One of my favorite science fiction films is Disney's 1979 opus The Black Hole. And befitting of a major motion picture release from that time frame, there's a lot of tie-in merchandise which is out there. And now, some more of it is mine!
I picked up on eBay a very nice set of Whitman's The Black Hole #1-3, for a cool four bucks post-paid. The first two issues of the series adapt the movie, and then the third issue (as well as the fourth) continue the adventures of the survivors in a new galaxy formed beyond the black hole. Having never seen this at a show, and being too young to look for them when they were originally published (honestly, given the coverdates of March - July 1980, I was most likely not even alive when these first came out), these are a great find. Definitely looking forward to reading this bad boys.
Issue #4 is very difficult to find, but now I am on the hunt!
(On a side note, my father recently was going through all of my brother and I's old Disney Book & Record sets. Guess which one he pulled out for me? That's right: The Black Hole. I don't have a turntable, unfortunately, BUT someone was kind enough to make a recording of the disk and put it on Youtube, so I'll grab that and make a CD thankyewverymuch!)
