Anybody else buy this when it came out?



I did, i thought it was a little bit lame even back then.Prince battling his alter-ego.Plus the cover is very misleading, the artwork inside was done by a trained baboon by the looks of it.



















This was just an excuse to post a nice pic! smile

errr sort of , one of my employees bought it for me , which I thought was really sweet - they knew I liked comics and that I liked Prince.

I thought it was a bit crap , but it is special for the sentiment involved from the person that bought it for me and it still sits in a plastic cover with the rest of my comic collection.

Now I don`t follow comics (having finally grown up) I wonder if this sort of thing still happens today - is there a Justin or Christina or Eminem version of this comic ?

Yeah, but I have it for sale now if anyone wants it.

It was crappy and I was into getting everything.

Embarassing and geeky. I don't know if Prince approved of this thing. But there was a series of Rock comics...and well, this may have marked the beginning of the end...okay well, there was no end but at least a spiral of mess of the mid 90's. Parke!

Yeah, I have the other one too.

I thought it was kinda neat, I guess it showed how big Prince was at the time.

I wanted to buy it but I couldn't find it anywhere. My sister, who worked at a book store at the time, was supposed to get it for me when it came in but it never did.

Inside PP there is a blown up, framed version of
this picture...so I would guess that Prince
authorized it.

I have this also...cool cover.

The "other one" has Prince on his motorcycle on the
cover. It's made by a different comic company.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Actually, there are 3 comic book versions of Prince stories out there. I was able to get multiple issues of each of those and gave a few away to friends 10 years ago. They are more novelty items than great stories and art.

I too own this great looking cover but corny story comic book. Between you and me, I will probably never sell it.

Thanks for the posting that picture. I knew there was a comic book out there but that's the first time I've seen it.

My brother got it for me. Gave it to me for my b-day, but not before he took swipes at it. He used to love P, but hates him now. I still have this...
