Owner's Description
Issue eight was the issues that could have killed me. My mom and dad have been divorced for a long time. At this point of my fathers life he was remarried and living in Ventnor heights. He was running a business for someone and it included a house directly over the bay. It was also a few blocks away from the ocean...and a couple miles away from a comic book shop.
I had no idea where it was, but one day I decided to trek out there and see what they had. I remember there was a bite in the air because I tried walking there on the sunny side. It was morning and a crisp air was still sweeping in from the ocean. I was young enough to get yelled at for walking this far away from home, but old enough to thin that jackets weren't cool.
I found the show before it opened, which was a good thing, but had to wander the streets forever (probably ten to fifteen minutes) until they opened.
I don't know how many I purchased, but the one that sticks out in my mind the most was a copy of New Mutants #8. I think I bought it for either a $1, or a $1.50. That was big money to me at the time.
This was the first cover that shows Sam in Peril. On the covers of issue 2,4, and 6 show young Sam "blasting", but here he is under the blade of who might very well be the newest New Mutant.
This was triple signed in Baltimore, as was the issues before.
We are also introduced to Amara Aquilla who would later become Magma. This is the first time the series produced a new character. Unfortunately we cannot consider the original team as such since they were either created in Marvel Team-Up #100 or MGN #4.
Signed by Sal Buscema and Bob McLeod on 9/7/13.
Signed by Louise Simonson on 9/8/13.
