    Welcome to my most recent Bronze Age comic sale.  I've got raw copies in a range of grades that are great for reading and filling holes in runs.  They're priced to move, so the listed prices are firm, and grading is conservative to ensure your satisfaction.  Clicking three times on an image will bring up the large high res scan of the front cover.

    The particulars:

    The first unconditional 'take it' via this thread or private message wins a book.  Payments are accepted via check or PayPal.  All books are guaranteed unrestored, except where a qualified production defect is noted.  Shipping is $13 in the US for up to 5 comics via Priority Mail, and $18 for more books than that.  Customers from all countries are welcome but you will be charged my exact shipping, which can cost a lot more than for within the US.  Comics may be returned within two weeks for a refund of the comic price, provided they are in the same condition as they were sent to you - since returns are a hassle for buyer and seller alike, and return shipping is not refundable, please take the time to peruse the large high resolution scans provided, and feel free to ask me via p.m. to describe in full detail from cover to cover and edge to edge the condition, flaws, and appearance of any book.  It's surprising to me how infrequently prospective buyers ask for this service, which I believe is even better than scans or photos at discerning details of condition and eye appeal.

    On to the first set of books, picture frame Marvels from the November 1971 to December 1972 time period, a strong era in Marvel storytelling and art.

    • Defenders #1
    • VF- ow/w pages
    • faint lower left and right corner creases responsible for the assigned grade.  There is a long horizontal production crease running from the right edge of the front cover through the title.
    • $95

    Sweet cover alignment, nice white cover stock and rich inks.

    Not a picture frame cover, so what is it doing here?  This ish was released with a December, 1972 cover date for which all of the other superhero titles were in the picture frame style.  The book portended the end of the picture frame era with the January 1973 cover dates.

    Terrific Gil Kane cover and story with Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, Hulk, and Subby.
