eBay item 2294022078 (Ends Dec-19-04 18:05:43 PST) - THE WORST COMIC BOOK I EVER BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY
" Description
NFL SUPERPRO #1
Marvel Comics, October 1991. Fine Condition. (Flat Tight Book with glossy cover. Light general wear)
Okay cats and kittens, I know that good and bad are subjective values. Like licorice and The Three Stooges, one person's idea of bad can be another's definition of wonderful. I bet out their somewhere there is even a person or two who thinks Timothy Dalton was the best James Bond. And I'm sure the artists and writers and editors involved with the 'NFL Superpro' comic worked very long hard hours bringing this beast to print. My apologies to the fine people who worked on this book and its fans. That said, I may never have wasted a dollar bill in more despicable fashio than the day that I purchased this horrific demon pulp. I could've given that dollar to an orphan or bought some peanut butter cups or something!
For those of you who don't remember NFL Superpro, Phil Grayfield is a former NFL player whose career was ended prematurely with injuries sustained while plugging major sports league in a medium primarily read by people who get stuffed into lockers by athletes while trying to escaped unnoticed to math class. He has since moved on to reporting for ESPN, who also gets plugged. Can you believe that in the course of his first major story a freak accident gives Phil superhuman football powers and he picks up a nifty looking red white and blue uniform to run around playing superhero in? Zowie! Apparently neither can the writer who pays the origin one page of lip service and moves on.
Now, you may be asking yourself 'Why on earth would I pay $50,000 for this crappy thing?' Here's the short list:
* The cover does say 'Collector's Item' and everybody knows that collector's items do nothing but appreciate in value. Its not like Marvel Comics or the NFL put out scads"
LOL. Funny stuff. I cannot believe someone didn't bid on this comic.
