Where Can I Get Any Of These Comics?

Well, if you're intrigued enough and want to actually read/see any of the titles listed above, here's a few tips:

Check your local Yellow Pages for Comic Books to see what comics stores may be available in your area. Most stores have back issue bins ranging from fairly modest to extensive.   You can also call 1-888-COMIC BOOK to find out where the nearest comic book store is located. (If this phone number is wrong, please don't send e-mail stating you're going to kill me.)

Once in a great while you can find a treasure trove in your local used bookstore, as well.  You'd be surprised how many of these issues can be hunted up at a used bookstore if you know which issues and titles you're looking for.

Some titles are also available directly from the publisher, like the Antarctic and Lost Cause issues of Gold Digger and Spandex Tights, respectively.

Finally, Comic Book conventions are a good place to search for those elusive issues as many dealers have back stock they are just dying to get rid of at very cheap prices. You may also want to check out advertisers in publications such as The Comics Buyer's Guide, Wizard, etc.  If one doesn't happen near your home, yearly ones with a boatload of dealers come to Chicago and San Diego.  If you can't find it there, even we would be hard-pressed to tell you where to look.

Most of the issues listed are fairly affordable, with the exception of the Golden Age Era books. When the stories have been reprinted, a note has been made. Usually, the reprinted versions will be more easily obtainable as trade paperbacks, but in some cases, the stories are actually reprinted in comic book form.
