I'll go there and steal the 1st issue.
I bet it's rare now.
Is it?

So wish I could go to this.

@anon: haha, well.... I think it's rare but not like, SUPER collectible. I think you could probably snag it for under $200 in Japan (someone correct me if I'm wrong there).

Most old issues of Garo from the 70s and 80s I saw (in decent but not great condition) sold for like $4-10 bucks at used book shops.

If you do swipe it, send me some scans okay?

@jimpac: you & me both, brother
