I was looking at Joey's website for his store and happened upon his ebay store link. I went there and noticed a Death Dealer #1 for sale and was kind of shocked to see it selling there for $18 BIN.  It kind of upset me, because about 3 years ago, I sold my entire collection of Verotik books. I didnt have a lot, I think it was like 14 or 15 books. But, for a period there, when they came out, they got hot for like 6 months and fizzled out completely. What happened to them? Anybody know???  Well, even though I didnt read but a couple of quick stories, you could tell mainly it was blood and gore and shock value. Danzig being involved made it have a rock kind of overtone to it. It was comics daring to be bad. No, they werent great. But....I kind of remember liking them for some reason. They appealed to me. I think because they was just twisted. Anyway, now that I have sold my collection, I am pissed about it. For me, it was off the beaten path. It was me stretching my horizons to get into something unique and odd. The fact that they got ice cold so quickly made me lose interest in them. At one time, you could get them for nothing. I imagine most of them you still can. But, I have to say....I hardly see them anymore. Anyway...anybody has anything to share on Verotik, let us know and post what you know and got. In the meantime...here's a decent website I found on them. nt.danzig-verotik.com/docs/verotikstore/catalog/storefront.html |

I checked that Verotik site and it must be old.I need some Death Dealer 3's to make sets,and I can't get anywhere to checkout or add it to a shopping cart.I've been getting $50/set on Ebay when I have 'em. It's a good site for reference though! Tommy,I still have about 2 long boxes of Verotik stuff.If you are looking for anything in particular let me know.Danzig did an in-store signing for us back in 1996.It was pretty awesome! We had a line of a couple hundred people.The radio station was doing a live broadcast from the shop,and Glenn was pretty cool! The books used to sell great for us,but his erratic output helped kill it off. They used to have that rock n roll feel to them. There was one artist that used to do alot of stuff for them "Martin Emond" that had a really cool style. The guy died last year but I don't know how. And the Wingbird art was pretty awesome Japanimation,although it would go off the deepend alot!

Yeah, I didnt look too deep into the site. I seen that it looked like it had all the covers and I thought it would be good for reference to the cover shots and those maybe looking to collect them. I wouldnt mind starting again how many books they had as a company altogether? You know Joey? $50 for a complete set including Death Dealers? That seems like a good deal. I wouldnt mind having 1 set to say I have it or 2 for "just in case" purposes down the road. Sometimes I think somebody should raid characters or licenses for their own company and restart. If something like that happened, that would make these hot. Isnt that why Death Dealer suddenly got moving again? |

Oh duh...  I just counted using C's site for reference. I counted 166 total comics, but they have a lot of alternate covers and TPB and so on. When I counted just regular stand alone comics, I counted 100 exactly. I may have made an error in counting so you may want to + or - 2-3% but it should be pretty close to that. Could make for an interesting little side quest. I have to be honest, I would think 90% of it is dumpster material, but other than the Death Dealers....I hardly ever see it. If I happened upon some cheap, I may start picking them up again. The were cool in a strange way. |

For clarification, I don't have one site. I have dozens of sites. Mostly comic checklists scattered across free web hosting sites. Since all my stuff is informational in nature and I'm not making money on it, I prefer to keep the costs down to zero. Well, nothing is free. I give my time away when I'm too tired to do anything else. defiant1.proboards27.com/index.cgiThe drop down menu at the top of my messageboard can take you to a lot of the checklists I've created. Some other links are posted in the threads on my messageboard. cfs |
