    Agreed; I have that full run as Essentials, for reading and enjoying. Colan Dracula very different from Trimpe Godzilla. Apologies to the Hot Bronze purists for any brief derail; my main point in my Godzilla story is I think the title is finally having its Scooby/Star Wars moment, where cross-generational pop culture status finally equals a first comic book appearance bump. (Of course, long-time Golden Age guys can caution us that the long term can look like either Batman or Tarzan, but all three franchises are a ways off from a Tarzan fate currently.)

    Yeah, I bet it would, but I couldn't think of another compilation.
  19. Readcomix
    I’m hardly an expert, I mostly bought them off the rack like you, but the b&w Marvel Essentials is the only compilation I know of.

    It’s me. I’m the guy. I chased Godzilla #1. Of course, it was because I had bought #2 off the racks and was devastated that I missed the first issue. I was 10 or 11 and loved Godzilla. A couple years later, I mail-ordered a #1. I think it was north of $3. If there’s an argument for #1 or the whole run being undervalued, more than the new movie (though I’m sure that’s the KCC argument) it’s really the Star Wars and Scooby Doo arguments. At some point, the collective collecting psyche decided the 1st comics of these properties (Star Wars fairly recently) ought to be worth a whole lot more due to their durable, cross-generational pop culture status. Godzilla fanhood crosses generations now too; that’s his best shot at becoming a more valuable back issue title. FWIW, the 24-issue run is a lot of fun: we got Red Ronin, the doofy monsters of Dr Demonicus, Yetrigar the giant Sasquatch (due for a return), a battle with Devil Dinosaur, a battle with the Champions, even a two-part NYC invasion that leads to a slugfest with the FF and Avengers, kind of a homage to FF 25 & 26. I still have my original run, every issue signed by Herb Trimpe. I keep saying I’ll read it one more time and sell it. I keep dragging my feet.

    Ginsberg in da houz!!! Congrats to buyer and seller!

    That's a really strange listing, worth the read. The green label includes incomplete (hence the .5 I guess) AND Married Wrong Page (hence the Qualified, I guess -- married pages). I read the seller's description in an effort to figure out what "Married Wrong Page" means, but I'm more confused. The seller says the married pages are from an "older reprint of X-Men #1." If the married pages are not from an actual 1963 X-Men #1, how's that different than a coverless with a repro cover?

    I paid cover price for Dazzler #1 when it came out.

    Ok, other than a couple odds and ends that I want to read first, that’s it for this thread. Those couple will straggle in. I will leave this open a bit, as people don’t check Mixed as frequently as the other two, it seems. I plan to also open a Golden Age thread, starting with a bunch of Fawcetts, and maybe adding some others. I’ll try to get to that this weekend, and I’ll close both threads when that one is concluded.
