- I have the first 32 issues (except #1 which I sold last year) which I purchased off the shelf when they were coming out back in the day. I was working at a comic book store at the time so I got great deals on new books. I was buying loads of new Marvel books (yes I was a Marvel Zombie at the time!!) and Darkhawk was one of the monthly books I was picking up. It really wasn't very good and I'm a little baffled I read 32 of those books.
I'm assuming #42 - 51 had a super low print run as no one was buying Darkhawk at the time. Of course there are rumours of a Darkhawk project from Marvel. It seems almost every insignificant character that is being rebooted is also getting a TV show/movie??

- I agree. Usually everyone wants first appearances, NIT last appearances. I guess it doesn't hurt that the print run at the end of Darkhawk's monthly was probably around 25 or so??

- There's a facebook group that has had a running joke for years, which was basically to continually post Darkhawk as a sleeper book and then everyone follows with Hail Darkhawk or some such. Last year the price began to go up as people started asking what the deal was. The group has something like 156,000 members, and they did this often enough to drive the price up...and up...and up. There are movie rumors of course, and his image is in GOTG 1 I believe, but really its basically a injoke on this group out of control. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ComicBookCollecting

- Facebook group, eh? Glad to see their efforts on attempting to help the world, ended up with them driving up prices of an inconsequential Marvel comic book character instead. We are so doomed as a collective race.

- Aw Brucifer it's not that bad. It's really a fun group to belong to overall, and I pump CBR anytime anyone asks about a great site to record your books. If you're on Facebook, it's a good one to belong to as with so many people there's rarely a question that goes unanswered. No sales or trades allowed-there's a sister group for that (which I'm also a member of and have gotten some killer deals on).
Yeah-Darkhawk. Ugh. But if I had one, I'd be pretty happy to sell it and the bridge I own in NYC...and the primo (swamp) land in NOLA, and a time share in FL...
