I don't know why I picked up JUDGE DREDD off the stands, especially for me, with a red cover.... Maybe it was the PRINCE BUSTER song that was playing on KALX ("I sentence you to 500 years!"). Maybe, it WASN'T the "He is The Law" part, but moreover, the bashed skinhead, and a Dead Kennedy's 'Nazi Punks Flick Off' feeling I had then, and still have to this day (sexism, racism, agism IS obsolete). Nevertheless, I REALLY like the character(s) and BRIAN BOLLAND's art. I bought ones (I think) and threes from Rory (...great COMIC BOOK guy!), at THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS, and ones (, but NOT threes) from another great, distributor Bud Plant, Inc., in Grass Valley, California (... , BUT I have gotta find that BP INVOICE! ...to make sure. These all might be direct sale newsstand copies, from RR and BOTW. DID I buy forty copies off the stands?!) (I swore I sourced them from both, but I gotta make sure. ...more later.)
..., AND the copies off the [Best of Two Worlds] stands were more IMMACULATE than, fresher than, the BP copies. Those BP books all seem to have solid 1/8th inch flecks at the top, and/or bottom of the spines. I guess it was box-wear. (I know there was a difference....) Recently, I could not recall the difference between the two, but after digging them out, having them third-part graded by CGC, and.... (Sometimes, interestingly, I could tell, Rory hated it when I did that ..buy a stack of ten copies! I couldn't figure out why, but I guess he didn't like it when I bought alot of what he liked too.) Besides, I'd go in to Best of Two Worlds, and if I found a NEW (i.e., cover-price) comic book on my target list, I'd carefully pick up a stack, letting gravity do the work, and either select or not. Usually, if the books were good, one could skip maybe a top copy or two. ...same for the back copies. Generally, they would NOT BE MIXED; if they were bad, then most were that bad; if they were that good, it would behoove one to be more selective and make the sale.
That's what I did with these. (I remember the poorer copies, and I swear, getting ones in the mail. Maybe, I only bought ones and threes after I saw what came from BP that time on an order of ones. I'll have to get the remainder going, and see what's up.

It is entrirely possible that this 9.8 has barely nary a fingerprint on it!
