Bronty Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Oh wow, I see you won it for 2250. You lucky SOB great pickup I was worried I'd seriously let my heart rule over my head and overpaid. I thought it was worth it though. Good to hear that Iv got a great book at a fair price. for whatever reason, perhaps because of the fact spidey is in #15, or because of the high amount of ditko content, it seems to be a run priced at a bit of a premium compared to the four main titles' books of the same date. So the price is just fine IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 My 1st and only pre-hero marvel. It could be love A mark wilson buy, no? was he negotiable on pricing? I remember seeing it listed for 4k (?) Big congrats This was a clink pick up for me. Iv never bought a pre-hero marvel before, but this has long been one of my favourite covers of any marvel comic book. I know it was a big step to take when moving into a new period of marvel books than Iv collected before but I couldn't resist. Unfortunately due to this I'm not sure of the books history before my purchase. Would certainly be interested to find out Congratulations! That's an outstanding pre-hero book to start with!

And then this comes along yesterday; it's my first pre-hero Marvel slab: Awesome book. I've never owned a copy of that particular issue, congrats on the pickup! 7.5 is my sweet spot for pre-hero; great eye appeal but not quite into the nosebleed prices on most issues.

sacentaur Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thnx for the feedback, I really like 7.5's also for eye appeal and for a price break (though from what I'm hearing and the sales I've seen, the Guide is behind the times on these books). Right now, the TTA 15 is just a single Blip on my radar; there's more potential bogeys incoming from where it came from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Steve. I feel sorry for you You'll be done with pre hero marvels before summers out Ahh. A good question for the advanced pre-hero collector...what to do once you have collected ALL the Marvel pre-hero books? There are a number of paths (or combinations thereof...): 1) Start collecting the "monster apocrypha". Such as the monster issues that cross into the Atlas Western and Romance titles. 2) Start collecting Ditko Charlton Anthology titles. The art and stories vary in quality, but there are a (very) few gems there that are just as good as some of Steve's Marvel pre-hero stories. 3) Charlton Monster comics - issues of Konga, Gorgo, Reptilicus... 4) Star Spangled War Stories - dinosaurs, dinosaurs, and more dinosaurs! 5) DC Sci-Fi anthology titles - great art, great stories. Its particularly fun looking for Marvel prototypes in these DC books! 6) Harvey Sci-Fi anthology titles - lots of decent Kirby stories (maybe even a Marvel prototype or two!). 7) Crestwood titles - Black Magic, Strange Worlds of Your Dreams, etc. lots of good 50's Simon & Kirby horror/fantasy. Any other suggestions? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
