“upcycled” is another new and interesting way to say “destroyed”. (Do you have something old that others enjoy, but not in good enough condition to gouge someone over? You could accept it and just let it go cheap to your FLCS, or you you could make money from hipsters convinced that it’s better as a custom napkin set!)
It’s strange that people keep slicing up comics this way. If you had a friend who loved ordinary books, you probably wouldn’t go to Half-Priced Books looking for a nice, cheap hardback that you couldglue shut and turn into a decorative doorstop for her.
