For some reason, probably sluggish sales, Marvel paused publishing Captain Marvel with the August 1971 cover date and a 15 cent price.  It was resumed over a year later in 1972, and so these are the only two picture frame Captain Marvel issues:

Repackaged Atlas reprints of white jungle adventurers, the title would in a few months become home for an entirely different new series, featuring Black Panther and a diversity of characters, and set in the mythical kingdom of Wakanda.

New cover art by John Buscema, recognizable from the distinctive look of the beautiful damsel in distress, and Gil Kane, recognizable by the anatomy rendering and the massive calves.

A recent upgrade.

Remind me to give you the list of all the 9.8s you need to go buy so that you can sell me your 9.6s.

  I picked up more than a few stellar copies for my own slabbed collection that way as well.  Still got this one, after cracking it out.

BTW, that Spotlight #6 is an incredible copy.  I've always liked that cool Ploog cover and interior art, too.

Don't sell your 9.4s just yet. I keep trying to upgrade to 9.8s but my bids keep getting obliterated.

Nice Avengers #98!  For whatever reason this particular book seems to be pretty plentiful in super high grade.  My copy (purchased for $28 23 years ago, don't have a scan) graded out to 9.8 WP.

Doc Savage was a popular pulp adventure hero created in the 1930s, decades before Marvel issued their comic book version of the character in the early bronze period where they started up a large number of new titles.  The series, unfortunately, never caught on with the buying public and only lasted 8 issues plus one giant-size reprint comic, starting with these two picture frames.  The first ish has John Buscema cover art, the second Jim Steranko creating a fantastic Central American Mayan spectacle, and the interior pencils for both are by Ross Andru.

Did somebody mention an obsession with upgrading?

I very much enjoyed reading Doc's exploits when they were reprinted by Bantam.  Little did I know at the time that they were reprinting the pulp stories out of order.  Still, I looked forward to each and every new paperback when they were released.

It only took me five tries to get satisfied.

That's a very sweet batch of books.
