mark (7/2/2008)
The only major  change I would make is  that Leonard Nimoy's Primortals Vol 2 should have 9 copies under the BIG Entertainment brand. Issues 0-8 with no variants.

Also, there were several issues that came in poly bags. I do not know if there were non polybag versions.

I basically have the whole run (every variant cover except one). I do not have the  gold signature books or Lady Justice 1 variant.

So, if we add 7 books to your total of 155 due to the Primortals change it makes the new total 162 books. I have 156.

Thanks Mark. I could not previously see where I was getting a different total than other people were getting.

Earl.

TEKNO COMIX

Tekno Comix was an imprint of Big Entertainment. This American company published comics between 1995 and 1997 using high profile writers as brand names even though the comics themselves were often written by others.

TEKNO COMICS FIRST ANNIVERSARY BAGGED books from Jan 1996. The bag has on the outside the words:Tekno Comic First anniversary and says there is a Free comic inside along side the Tekno logo

There may be more of these but I have found four so far. Here they are:

1)IBOTS  3.  I have two of these. The first has Lost Universe #7. with the IBOTS #3.  The second has Primortals #2. with IBOTS #3.  No clue if the extra book is random or not.

2)  Mike Danger #7 which is bagged with Xander #1.

3) Teknophage 8. I have two of these. The first has Lost Universe 1 with the Direct UPC. The second has the Lost Universe 4 variant cover with NO UPC.

4) Mr Hero 13. I have two of these. The first has Mike Danger #4. The second has Primortals #3

I also DO have a Gold Signature Ibots #1 in my collection. It looks like it has 7 signatures in Gold but i do NOT have a COA with it. I am not aware if there were any at that time. Anyone else know?

I also have two copies of  both Lost Universe #1  & #2, and IBOTS  Vol 1(Tekno) #7. The covers are EXACTLY the same. The only difference is the UPC in which one says Direct Sales and the other does not. UPC numbers are also different. Not a variant but noteworthy that there are newstand copies out there.

Also found Wheel of Worlds 0 Special Edition and Mr Hero #4. Same cover except one has a UPC and one does not.

I'll compare mine once I've found a few more of Bill's Tekno's in his collection...

I have a few of the poly-bagged and one of the Gold Sig (I don''t think mine has a COA either)...and I should have all of the variant covers now...

And at least one set (many duplicates) is VF-NM...
