Longshot Makes His Debut, On Auction At Heritage Auctions

Published Mon, 08 Aug 2022 11:02:11 -0500

Longshot is one of my personal favorite mutants, and his debut in his original mini-series from 1985 remains a comic that I try to read at least once a year. Sure, it has the look of one of the most 80's comics of all time, but besides being a cool character, it features the first major comics work of Ann Nocenti and Art Adams. That feels like a big deal as well. Taking bids at Heritage Auctions today is a CGC 9.8 copy of Longshot #1, and it is a gorgeous copy of the book. Currently, it is sitting at $155. You can check it out below.

You know, they need to do more with Longshot. I don't just mean comics, I would love to see him in a film, and Hasbro has announced that we are finally getting a classic figure in a Mojo box set later this year. But I need more.

This is an underrated comic from the 80's somehow. It even has the debut of Spiral as well. This is a great key to grab, so go here and place a bid or get more information on this book. While you are there, go ahead and take a spin around and see what other books are taking bids in this auction. There is some cool stuff at affordable prices right now.
