Ugh, why is it impossible to find 'Captain Manchester' comics??!

I've been tryin' to complete my collection of the 'Captain Manchester' comic series from the early 90s. It's like these comics were chucked into the ocean or something! Only got issues 1-3 and 7. SOMEONE must have the others. This is driving me mad!!!

Interesting to see someone else after 'Captain Manchester'. In terms of print rarity, these comics had a very limited regional circulation. Try contacting the original artists or authors, if they’re reachable. Some creators hold onto a stash of their old work, and it’s possible they might sell or trade if you explain your passion for the series.

Have you tried asking on other comic forums? Sometimes collectors are not very active on Reddit but might respond to threads on dedicated comic collecting websites.

Man, stop complaining and do the legwork. Hit every comic swap meet you can find. Check out Craigslist, Gumtree, Preloved, Facebook Marketplace. I bet they're out there, just gotta grind to find em.

It's almost like these missing comics are a case for Captain Manchester himself 🕵️. Ever thought maybe they were limited print? Often stuff from the early 90s had runs that were super small. The publishers might not even have those records anymore.

Maybe Captain Manchester retired and took his comics with him to a secret superhero lair? 😆

UGH, same problem here!!! Can't find issues 4-6 anywhere. It's like they up and vanished with no trace. Makes you wonder if there's a secret vault of 'em somewhere.

Hey, 'Captain Manchester' fanatic here. These are quite the collector's pièce de résistance, aren't they? Your best shot is hitting up collectors' fairs and conventions, sometimes you get lucky. Also keep an eye on auction sites, not just eBay but the more niche comic auction houses & forums. If all else fails, consider posting a 'Wanted' ad in comic circles. Patience is key in the collecting game. Good luck!

lol I feel u, Captain Manchester is like a hidden gem that's too well hidden 😂. Have u tried reaching out to local comic shops over there in the UK? Some old school places don't even list their inventory online.
