FlyingDonut Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I had not been paying attention to this book, but it has really gone up since the movie announcement. Aquaman #11 Books from 1963 are not normally counted as the Bronze Age. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I bought the Hulk 197 on E-bay. I'm a sucker for Wrightson covers. I've been wanting a nice 9.6 or better copy for a while. The seller is usually good grader. One of the better on E-bay. Although I have to return this book because of some small tears on the back.

Korvac in my opinion is an underrated villian who deserves more attention and GS Defenders #3 is his first appearance. Not only that but it contains Starlin art and i believe reprinted Ditko and Everett art as well. Add to that the action packed cover with a Daredevil appearance to boot it has finally started to get some notice. Oh year it is also the first book that started off the Bronze Age Went through a random long box this morning before going to work and found a copy. Decidedly mid-grade, but that makes me think I probably have another 3 or 4. If only the GOTG one (#5) would sell, I have a ton of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 QC's book might actually be the stated grade, although the top corner on the back looks weird. I don't understand the numbers for Collector's Comics. You can look at the scans and see stuff. They're not even hiding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Since Gwen Stacy is such a key character in the Spider-verse what with all the SpiderGwen hype I wonder why Spiderman 144 hasn't really hit semi-key status. 121 broke off as the "winner" between it and 122. Issue 31 is the monster it is due to Gwen and not Harry Osborne (he's a nice add on too) 148 and of course 149 are the definitive Peter Parker clone issues. Yet 144 is sort of a non starter. Doesn't hurt that it is the clear start of a the Clone saga overall - Cover/Story. We can rag all we want on the good and bad of the clone stories over the years but they are clearly a huge part of Spiderman and still are to this day.

the blob Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah, I have been wondering when the clone books would get reactivated. frankly, they sell for less than they did when all of this happened the first time in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Wow. Looks like I will have to get my lowly 6.5 signed by Stan at the Calgary Expo for a SS submission instead of Avengers 1. If a 5.0 is worth $5K, then a 6.5 should be $6500? The bidding activity looks a bit suspicious....... Edited March 21, 2016 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
