  1. Looks like Greg Reese may have squeaked out a profit on this one.
  2. Check out early Captain Marvel stories. in Captain Marvel Adventures. The "Monster Society for Evil" ran for 2 years in issues 22 through 46! Has any other story run that long or longer?
  3. There was also a find in 1992 of Iron Man #1 and Iron Man/Sub-Mariner #1. Guy was selling them at the Dallas Fantasy Fair in blind paper bags. He guaranteed any you bought were at least vf/nm and, after buying and looking at the book, you could exchange for a different blind bag one time. $300 a piece and there was almost a riot of people trying to buy them. I think he limited it to (3) copies maximum of each. I bought (3) Iron Man #1s. Sold them all way before CGC. I know where one of the copies is and I've tried to buy it back numerous times but the owner will not even discuss it. The guy selling at the Fantasy Fair told the story that his dad worked for the distribution company and just ended up with thousands of unsold or returned comics and magazines. MOst were $5 or $10 books but then he had a few hundred of these. Guy selling made an absolute killing in cash that day.
  4. They are not Japanese; they are Chinese. That symbol on their caps is the Symbol of Chiang Kai Shek's Nationalist army which retreated to the island of Taiwan.
