Sharp! I still find it kinda surprising that people pay $20+ to have a company grade their comics for them, when in my head these are still new books worth under $20. I really need to get with the times! I wonder if this is how guys who read comics in the 60's felt in the early 90's.

I remember way back in the day, key issues were first appearances, and origin stories. Does anyone care about origins anymore?

I just preordered! Is Neal Adams stil alive?

Yah, I could be misremembering, but while it was iconic (was in the posters in Cap 400) I never remember it being a high price. Then again, I haven't seen an early 90's price guide since the early 90's I remember drooling over Cap 332, which was around $10 at the time, but don't remember much else in the 250-400 range being really a stand out. But again I'm going off of a 10 year olds memory from 25+ years ago. I need to hunt down an old copy of Wizard. Its a fantastic cover, and I've wanted one for a long time, might have to jump on one sooner than later. The other one I still feel is a bit undervalued is cap 332. Was my biggest key back in the day.

I dont ever remember it being a particularly valuable or sought after book, but I agree, it has an iconic cover. There's just a ton of them out there and not many people looking for it I guess. I actually was putting offers on graded copies of it not that long ago.

Pretty much. I can't imagine a world where FF1 falls behind ANY hulk book. Ever!

This man is a red-blooded american *salute*

Thanks for the response. Browsing their website, can't see really what they have, but it looks like a sale will be coming up in a few months! All Golden/Silver/Bronze Age and Wall comics: 25% off! I might have to get over on that side of the mountains

Love these covers. What song is it on that Christmas Funnies 5?

Almost always the case for me as well. Actually got lucky last week and came across a small stash at a shop's dollar bin of early 50's little lulus. Hey, I take what I can get sometimes Are there any decent shops in Seattle that anyone knows of?

Oh wow, you re right. The iron sword and has copyright 1989, and the book says it was published in 1986. I'd always assumed they marked the reprints. Thanks!

Exactly. I picked up this book (and several others) in multi-pakcs from K-mart in 1993, and didnt realize it was a reprint until years later (at which point I threw it away, kinda wish I had kept it now). Going through my batbooks, and I still have a Batman 399 that I'm positive came out of those multi-packs, but it doesnt say anywhere in or on it that its a reprint.

They look pretty sharp, got them watched.

Supes 23 no question. That cover is just.....amazing.

I'll have to dig through my old boxes again I recently gave a box of newer books to a friends son, and as I was showing him how to bag then, I found a fun piece of trivia. An archie book from the mid 80s has the girls commenting on Archie Snowsurfing. If I remember right, snowboarding in the mid 80s was still pretty new, and not many people were doing it/aware of it, so it was fun to see it on a archie cover early enough that there wasn't even a set term for it yet.

Haven't really had the chance to sit down and read it yet, but it looks like it takes place at near some place called Hart's Island, and later mention leaving a bar and walking to 130th street. Can't pull out a city name yet, the book's a bit brittle, and looks like some tape was tried to fix it some time ago making is slow going.

It was a series of these BS cash grabs that slowly pushed me out of comics. Supes wasnt dead, we had years of funeral for a friend shenanigins, with who of these 4 mystery heroes might be superman? The Cyborg? John Steel? Some Robot? Or a horrible teenager? Knightfall. Knightquest. Knightsend. The last decade of spider-man is all fake news, the REAL spiderman died around issue 149 and the spidey you all grew up reading was just a clone! Oh lordy.

Exactly. And anything CLOSE to that amount, you need to insure.

Not a pulp per say, but I love the cover and figure this is the best place to share it.

Is there any good resource to compare GA books and how they've grown/depreciated over the last few decades? Other than getting a pile of oversheets and comparing

So you're saying I have a chance!?

Can't quite think up a suitable "ill get you, you dirty rat" joke to go with this crime book

Finally got my first precode EC, and it's gorgeous. Happy to finally reach this small milestone

Sorry for the barrage of questions, after making the post I started reading through this topic now feel a bit insensitive. Sorry for what happened to your store, and I wish you the best!

There's a cover-less copy of that book in the top right I have my eye on Good choices all around. edit: I'm wrong, disregard, wrong issue
