Robocop Versus The Terminator was a four-issue mini-series published by Dark Horse in 1992, crossing over the two sci-fi action properties with a superstar creative team. Written by Frank Miller and art by Walter Simonson, this was an event when it was published and was damn good as well. It kinda changed how the crossover comic was treated, as Dark Horse continued to crossover their licenses and created the stories people wanted to see but would never get on the big screen. Right now, taking bids at Heritage Auctions is a CGC 9.8 copy of the first issue of Robocop Versus The Terminator, and I mean, it is the steal of the century. As of this writing, it's only $6.
