Why is it out of print? What can be done to rectify this situation?
/not that I'm going to do it, but still. I'd buy it if it were sold at a reasonable price in a store (or an online store... hint hint).
I bought Surfin the Highway on Ebay 2 years ago. It was a bit painful to see the original pricetag on the back, but it was worth it. Never doing it away either.

What was the original price? And what does Surfing the Highway contain? All the comics from the previous issues or just a few of them each?
Surfin' the highway doesent have everything but it has most. I'd love to get my hands on it one day. Everytime I go to a comic book store I day dream of how awesome it would be to find it in a clearence section.
I already have every single page of it scanned in high quality on my computer as well as all the comics that aren't in it, but it would be nice to own the real thing.
Just a few months ago, I naively mentioned on here that I would scour some comic shops to see if they had any S & M used comics. Needless to say, I was told how rare they were.
Even though the rats in Telltale's games are necessarily supposed to be cute, I love Jimmy Two Teeth.
The original single issues are actually way less rare than the collection. They show up on comic book reseller sites and ebay pretty frequently and go for just a few dollars. The exception to this is Bad Day on the Moon, which was I guess only packaged as some crazy tie in bundle to something else, so fewer people have spares laying around. But, if you want some Sam & Max comics, your best bet is to ignore the collection and just look for the old books. There are about 3 or 4 of them.

Of course, if you're the sort who has to have ALL the Sam & Max stories, the collection includes some that appeared only in the LucasArts newsletter "The Adventurer." Though I wonder if you might be able to get old copies of The Adventurer on eBay as well....

I forgot about the adventurer. I think my cousin has the whole collection of those.

They're hard to come by, though there are a few on the LucasArts Museum site.
I have 2 copies of The Adventurer from buying a couple of boxed Lucas Arts games on eBay (Full Throttle and Fate Of Atlantis). I bought the games about 2 years apart and...
...they both have the same issue of the adventurer. ¬¬

As I enjoy pointing out wherever possible, I bought Surfin' The Highway for NZ$15 2 years ago. That's less than the original cost ($12.95 US is $18.95 NZ). And I will keep pointing this fact out to everyone until the day I die, as it is the greatest bargain I have ever had. It gives me warm fuzzy feelings deep down inside to this day.

Step two: Ebay
I'd buy it if I had some disposable income, but meh...

I keep mine religiously, but i bought it at standard price. I hate ebay for the prices inflating.
at 300 quids you pay 1.8 per page...
I also have Freelance Police Special #1, which originally costed $2.75. (I bought it for 8 bucks)

At least, that's my unofficial professional opinion... But it makes sense. That's why I'm not willing to shell out so much money for a copy
