Finally finished my first full Batman run from start to end after 7 months

I was at a used book store in Portland last weekend and found the final issue I needed to complete the 1980s Miller run. Been hunting for issue #404 for over a year and it was sitting in a random dollar bin. The guy behind the counter even gave me a 10 percent discount when I showed him my full collection pics. Anyone else have a single issue that took forever to track down?

Dude I literally just read an article about how hard it is to find that specific issue because of how many people are chasing the Miller run right now. Apparently there's some print quality issue with #404 that makes the good copies Super rare. Took me forever to find a complete set of Grant Morrison's Animal Man back in 2018, I had to drive to three different shops across two states to get issue #19. The hunt is Real though, makes finding it feel way better than just ordering online.

@matthew166 that hunt is brutal but totally worth it when you finally score.

Used to think online was easier but you're totally right about the hunt.
