I always get my mags mixed up. That Super Action 1 is a 4-for-4 book though, and I inadvertently discovered the sale prices on the Vision reprint searching for the mag — it does reprint the classic cover, but it still seems crazy to me.

True it has the origin and the 2nd dominic fortune And others evidently it's a cool book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, speaking of the title, looks like the regular-size comic Marvel Super Action #18 (Avengers 57 reprint) is now a thing too. On the super action you said the #1 had the origin, when I said 1st origin was on marvel preview is why I said it has none of that You said 1st dominic when that too is marvel preview And the others you mention aren't on marvel super actions label either Hence my confusion Edited March 20, 2021 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my brain lumped it in with Mockingbird and Weirdworld (which for a long time I though first appeared in Marvel Premiere 38 — loved that comic when I found it as a kid, and I wasn’t much for other sword and sorcery books. But it was well done.) ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries I'll admit its confusing And if the origin doesn't differ, why does one say 1st origin It definitely can be confusing, maybe the origins in the 2 books do differ? And that's why 1 says 1st idk, I've only read marvel preview Readcomix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the one in Marvel Super Action kind of disturbing. If I ever read MP2, it was a billion years ago and I don’t recall, but I don’t think I’ve had a copy.

Marvel preview they're out for a picnic it gives a background of him that he is veteran but on a family outing, and gunmen show up, and he is instinctive and doesnt get shot and vows vengeance I don't know on marvel super action, but it could be a couple more pages of story after that sequence if I had to guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the Super Action once before selling it when I stumbled on it a few months back, but I remember it involved him shooting a woman (prostitute IIRC?) in bed.

I can't remember what I paid for my Marvel Super Action #1, but it was probably around $20. The Marvel Preview #2 was 40 cents around 1991 or so, even then it was clearly "The store screwed up" even if it wasn't high grade. I've since had it signed by both Conway and Chaykin; I'm happy with it. Readcomix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Preview #2 - 1st Origin Punisher, and 1st appearance of Dominic Fortune. Marvel Super Action #1- Origin and 2nd appearance Dominic Fortune, and 1st Weirdworld... You can pick up The Classic Punisher TPB as a inexpensive way to read the Punisher stories. That collects both of the 70s magazines Punisher story from Marvel Preview #2, and Marvel Super Action #1 in that reading order. 💀 Edited March 20, 2021 by nepatkm Reading order ADAMANTIUM, nmtg9 and grebal 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Bobbi Morse story predates MTU 95, I’m pretty certain, but I can’t recall if she has a different code name than Mockingbird in her costumed identity in MSA 1.

Once pressing became more mainstream, that changed the tide to GSX1. Most current census: X-Men #94 CGC 9.4 263 Giant Size X-Men #1 CGC 9.4 547 Now there are more collectors who collect keys, than collecting runs, which has hurt the 94 value. Interesting numbers for 9.4 grade. How are X-men 94 population numbers compared to GSX-1 in the other grades? I will say the rapid price correction is continuing for X-men 94 through the end of this week. Yesterday, a 7.0 copy sold for $1750 (congrats again @DocHoppus182) 8.0 sold for $2149 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
