Undervalued Bronze keys?

[spidrvacc]

I just checked some CGC sales and the labels list it as Thanos 1st solo story so i assume it is.

[seanfingh]

Was just reading this thread and A book I think belongs here is Logans Run # 6 . First Solo Thanos story , way undervalued . Its Thanks and his first story. Still cheap on Ebay. I actually had a few copies years ago as I was a big fan of the movie.

 

 

What exactly does it mean to be a "solo" story? The story is 5 pages long and has more panels with Drax the Destroyer than Thanos.

 

I think this issue is fairly priced but not for the forgettable Thanos/Drax story, but for the 1st Mike Zeck art at Marvel. I don't see this issue being way undervalued however. After all, the story is only 5 pages long and there is no cover appearance. In this age of encapsulation, a character needs to appear on the cover for a book to realize it's potential. For example, Incredible Hulk 271 versus Marvel Preview 7. A more recent example are the issues with the Winter Soldier.

 

A decent book for the Thanos or Drax collection, but I don't think it is undervalued considering how readily available it is in grade.

 

That is the best six page story of the Bronze Age. It is anything but forgettable.

Actually, I just found a better site with the 5 pages shown in their entirety:

It's not undervalued at all. If anything, it's a bit inflated. A LR 6 in 9.8 runs anywhere from $225-$350, and this has been steady for awhile. I was away from the hobby for the last few years, but it had it's big price spike a little while back. I'm sure JC or someone else can chime in more about that. And then there's the fact there are plenty of them out there.

Okay.

 

I didn't say best story, Captain Reading Comprehension. It's the best six pager. (Or 5 pager if that is what it is). I was 7 when I read it first, and I understood completely that Thanos was different from virtually every other villain. He was completely evil, and not motivated by personal gain, rather he was trying to conquer and kill. And the Zeck art was a plus. I can't think of a better filler story from the Bronze Age.

Our Army At War 83 disagrees with you.

Strange Tales 110 disagrees with you.

 

And you know what? Marvel Preview 7 also disagrees with you. Go compare MP7 to Hulk 271 on GPA

I don't necessarily agree with rjrjr, but these aren't really good examples at all. They're SA books (for us ol' fuddy-duddies).

And MP #7 was a popular mag way before RR was even credited as appearing in it. I mean, what's not to like about Satana?!?

Now there's a thought that's worthy of its own thread! (thumbs u

What? "The Final Flower" is probably the only 6-page BA story, right?

 

I thought it was dumb when I read it as a kid, and it's 100x dumber now.

From memory there were some short Martian Manhunter stories in the back of Adventure, Mike Grell's first GA work is in Short story in Action 440 or 441. There is that short Wolverine-Hercules story from the Treasury.

 

I was obviously an unsophisticated 7 year old.

Weren't the Adams GL/GA stories in the Flash books fairly short?

Those Martian Manhunter stories were great! Early Marshall Rogers & Mike Nasser art

Seems like an enjoyable story from the eyes of a 12 year old. Why the hate?

Yes, but you can get a very nice raw one for $15-$25 shipped. I sold a couple here for that much, nice 9.2-9.4s.

I agree, I thought it was a well done memorable little story. Probably because I have about a 6 page attention span. Heck, one of the few stories I can actually summarize pretty well, indeed I told it to my son as a bedtime story the other night and guess what...he guessed right on what Drax was re-created/engineered to do... "kill Thanos daddy?". I was so proud that he saw that one coming....

 

He is a little confused about Thanos wanting to date Death though...

 

There are so many BAD comic stories in the 70s, to pick on this one seems kind of silly.

 

 

[akaSteveRogers]

Here's an interesting book I pick up whenever I can find one in HG for cheap. It's a real first appearance, the character appears on the cover, and it's a 25-cent cover.

 

 

Been looking for a HG copy of this for quite sometime jC . I've been only able to get a 9.4 but had this tiny tear in the upper LH corner on the FC that irked the hell out of me so much I sold it.

 

You're on point with the 1st app. But are there reports of the 1st app being something else?

 

Like Black Goliath#1?

This is the first app of Black Goliath, but Bill Foster appeared earlier in Avengers. Similar to Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel.

Ok yes...the Avengers 32. Which I think have buried in my short stack. But still want a crisp PM 24. Don't keep all the good ones for yourself.
