Brushguy Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I'm out to collect all the Sam and Max comics (not all the individual books and compilations mind you - just the comics). I've got almost all of them, except for the 12 printed in the early Adventurer newsletters. Nobody on eBay seems to be selling them, so where could I find some scans (besides the three on samandmax.net, which I have)?
Jake Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 They're definitely in the Surfin the Highway collection, which despite being rare, is far easier to come across than the old Adventurer issues. That said, if youre absolutely out of luck, you can probably find scans of Surfin the Highway around if you go looking on your own.
toenail1 Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 old adventurers are rare??? i have one of them from when i was little http://www.roko.goe.net/~s140743/_html/main.htm they have all of the adventurer comics and a couple other strips (plus its a great website)
Jake Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Whoa he *does* have them all up, I didn't know that. I intentionally only ran the comics on samandmax.net that are ridiculously hard to find, since they aren't available in the Sufrin the Highway book. Of course, now that Surfin the Highway has become impossible to find, I guess that's the case for all Sam & Max comics. I wish they'd put out a new collection soon. And for the record, with a few exceptions (like the Adventurer comics), from what I can tell, Alex's Sam & Max page's content is basically a clone of my site, which is kind of annoying.
Zell Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 What’s wrong Jake, you are sounding nervous, as if Alex is cutting into your territory. I would be worried as well, especially since the site has not been updated since 2001. We all better practice up on our guerrilla warfare. Jake, I have never been able to find scans of surfing the highway on the net, and trust me I have looked. Further more, I have never been able to find a scan of "Sam & Max in the Office" from the fox kids magazine. Anyone knows where either of these fine periodicals can be obtained, because purchasing them in Australia is not a viable option. They are just too damn rare.
manny_c444 Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I bet you could find it on a P2p network...one specifically. But we can't talk about that, now can we?
Jake Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Considering I've found a full scan of surfin the highway before surely someone else can One might even find a thread about it on this very forum if they looked hard enough. And I don't really care about Alex's site, but back when it opened it definitely raised a couple of my eyebrows. It is a nice site though.
Skinkie Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 You mean nice... and invasive on your territory.
Jake Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Nah, the more Sam & Max sites the better... its just sort of cheezy to steal stuff. Of course I stole stuff when I started my site too, but I credited the sources stolen from at the bottom of the pages.
manny_c444 Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Well atleast his site looks different. I mean the background colors and stuff..........*cough*.
Brushguy Posted February 19, 2004 Author Posted February 19, 2004 Thanx for the link! But I thought Alex's site was declared dead!

Somebody could help out us Sam and Max fans and get on eBay, & bid for the 1998 issues of Fox Kids Magazine, if somebody's doing that. I wish I was into Fox Kids back in 1998 so I could have enjoyed Sam and Max. But I didn't become a fan of theirs until 1999 when Digimon was aired. Quote: --------------- Anyone knows where either of these fine periodicals can be obtained, because purchasing them in Australia is not a viable option.

By the way, did you notice the $75 Collected Sam and Max currently on eBay, SIGNED BY STEVE PURCELL HIMSELF!!!!!!!
Brushguy Posted February 19, 2004 Author Posted February 19, 2004 Jake, if you are ABSOLUTELY SURE "Something's Not Right Here" is contained in the Spring 1998 issue, I'll start browsing eBay for it. If I ever get it, I'll scan it and get it up here.
Jake Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Dont hold me or my comicography to anything I won't refund your purchase or something.
Samnmax221 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 If I was just 5 years younger I could own all those
Brushguy Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 Nobody seems to be auctioning any issues of Fox Kids Club, so would it be possible to get back orders from them now?
Samnmax221 Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 I doubt it Fox kids is now the FOX BOX and they dropped the series years ago 7 to be exact
manny_c444 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Well according to the news post our comic-book woes will end soon (sooner than later I should say). Since Purcell wants to re-release. This is great news.
Zell Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 For those who are wondering, Manny was referring to the new news at http://www.samandmax.net. For those to lazy to click the link, set eyes to read on: A couple quick updates for the curious. Many people recently have been wondering how to get a hold of Sam & Max comics. Its become especially difficult ever since the Surfin' the Highway compilation book was discontinued a few years back. Reader Tom Lau wrote in to say he asked Steve Purcell if and when a new comic collection would be made available, and here's his answer: That's probably the most asked question I've heard in the past few months. Yeah, that collection will come out again, [...] just have to pin down the gruesome details. We'll have more news on a reprint of Surfin the Highway (or a new different-named collection) if and when any more news presents itself. For those like myself, his is very good news indeed. I never had the opportunity to buy the comics and I would really like to get my hands on a copy.
LordKlay Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I actually own Surfin' The Highway, 2 Sam and Max comic books, printed by Comico an Fishwrap and a few Adventurers from back in the day. Unfortunately for anyone looking for this stuff, I got all of these things quite a few years ago (except for the comic books which I got at a con for $20 each). I would suggest going to comic conventions. I have actually seen a few copies of Adventurer there.
Dr Edison 007 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 So with the game cancellation, is the new book coming out? I have the collected, but it's in ragged shape (I got it from a library.)
