OVERSTREET COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE #35 (Random House) (May 2005)

I don't believe in price guides, I think a price is really determined by geography and demand. Even if the book says something is valuable, it doesn't mean that is how much someone would pay for something…

The cover is a recreation of NEW TEEN TITANS #1, but the art has definitely improved with Perez doing his own inking, with new colors by Tom Smith. The same art and interior content was used for the direct market of OVERSTREET'S BIG, BIG OVERSTREET COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE #35, but it is spiral bound instead of book bound.

Between the two, the Random House edition features a larger cover art and is readily available at most book stores (I found mine at a Borders Book).

This 1073-page, mostly black and white, book is pretty heavy. The paper is semi-glossy and looks pretty sturdy, but very thin. Of the 150 pages of content (not including the actual price guide), there is a three-page article on the Teen Titans and Crisis.

The article was written by J.C. Vaughn and is entitled, "Teen Titans at 25, Crisis at 20". For those too poor to buy the one of the 4 different version of OVERSTREET #35, fear not, I will transcribe the article sometime in the future.

My only complaint about this book costs $25 and has over 120 pages of advertisement - they are all together at the beginning and ending of the book.

(excerpt) Jeff Vaughn: We do produce basically three version now, for each industry. Increasingly a juggling act. We do one for Random House for the book rate. They get their own cover, but we later use that when it comes out a month later when we do the big spiral bound. Which we call the "Big Big Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide". This year's case is the New Teen Titans by George Pérez. And, we do another cover, the one this year is Iron Man created by John Synder III.
