      It's not a joke,lol! Google it and you'll see. Or just take a look at this site:

      This is another of the well documented rare Whitman comics only available in multi-packs


      And do you have the movie trading cards? And Panini sticker album with the movie stickers to put in them? Do you want a link to where you can see them,and even buy them? lol!

      Watched the movie not too long ago,and still love it. Wish I still had my comics and toys and such. Oh well.

        I have all the trading cards and stickers but no sticker book so I'll take that link. I can't remember if it was battlestar galactica or black hole that had multiple sets

          Your wish is my command! I noticed first now that the prices are in GBP,so kinda pricey for the stickers and sticker album,but not too bad for a box of movie trading cards. Here's the link:

          I also like the Caltex Service Station Giant Wall Poster stuff,lol! You can see it here:

              Unfortunately for your pocket, no. Still, something new to look for!

                Issue number 4 is one of those weird books that fly under everyone's radar. I have seen copies first hand sell recently for as little as $20 at an antique mall while on eBay the prices are in the mid-hundreds. Most folks don't realize they have a rare comic. I'm positive that up here in the Ontario part of Canada that bagged set was sold in a chain store like Bi-Way cause like Brian, I remember seeing it as a kid.

                Here's a little replica mockup silliness I did for a friend who thought he hit the motherload with that $20 purchase.

                  Hahah! That's great. Boy, I wish I'd stumble upon one for $20.

                    Wow...I had the bagged 3-pack when I was a kid, and was really immersed in #3 where it told the story of what happened when they went BEYOND the black hole. But then it ended abruptly, and I figured that was all I'd ever get to read of the story. Now I find there actually *was* another issue published - and of course, it's crazy hard to find and can go for hundreds of dollars. And then I find out there's not just a fourth issue, but a FIFTH and SIXTH issue published (albeit in Spanish only!).

                    Young me and older me are both dying to find out what happens after issue #3. I don't care about actually owning copies of them all (though that would be nice); I just want to read them. And I'll even translate the Spanish in #5 and #6 to do it.

                      Yeah,gotta look into finding online copies of them. Luckily I have people who can find it for me,lol! May take some time though. I'll get back to it when I get it.

                      And yeah,there's some really great stuff out there if you just look for it. Guess I have to do the same for another movie with a VERY small fanbase that I loved back in the day,lol!

                        I think the German editions of the Black Hole comics also include the stories from issues 5 and 6 !

                        There were 3 volumes. Volume 1 was the complete movie adaptation and volumes 2 and 3
                        contained the stories "on the other side of the black hole". There were two stories in each volume.
                        Each volume was 48 pages. This is what the covers look like:



                        The German title was "Das Schwarze Loch" ("schwarz" = black, "Loch" = hole ).
                        The one on the right is volume 3 ("Heft 3" in German). It should contain the stories from original issue 5 and 6.

                        Searching the web I found this interesting thread in another forum:
                        https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/top...ssues-5-amp-6/

                        In that thread there are pictures of two black and white pages (original art?) from the issue 6 story ("The Return of Rheinhardt").
                        Those two pages can be found in volume 3 of the German edition and the story title is the same ("Reinhardts Rückkehr" in German).

                        The German edition has a few drawbacks, though:
                        1. It's in German language of course .
                        2. The text is machine-lettered (not hand-lettered).
                        3. It doesn't have the original cover art.

                          Fantastic! Well, since going down this rabbit hole I have (after some extreme scouring of the net) found complete scans of issues 1-4. I have also just purchased Volume 3 of the German comic set to get issues 5 & 6. Luckily for me, I just happen to know German...however, I still want to translate the text to English. So we'll see how that goes. In any case, I fully intend to have read issues 1-6 in the near future here, and then I can rest my case fully satisfied.
