Calling Sub-Mariner #34 1st Pre Defenders is basically a lie.

Agreed, I had a small stack and I don't think any did not have the cover coming around to the front.

ROM would never be in a movie, wait what did Gunn say? http://comicbook.com/2015/01/06/james-gunn-talks-about-the-characters-he-was-not-legally-able-to/

Gotta love it when those late 70s #1s that were formerly dollar bin (or just above) material pop to be $40+ items. She-Hulk 1 has been a steady $20-$40 seller for quite some time. I must be getting old, but I can remember not that long ago when I was buying these, Ms. Marvel #1, Spider-Woman #1 and other late 70s Marvel female character #1s in auction lots with multiple copies for a buck or two per book. If only we could see the future.......

Love those photo covers from Marvel and DC. +1

is this the prequel to T&A Force? No, it's the sequel to A.N.A.L. Agents of Smash.

You do realize the guy is technically blind miracleman or totleben? John Totleben has been suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. His condition worsened during the time he was doing Miracleman for Eclipse and although all the difficulties he managed to produce some of the most captivating pieces of art, such as MM15.. His sight impairment aside I think his current rendition to MM15 is just as eerie as his early work. Im a fan No, did not realize that. That's pretty badass for a person that can barely see.

NM, they went back to Totleben for the regular cover. Not feeling this one either.

This is actualy a big deal. Rare book that was never reprinted till now, plus you get new extras including a house ad concept art, the development of the original cover from sketch to inks to colors, scans of the original artboards of ten pages, character study and scene sketches by Totleben, layouts and sketches, and an unused layout page for page 19 Im alll in on that one It's the only good regular cover I have seen yet. All the other regular covers have been absolute garbage. Agreed, 15 is a Copper classic.

The fact that it isn't the first appearance of Spawn nor the first preview of Spawn is a pretty good reason not to jump on the bandwagon. Sure, for some it may be.

I think the cat 1 is the book to get...ff 66-67, Thor 165 vs. Marvel premiere 1 argument that has been going on here for a while now... The Cat is the book to get for what? The Cat is not Hellcat. Greer Grant is Tigra, OK, so if you like Tigra you have to keep both the Cat mini-series and the Giant Size Creatures. Aside from this, anyone still insisting on the relevance of Thor #165 (story wise) have just never read the stories (or deliberately want to ignore a 40+ years of comics history). A cool cover, whatever you want, but nothing more. The story is also inconsistent. It's the one to get regarding bronze age books that are heating up on eBay... Ah! – wasn’t the hype about Hellcat, or Patsy Walker for what matters? That's what I thought too, but it seems it's the first appearance of the costume that matters I didn't think or even care about the hellcat connection. The cover is cool as is the book. I owned a decent copy and sold it a while back and was looking to replace it with a better copy. This movie hype is eventually going to kill the back issue market. Its like baseball cards of old. Tigra has been rumored to be a character on Agents of Shield for a while. I agree about the baseball cards to movies, once John Goodman played the Babe cards really took a nosedive.

You don't have to jump on the bandwagon if you don't want to, but a week ago nobody was looking for this book. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Comics-/63/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=rust+1&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc

It's much more understandable than something like this/ http://m.ebay.com/itm/331384300040?nav=SEARCH

It's the Internet. Nobody is ever wrong.

Because of the return of the grey Hulk? I don't get it... +1 Unless there is something in the book I am missing like a 1st Appearance or something this is really Not anything to chase... Jeez just grab a modern reprint of hulk #1 Synopsis for "The More Things Change"Edit SHIELD has made a new genetic bath to cure Bruce Banner by making him control the Hulk. But something goes wrong, when Rick Jones notices that General Ross is fooling with the tank. At the same time Hulk is thrown in the bath. Rick and Ross fight, but the battle ends with Rick thrown into the bath too. Suddenly the tank breaks, and the new Hulk is born. He is Gray again after all these years. REALLY ! That's it and this is a chase book? someone tell me its more than Hulk being grey again ! Isn't the Grey Hulk from #1 actually a retcon which took place after #324 though? . I dont know how Hulk #1 can possibly be a retcon? He was grey in the '62 #1 issue because of a printing ink problem. In #2 he is green, he was never intended to be grey. #324 is the first true grey hulk. As I understand it you've got it backwards. There was generally a problem with the way comics were printed at that time ensuring a consistent gray (which makes sense if the gray is composed of cyan, magenta, and yellow; the printer would get variations if there were contaminants in the ink), so with issue 2 they decided to change him to green, which was easier to keep consistent from one issue to the next. http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2006/03/02/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-40/ (thumbs u Well yea, everyone knew that!

Any conventions coming up that they will be attending around the release date? Ill have to ask them, Gonna be in dirty joisy for the superbowl EDIT - duh, the book comes out on feb 25 I forgot.. Just spoke to the store and they said that they are trying to get Hughes for the signing on the release date.. Keep you updated I'm just asking because of their last exclusive, ASM 4, and the SDCC debacle.

sweet, 1 and 4 are the stars, while 2 and 3 are afterthoughts.. will be fun to watch. Don't sleep on 2 either. 1st Carrie Kelley as Robin.

I like this. Yea, after three pages of people basically saying the original statement was incorrect he wants to back away from it. What do you think happened to the books they had as kids? They probably still have them. Most of the people who don't still have the comics they had as kids in the 80s and 90s probably no longer care about comics.

The 4 issues together barely sell for above cover, go figure. It's all about the Skottie cover I had no problem getting $40 for a set. Well over cover. https://comicbookscalping.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/1421882063.jpg Everyone's going to go out and get themselves a 9.8 slabbed copy of Incredible Hulk #1 now. Now where did I put all of those? , except that's not the first true Grey Hulk.

Did you keep them at your parents or move them? Or still live there?

I missed that too. What If books, as a BACKUP story. This book cannot be compared to TWD Weekly, Marvel Tales, Marvel Super Action books for example because it has a totally new cover, by a hot artist and it's a collected edition of backup stories.

I can't fathom these late 70's Marvel #1s...which are among some of the most hoarded books in existence...selling for more than $3 raw. One LCS I go to has a short box of these. I think they are priced at $8-10. Shazam #1 is in that category as well, well used to be. yes - if you can get high grade Shazam 1s for $10, jump all over them. A year or more ago or so I saw about 4 at an LCS. Had no interest with them. But I did pick up their only copy of 28 for $8.

What do you think happened to the books they had as kids? They probably still have them. Most of the people who don't still have the comics they had as kids in the 80s and 90s probably no longer care about comics. That's a broad and generalized statement and therefor incorrect. People move, go to college, etc...if they can't store them at their parents place they probably sold them online or at a garage sale. Now they want some of them back.
