Harbinger 0 pink, slight non-color breaking bend lower left corner back/lower right corner front cover. Might still be VF/NM, VF+ anyway and pressable, I'd guess.

Unity 0 red VF to VF+ This one picked up a slight non-color breaking bend; probably a great press candidate.

Six-book lot for auction...all were purchased via PM by a great boardie in a recent sales thread of mine. But the package took a heckuva hit on one corner in transit and transferred the force to the books, so these formerly NM books are now in various stages of VF range. I refunded the buyer and thought and auction would be a fun and fair way to offer the books. I'll post each book, then the BIN and opening bid; once that post is up, we're open. I will set the BIN higher than the combined asks from my sales thread (to ensure we have an auction) and set the opening bid well below what I sold them for when they were NM. Auction opens once pix and BIN are posted; closes midnight EST Saturday night, April 18 (an 11:59pm time stamp can win, A 12 am is too late) Payment is check or money order; I do not have paypal. Shipping is $8 U.S. Priority Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime.

Agreed; not the star of series, but possibly the toughest one.

The Hulk in the run was definitely a robot. I don't know that there were any crossovers during or within the 19-issue run (it's been a while for me too) but Thor 300 wasn't too much later and they were integral by then. Sorry to take the thread off track-- my sense on the original topic is that the health and financial crises (they have separate roots, but the pandemic has exacerbated the financial rot, and the Saudi-Russia oil price war contributed too) have created extreme opinions among collectors as to what will happen to the comics market as a result of financial turmoil. I think there's some fear selling, there's some sitting on the sidelines, and there's opportunistic buying -- and some of those buyers are also sellers looking to free up funds for that buying. I think the various behaviors in the market reflect diverse and strong opinions about how this thing plays out in an economic sense.

Red Ryder Comics #1 (Hawley Publishing; 1939 per indicia, but Overstreet lists it as 1940) in Fair/Good to GD minus. Overstreet calls it scarce; 22 universals on census. Spine wear, some writing/blue ink coloring of white areas on cover (see cow, hat) but attached at all three staples. A couple interior leafs loose in middle but most attached, as is cover. This is one of the earliest comics to be titled after a single character (y'know, like that Superman guy), may be the first comic to employ the "turned-up corner" illusion on the cover, and features the first time Red meets Little Beaver...ahem... Anyway, Ebay comps: a very similar but slightly better-presenting copy (from the pix, anyway) went for $299 BIN; a worse copy (most wraps split, tan to brown pages etc.) is asking $150 OBO. Overstreet GD is $258. Take this copy for $225

What's new in your Silver Age collection this week

Ed, "problem title" is the best, most precise description I have ever heard for the Eternals! That was EXACTLY it reading it for the first time off the stands in 77 or 78. Suddenly, there's a new ancient, immortal race in the marvel universe, and not Thor, Dr Strange, Black Bolt, the Surfer, Reed Richards, Prof X, Dr Doom, no one has ever encountered them. And then in issue 2 you get a dozen giants who make Galactus look like a twerp. It was a LOT to shoehorn in at once, all because Kirby either didn't think of Celestials or couldn't get them past (more likely) DC editors in the early 70s. I love the King and consider him the single most important creator in comics, but that series was full of ideas he loved but just a few years too late. It was very "Chariots of the Gods" almost a decade after that book's cultural moment.

Glad you liked it! This one's under the radar and better than most of Drac's actual forays into mainstream Marvel herodom ... though Dr Strange 60 is pretty cool....when Dr Strange turns to the Avengers to help slow him down so Doc can take him out .... That story and this Thor battle show how formidable Dracula can be.
