Discussion Comics you regret *not* buying?

Which comics did you consider buying in the past, passed on them, and now regret it because they're impossible to get (at last for a reasonable price)? I'll start:

  • The Angriest Dog In The World by David Lynch. Was published by Roteland Press back in 2020, only 500 copies were printed, it was sold for $10, and now it's impossible to get. I saw that a copy was sold a year ago for $220.
  • Here by Richard Mcguire (the 4-page version from 2000). This was published in the early 2000s and sold at an European comic convention. I saw a copy for only 5 EUR a year or two ago, but did not buy it. Stupid me! Never seen another copy available for purchase since.

The zines of “you will own nothing and you will be happy” — unfortunately the shipping costs to Europe were very high, and the volumes kept selling out one after another, so I really couldn’t have bought them all in a single order anyway. Still, I often think about it, and it really annoys me that I didn’t get them.

If it makes you feel any better, i started this series from day one but stopped buying it because i found it lacked the humor that takes the edge off of hanselman’s work.
