Lonzilla Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I suspect the Kamandi 1 at $32-something was good timing luck of seller (with a lot of similar era DC #1 in decent grades) and not indication that it's 'hot.' Could have something to do with the Kamandi Challenge series, maybe it's happening after being talked about for months http://www.newsarama.com/28743-dc-reveals-the-rebirth-dc-challenge.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Black Lightning TV show is being shopped around http://www.ebay.com/sch/Bronze-Age-1970-83/12590/i.html?_from=R40&_sop=1&_nkw=black%20lightning%201%201st&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 Wouldn't they first see if he is a popular guest appearance guy in flash/green arrow/supergirl first? This is a pretty obscure character. Heck, when he was in the Superfriends in the late 70s they weren't even allowed to use his name for some reason and called him Black Vulcan. I wouldnt call Black Lightning obscure more than I would, say, Wonder Twins.. And look at how much their first appearance is going for. TV show or not, this character is well known among people my age, I loved BL as a kid, more than I did Black Panther or Luke Cage, which I think were the only 3 major black characters on the DC/Marvel universe... Even Falcon didnt have his own title in the 70s. Why did Black Lightning not receive as much attention is beyond me My introduction to comics was through a science fiction/comic store where I used to get my Doctor Who stuff back in the '80s. I ended up getting a bunch of free comics at one of their trivia contests (when I got a free book for each of the Doctor Who companions I could name, and I knew them all), so I decided to sample some other books. One of my first purchases was the first 7 issues of the Baxter Outsiders series. It became my favorite series, so the Outsiders (including Black Lightning) were some of my favorite characters and will always hold a special place in my comic memories. I wish I could have met Mike W. Barr and/or Jim Aparo before either of them passed away. It would have been great to have signed copies of my original books. Mike Barr is still alive. I met him at the Gem City Con a couple of years ago. Super nice guy. I could have sworn I heard he passed away a few years ago. Good to know.

Jeffro. Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Isn't $32 still way under guide for a VF? I know guide is nonsense on that book, but still... Kamandi 1 in VF guides for $46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 That didn't seem unreasonable to me. That said comics4less has some really good books. I'm sorry to hear he was robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Isn't $32 still way under guide for a VF? I know guide is nonsense on that book, but still... Kamandi 1 in VF guides for $46 That's what I figured. 70% of guide is not exactly shocking. I don't think that is a book I've ever gotten out of a dollar box or anything (although probably a $2 or $3 box). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got several cheap many years ago by responding to one of those ads, probably in CBG. Got Kamandi 1, Black Panther 1, a few issues of The Cat, and some other 70s comics that were pretty much considered to be trash back in those days.

World Devourer Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Heh. I think if Warhawk appears in Iron Fist, Marvel Premiere #23 will take off. Of course, there's also Ghost Rider, debuting in the next season of Agents of Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
