Looking at February 2017 (most recently published) sales data on Comichron, top 25 sales of comic books, Marvel has only six titles in the top 25, and of those six, two re Star Wars comics, so technically throw those out because those are licensed publishing.  The net result is that Marvel has 4 books in the top 25 with its own proprietary characters.  By contrast, DC has 18 books in the top 25.  

Disastrous.  Wonder what Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Jim Shooter think of all this.

Disney owns Marvel. Disney owns Star Wars. So they do have 6 books in the top 25. 

Bought two G. A. 's : Superman 72 and Detective 173. Both from Graham Crackers Comics. I bought other comics, mostly S. A. And Bronze  from Torpedo Comics, High Grade Comics, Greg Reece comics, Harley Yee, and Bedrock City comics. Graham Crackers had a lot of low grade DC's. Wish I would've bought a few more. The dealers who I dealt with were very friendly and made my buying experiences very pleasant. A shout out to Bedrock for our nice little conversation. and to Rob and Steve of Torpedo Comics who have been really cool both times I've dealt with them the last two Wondercons. Buying a backpack with a built-in seat for my wife was a godsend for both her and me. 

Much improved

Thank you both!

If it matters. I know the name of the buyer. I know the name of the owner of the store who was the intermediary in this transaction. I saw the book and had it in my hands for a brief moment. It was at least NM imho. The owner was a bit more aggressive than I had been in his handling of the book. He may have caused "slight damage" along the spine where his thumb had grasped the book. Maybe not, but the way he handled it bothered me. Thought I'd add my personal experience. I know there is more to the story after the transaction was completed. The guy who owned it may have been involved in an insurance scam regarding the book but that was hearsay passed to me after the fact. as I had left the "circle of trust".

Hi GAtor, what pedigree if any was the Captain America Comics #1 sold by Verzyl in the early 90's for $5k? Is this the Cap #1 that mysteriously disappeared?
