The ones in FF are aliens, whereas Kirby's Eternals are earthborn.  Very different, and no mention of The Celestials.  Given how long the ones in FF had existed, they would've been visited by several Celestial Hosts, so unlikely they're the same.  Coincidental naming, just like the obscure Punisher robot in FF, and the much more famous character.

Eternals 1 for me.

Or BULLSEYE from NICK FURY OF SHIELD.

I'm waiting for CAPTAIN VICTORY and his GALACTIC RANGERS myself.

Even in that condition it is still of value. I would not bother pressing. It is in too rough of shape. I would grade it only if you want to sell it. Other wise put it in a mylar bag with good archival backing and enjoy it.

Very informative. I suspect that you are correct that since SUPERMAN was selling well there was really no need to "up-date" him. It is is hard to pinpoint a specific event that would have Superman enter the "silver age". Perhaps his joining the Justice League perhaps?I agree that the SUPERBOY #68 is a greatly over looked book since Bizarro has been such a popular foil for Superman. I suspect though that once DC makes some annoucement using Bizarro his first appearance will sky rocket for an already scarce book.

Just got this in today off EBAY. Looks way better than the photos.

I heard ETERNALS is being developed.

Thanks for all the helpful information. I guess getting a particular issue on some characters may be very daunting. Here is what I have narrowed it down to but I admit my info could be spotty:

DETECTIVE 327-Start of the "NEW LOOK" Batman. While really late in the silver age this was the start of the new, modern, looking Batman. Agree or disagree? Others point to DETECTIVE #225 1st John Jonzz but that is more a 1st appearance rather than Batman's switch to Silver age.

ADVENTURE #250-Some have pointed out that this is the start of the silver age GREEN ARROW.

ADVENTURE #260-Some say this is the start of silver age Aquaman. While SHOWCASE #30 is the more in demand and higher valued book though.

WONDER WOMAN #98-I have always thought that #105 was the start but no I am beginning to think it might be #98.

Now SUPERMAN is harder to narrow down. I suppose his switch would have happened in the mid-1950s but what particular event or issue would it be?

I was wondering when the copper age ends and the silicon age (i.e. modern age) begin?

I vote when the NEW 52 begins.

What do you think?

I always thought the new WW origin was 3 parts.  It started in 98, continued in 99, and was retold and finished in 105.

So you think W #98 is the starting point? Its very confusing. Since I am sure these are scarce issues and are high $ I want to be sure to get the right one before I plunk down some serious moola.

While on the subject of WW, what issue is the official 1st appearance of WONDER GIRL. I know that the Donna Troy version appears in BRAVE and BOLD but is that her first appearance?

Having documented the evolution of the silver age Wonder Woman in detail, I would select Wonder Woman #99 as the first full Silver Age issue.

 

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I had always heard that WW #105 was the one since it contained her new origin.

Ok. I need help. With so many various and conflicting sources I am at my wits end.

I have started collecting DC comics again and need help in finding when certain DC Characters went from Golden Age to Silver age.

Aside from the obvious ones:

FLASH, HAWKMAN, GREEN LANTERN

what comic did the following make the switch from GOLD to SILVER?

WONDER WOMAN

AQUAMAN

GREEN ARROW

SUPERMAN

BATMAN

SPECTRE

PHANTOM STRANGER

DR.FATE

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to collect the silver age switches.

I just acquired a high grade lot of turtles from #5-50 of the regular series. What issues are of particular interest or keys? Any help?

I tried pretty hard to track down the Gold Digger Mangazine book and failed.  I ended up doing this book, which I am pretty sure has his first published work.

Awesome book dude! However, I think his very first published work is in NINJA HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK #1.

Here's an interesting tid-bit. STRANGERS IN PARADISE #1 1st prints are very rare. With a print run of less than 1800 copies and the infamous black cover curse very few of these are hard to find in high grade in the wild.

Hmm. that is strange. The label does say 1989 and #1 not #11. Someone fell asleep on the job here. Also no mention of GOLD DIGGER but I know it is in there since I own a raw copy.

Here's an extremely hard book to find from the early copper age. MANGAZINE v2 #9 by Antarctic Press. What is so significant about this book?It contains the very first appearance of Fred Perry's cult hit GOLD DIGGER series. A comic still running to this day with over 250 issues and counting!

P. Craig Russel! and JOHN BYRNE!

I know that hundreds of commissions are drawn every day! Let's share some of them here! I would also love to see unpublished art, sketches, thumbnails, or doodles!

Let's start of with some vintage MICHAEL GOLDEN goodness. I am unsure if these were from a portfolio or prints but they are dated from 1980s just as he as becominhg hot off MICRONAUTS!

I was just curious. They were photocopies of the original and not photocopies of photocopies. Thanks for your feedback. I may sell them as a lot. Might get a buck or 2. I will post more examples. Most are interior pages.

A person of few words and very direct. Thank you.

Photocopies of original pencil art

Ok. I do not know if this qualifies as "original" art but I recently obtained a huge stack of photocopies from an inker that used to work for Marvel and DC from the 1980s to the early 1990s. Almost all the copies are from pages he inked but before he inked them he would photocopy the pencils of the original art. The question is:

a. Is there any interest in seeing the original penciled artwork BEFORE it is inked?

b. Is there any value to the photocopies?

Hey guys, I got a general question. Are ashcans worth more or about the same as an issue #1 of a book? Do they hold their value like regular books? I have a Redneck ashcan that I'm thinking of either trading or selling.

that's a good question. I guess it depends on demand. Most don't seem to go for much. I have not seen any recorded sales of any significance.

Is it my imagination of has DOOM PATROL #99 begun heating up. I know high grade copies are difficult to come y but even low to mid-grade copies are getting into the $100 range. I used to see this book at $10-$20 all day long. Is the first appearance of BEAST BOY that hot?

One of my all time favorite books. High grade copies are just not out there for sale. Either they're all socked away, or they don't exist. I finally, after years of searching, found a strong 9.6/9.8 candidate at a con last year. Jumped on it as soon as I saw it. If there's ever any sort of tv/movie hype attached to the book, this one will skyrocket, because it's just not out there in grade in appreciable numbers. 

That is a beauty! It must be that black cover. Almost everyone I've seen has color breaks up and down the spine. You are very lucky to have found one in such fantastic condition.
