I have the entirety of the John Byrne issues collected as part of an omnibus, and honestly, I didn&#8217;t really enjoy the non-Byrne issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not ruling anything out, and it&#8217;s possible that at some point I&#8217;ll get a wild (green) hair and decide to fill the gaps to have a complete run of the series, but in the meantime, I just wanted to get a replacement copy of this issue as it&#8217;s a favorite and &#8211; mostly because it features Shulkie in a bikini on the cover &#8211; it seems to be rising in value, and is currently one of the most valuable issues of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found it for a decent price in the Bay of E, purchased it, it arrived, and now I&#8217;m showing it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.opendoor-comics.com\/unbagged\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2022\/11\/selfportrait.jpg?resize=518%2C516&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.opendoor-comics.com\/unbagged\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2022\/11\/selfportrait.jpg?w=518&amp;ssl=1 518w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.opendoor-comics.com\/unbagged\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2022\/11\/selfportrait.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.opendoor-comics.com\/unbagged\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2022\/11\/selfportrait.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Born and raised in the sparsely populated Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Jon Maki developed an enduring love for comics at an early age.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9581540985996689\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Unbagged -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9581540985996689\" data-ad-slot=\"5626726652\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one addition &#8211;
