theholyidiot Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Does anyone know where I can get a copy for X-mas. Been looking for many moons now, and my patience is running out. Ah well, such is life. Any help would be appreciated tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Five years ago, it would have been easy. You're best bet is E-bay. (Paying through the nose.) Maybe they'll rerelease it to promote the new game or something... you can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theholyidiot Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Oh, I have been hoping. Unfortunately for me, I only discovered Sam and Max 3 years ago when my friend lent me a copy of it after I beat MI 1 & 2. (yes, I first played monkey island in '99. Eat me. That's a fifth of my life wasted on adventure games now, and I still don't care!) So, yeah. I heard that Steve was working on a new comic, and I was hoping that it would prompt a re-release of Surfin the Highway, but so far, nothing has been heard. Anyone else have more info on the supposed new comic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Hey, I'm a big SW fan and was telling a kid at school about a bunny in Jedi Knight. Yes, I knew it was Max from the game, but had no clue it was a comic. I want to read Sam & Max! The characters are so funny! Is there a place to read some mini-comics online for free to preview the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 "Is there a place to read some mini-comics online for free to preview the game?" I'm not sure what you are getting at with that at all... but I'm sure you can find some one page comics around... but not the full stories of the longer ones. Check Jake's site. (I don't know if he has put them up yet, he seems very slow with anything) And if all else... I know you might have an easier time just getting one of the four individual issues from somewhere online rather than the collection of these four.

Katarn07 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Yahoo Shopping. Type in the search bar: Sam and Max Collections. You will have a choice of stuff from Pyjama Sam (a pretty neat game, played it with my little sister once) to Surfin' the Highway. It's soft cover edition, 22 bucks. With shipping and handling, it was about 30 bucks for me. I'll have my oldest sister get me that and Hit the Road from LEC Store for XMas. I am obsessed with these two Freelance Police! I have been to a bunch of sites reading the few cells I can. Well, hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I hope that works. I hope Metallus can finally get a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Heh, I have not ordered yet, but the availability is not out of stock. Heh, there isn't even a rating on it yet. I hope I can get one too. I'll settle for Hit the Road for now if it is out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I put in the wrong search desc! I tried what I wrote and instantly paniced saying, "Where the heck did that go?!" The correct thing to type is Sam and Max Collected Hope that clears things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 More likely than not, Yahoo Shopping is incorrectly reporting them as "in stock," as pretty much nowhere on earth has any copies anymore. As for a bunch of one to three or four page comics, you can read a whole mess of them here http://unofficial.samandmax.net/old/comic.html on my old site. The new one is again massively under the knife, tag-team with Metallus and myself working on it. There's actually content now, but its still hidden away.

Erwin_Br Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 These prices are insane for a few sheets of paper But I'm no collector, of course. Some of the first Spiderman copies are worth a fortune, for example. Kinda weird. I only have one Sam and Max comic and that's the Freelance Police Special from Comico. Got it off Ebay for a few bucks. --Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Was it in stock? They have a bunch that are. I decided not to get it, and will try the library (when I get around to it ) That site's pics aren't there.... Yahoo has lots of stuff Amazon doesn't. It is totally under-rated.

Jake Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hm that's weird that the comics don't work on that site. Fortunately they've been re-uploaded to the new site. Here they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Rejoice! That is... if anyone is even paying attention anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Oh yeah, it's my fault that the images don't work on the old site. It was much faster to just move them to a different directory in ftp than to copy them. I guess I should probably put them back some time. Sorry all.

Katarn07 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I'm pretty tired to read 'em all. Got up real early to see LotR: TTT and went to bed quite late. But the ones I read were quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOJOJEN Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 GOT A COPY SELLING ON EBAY NOW AND JUST WONDERED WHAT IS MAKING THIS ITEM SO VALUABLE. IF ANYONE CAN ANSWER, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 It is outta print and possibly limited print as well. I don't know. Still never got to the library. I am sure my old library has it, just wish they'd hook up with my stupid one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 The people who bid on eBay generally don't have any idea of value anyway. Quite often, you can buy things (that are in stock) quite a bit cheaper on Amazon or Play. Fools. I hope Purcell sticks out a re-release, because I want to read these things.

SyntheticGerbil Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Foolish as they are, you still don't have a book either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
