Paper: White

Label #3797265009

To top it all off, the two curvaceous cut-ups go head to head in a fist smacking, elbow jabbing, belly bumping, knife wielding cat-fight. And since Bettie and Cleopatra look exactly alike, that means twice the Bettie, and twice the fun. It doesn't get any better than that! Cover price $2.95.

Elektra (2001 2nd Series) 3A CBCS 9.8 SS Horn Horn Uncensored 1st Printing

Paper: White

Recalled Edition. Verified Signature: Greg Horn.

Label #24-168A9DD-001

Pages 25-28 uncensored w/o underwear shadows. FIRST PRINTING. This is the first printing of Elektra #3. No more than 5,000 copies exist of this first printing, making it the smallest first printing ever in Marvel's history. All the remaining copies were destroyed by the printer on instructions from Marvel when it was discovered that Elektra was more underclothed than usual (pages 25-28). The second printing, which was distributed to comic stores nationwide, was retouched to render Elektra a bit more modest, but contrary to a report in Wizard Magazine (#123, page 124), no word balloons were added to aid Elektra in her new quest for modesty. Wizard reports only 2,000-3,000 copies survived the shredder, but mycomicshop.com believes the number could be 5,000--still a mighty low print run. If you are looking to add a rare Marvel comic to your collection, this book is for you... but if you order it because you misplaced your Playboy collection, you'll be sorely disappointed. Contrary to the lurid reports in Wizard and elsewhere, the Elektra first printing with a bare Elektra is pretty tame stuff. Cover by Greg Horn, story by Brian Michael Bendis and art by Chuck Austen. On a mission of assassination in Iraq, Elektra receives a shocking offer from the terrorist organization known as Hydra! But it's S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Stanley Dreyfuss who'll have to sort out the players in this deadly game of espionage -- that is, if enough of them are left alive! Cover price $2.99.

Harley Quinn (2000) 1 CBCS 7.0

Paper: White

Direct Edition

Label #23-1850990-002

From the moment she first appeared on Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has taken the world by storm. Now, building on her triumphant debut as part of the DC Universe during "No Man's Land" (in the hugely successful BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN one-shot), the Joker's special lady takes center stage in a new ongoing series titled ? what else? ? HARLEY QUINN. Written by Karl Kesel (SUPERBOY, Section Zero) with art and covers by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson (SILVER AGE, Generation X), HARLEY QUINN is not the story of an honorable woman and her quest for justice. Instead, it's a love story gone horribly, horribly, horribly wrong, especially in the first, extra-length issue, as the Joker's girlfriend must do without Mister J's "calming" influence! And considering just how many sandwiches short of a picnic Harley is, you know this book's going to be wild! Harley is driven to astounding lengths to free her loony lover. And that's just in the first seven pages! What follows is too strange for words, though it does involve one itsy-bitsy cameo by Batman. Just one! Once you see life through the eyes of Harley Quinn, you'll find she makes a lot more sense. Would you believe a little more sense? Cover price $2.95.
