dieties and Demigods with Elric in it... that sorta stuff...

Drew Hayes (sp?) is dead !!??? Man that sucks, guess I should see which ones I'm missing too.
Good luck with the hunt Melanie.
-
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

TK's connection apparently has it or can get it, so when i hear back i will let y'all know
Also Jim, yes sadly Mr Hayes passed away in his sleep from a heart attack at the age of 37 last march (i think it was) I cried (even though i never met him) for 2 days. Only the good die young as they say (which means I'll live forever) :P

Good to hear....errrr...read!! ::)
That would explain why his books stopped coming out. :(
Damn, I gots the sniffles now....it's just the dust from digging out my trades....yeah...really.
And I'm missing Number 9.

I just ordered Books 9, 11, Parantachian(sp?) and Hyena on Amazon for just shy of $45 total.

Is there anything TK's connections can't get? :)
