Colossus Gorgilla Gargantus Hulk Grogg Honorable mention goom/googam "The Martian" from JIM 57 & 58 - they even teased his return in #57, which was highly unusual. Poor guy didn't even make the cover on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 good info guys, thanks! A few of those are post hero though, my post referred to repeat appearances in the prehero era. A couple of those were new to me, I don't think I've ever read either of the Totem stories. Great book mysterio!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hulk annual 5 is why I was buying pre-heroes back in the 80s. People laughed at you for buying pre-heroes then. Who's laughing now, Indie-snobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah, eventually a nice book will fall through the cracks. I bought the #90 maybe 4 years ago or so, just after moving into my current house. I think I paid $30 so it was worth the gamble, which obviously paid off! It's nice to get the occasional winner to make up for all the losers from the Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's laughing now, Indie-snobs? I started collecting pre-heros after reading the stories in the 70s reprint titles. In the 80s I would look for nice pre-hero copies in catalogs and at cons. Those issues were usually found in the boxes under the dealers tables -- usually mixed in with Archies and Classic Illustrated reprints. Most of the time, they were really beat up, but every once in a while, you would come across a nice gem. I believe it was in the early 90s after several artciles about "prototyes" began to appear in Comic Book Marketplace and CBG that these books became collectible. Then WHOOSH! -- the prices took off and everyone was looking for these books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
