Hawkman #4 CGC 8.0

 

This too! 

If you're a DC guy then any Batman Silver Age villain key.  Batman 121, 155, 171, 181, 189.  Great base for a beginners collection, lots of room to grow and will always be in demand.   

Any number of Fantastic Four Silver Age keys.  Best bang for the buck is FF 67 (1st Warlock)

Mine too...

 

Way better than the actual comic book!  

Will own one someday but not at these prices.  

It all looked great but it all comes down to Hela!!!!

Best villain in a trailer ever.  Completely bad .  Will be looking to buy every Hela comic ever made. 

It's going to be one of those characters where you need to own both books 27 & 28.  

I can only imagine your reaction when you unwrapped both of those beauties!  Awesome books.  Congrats! 

This is a perfect example of collect what you like.  I love FF 67 and always have.  It has everything I want for one my favorite Marvel characters.  Origin, cocoon and HIM all wrapped in one of the great iconic covers of the Silver Age AND still somewhat affordable.  Everyone has made strong points but I know what I love and that works for me.  

The argument for Thor 165 just does not compare to other examples being used: 

1. Hulk 180 & 181 

2. Spiderman 299 & 300 

3. X-Factor 5 & 6 

4. Fantastic Four 48 & 49

There are quite a few different reasons.  The biggest is the time difference between so called cameo and full appearance.  Each of the above issues occurred within one month of each other from one issue to the next.  Marvel meant to create anticipation so they teased the character.  The two year gap between FF67 and Th165 shows Marvel had no desire to tease the character.  They told the entire story across two issues.  FF66 is the actual cameo or teaser to his full intro in FF67.  

Add that to the multiple panels of the cocoon, multiple panels of HIM, multiple panels of HIM talking in person, in cocoon and fading away into oblivion as well as the entire two comic storyline based on HIM's origin and creation and you have a lovely all time classic Kirby/Lee storyline in one neat two issue installment.

What gets me with no disrespect to Neal Adams who is a great artist is Jim Starlin wrote his own stuff and created more memorable characters,yet Neal Adams is considered the king of bronze age artists by a landslide compared to Jim Starlin. I could go back and read the Jim Starlin Warlock Masterwork and it is not dated. I did not have that same experience when I re-read the Denny O'neil/Neal Adams GL/GA or Roy Thomas/Neal Adams X-Men. 

Totally agree.  Neal Adams has a beautiful realistic and unique style but Starlin had gorgeous artwork with the even better writing on top of that.  I think Starlin gets less credit because he was not as prolific over time whereas Adams has been going strong in the industry consistently and is still a force.    

About time for this thread.  Stalin was brilliant and the Marvel Cosmic Universe is his baby and genius.  Yes, he did take ideas freely from Kirby's World but he expanded and took it in directions Kirby could not.  In the process he improved Captain Marvel and Warlock and create the force that is Thanos.

I am re-reading the entire Starlin Warlock and Cap Marvel run and it is awesome.

I think all Jim Starlin stuff is vastly underrated. What makes him stand out from most other hot 70s artists is Jim Starlin actually wrote his stories. He was Frank Miller 5 years before Frank Miller! lol.  Starlin also created Drax and Thanos. Not to shabby for a resume..

Could not agree more.  Starlin was writing stuff that was so beyond anyone else at the time that it boggles the mind.  Smart,creative and trippy.  Warlock was a fairly lame character that was going no where with his band of teenage friends and he gave the character depth and life.  I am also a huge Frank Miller DD friend and they both did similar great things but Starlin created this outstanding cosmic universe as well.  I am re-reading the entire Starlin Warlock & Cap Marvel run and still enjoying it.     

I saw him at a show in Houston in 2016.  I should have pulled the trigger right there.  He did sign my Swamp Thing #1 though.  

Savage Dragon for life! 

Cool!  Love Bernie.  Great guy.  Hope he is feeling better.  Would love to own a Swamp Thing sketch.

Hope to see them all graded one day soon.

Wowza!

Not a Creepy collector but had to check out this thread because I laugh at the title everytime I see it.

New Mutants 25 & 26 have jumped to over $40 for the pair NM raw due to the solid debut of the Legion show on FX. 

I have to watch that show.  Everybody is raving about it.  I didn't think it would do so well.  Have to go digging for my NM 25 & 26.

It's all-things-comics. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I love how those guys always bury the color touch note.

I gotta get back into this club. Who's selling a nice mid grade copy?!? 

Smart move to get back in but anyone who sells before the first movie is probably walking away from the hobby or paying bills.
