Logan510 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I don't understand why people would want the Cat #1 when this is the real book to get: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Giant-Size-Creatures-1-High-Grade-1st-Tigra-with-Werewolf-By-Night-NICE-/351299176438?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51cb1007f6 I think the cat 1 is the book to get...ff 66-67, Thor 165 vs. Marvel premiere 1 argument that has been going on here for a while now... The Cat is the book to get for what? The Cat is not Hellcat. Greer Grant is Tigra, OK, so if you like Tigra you have to keep both the Cat mini-series and the Giant Size Creatures. Aside from this, anyone still insisting on the relevance of Thor #165 (story wise) have just never read the stories (or deliberately want to ignore a 40+ years of comics history). A cool cover, whatever you want, but nothing more. The story is also inconsistent. It's the one to get regarding bronze age books that are heating up on eBay... Ah! – wasn’t the hype about Hellcat, or Patsy Walker for what matters? That's what I thought too, but it seems it's the first appearance of the costume that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned a decent copy and sold it a while back and was looking to replace it with a better copy. This movie hype is eventually going to kill the back issue market. Its like baseball cards of old.

Tigra has been rumored to be a character on Agents of Shield for a while. I agree about the baseball cards to movies, once John Goodman played the Babe cards really took a nosedive.

Crimebuster Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The Cat #1 is a really good comic. #2-4... not so much. It goes downhill really fast. But that first issue had a lot of promise. I prefer The Cat to Tigra, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No one was questioning the Cat is a nice series (and I see what you mean about the following issues, #2 is good anyway). @BrianR: I did not imply one should look for a connection: in fact, I didn’t see any, but we have to acknowledge that this movie hype and bubbles influences the way we spend our money towards our collecting goals (which may be totally unrelated to movies). The Cat is undoubtedly one of the most interesting (limited) series done by Marvel at the time, with that cool idea to have female writers. In fact, it was one of the first ones I wished to have back when I started to collect. Well, I had a big love for Hellcat from the Defenders too, so seeing that originally the costume and identity were of the Cat attracted me furtherly to the character. What I don’t get is: why one should go after a first appearance of Tigra, Hellcat, whatever, when these shows clearly show they have a little to do with the original works. Even Daredevil, this new TV series. Ah Logan, I still miss a #144, you don’t happen to have a decent copy for a good price, don’t you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonzilla Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Everyone should get a copy of The Cat #1 just because Wally Wood's inks are incredible, that is for those who read their comic books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Less Blob Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I kind of remember the cat #1 being a sort of premium priced comic a long time ago, like selling for $10 when not a lot of non-X/Spidey, etc. BA books sold for that much. like in the 80s? it's fuzzy.

jbud73 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 $487 for a 9.4 Marvel Premiere 1?? I paid $260 (admittedly, would have been a GPA low) for my 9.6 ~ three years ago. People done lost they minds... Compared to the AA 11 craze or insert "Bronze Age 1st app. or significant event book with Black cover" here, the MP one is just getting its time to shine. Now granted its a little latter and probably not Luke Cage 1, but come to think of it, given where the Marvel movie story lines are going how much screen time to we envision for Warlock vs Luke Cage. So while it is no Bats 227, or even Thor 165, it is in the bubble, not the first, will not be the last so adjust your copies accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Less Blob Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So the earliest Tarzan comic book is the one to get if they make a film about Ka-Zar?
