Bleeding Cool has been reporting how the comics speculator market seems to have seized on the self published book Rachel Rising by Terry Moore and Abstract Press, with word of a possible TV series. With issue one in excellent slabbed condition selling for near a thousand dollars, another selling in still very decent condition for $250. and unslabbed for up to $200, some wondered just how many there were of them out there. Terry Moore obliged;

Got print run info today for #RachelRising #1 collectors. 1st print 12,600. 2nd: 1,350, 3rd: 1,200. And that's all there is.

Funny FYI: I have only 3 copies each of Rachel Rising 1, SiP 1 & Echo 1. Just as well, if I had extras I'd trade em for guitars.

While a first print is often more desirable for the collector, it's worth nothing that there are over ten times as many first prints as third prints. A third print just went for $30. A second print for $35. Let's see what happens now…

As for the future of the book, Terry states;
