So What is the Key Warlock Book?

[___]

I've noticed some nice warlock books heating up. Some good money being had for ff67 but all seem to have miswraps. Is this common for this book? Not seeing any thor 165 higher than 8.5 at all!

I've seen one Thor 165 in 9.4 in my area but seller is asking for hulk 181 type pricing. Really tough to find a black cover book in very high grade for sure.

Yes, up to issues in the #70s the Fantastic Four can be commonly miswrapped, and definitely this issue is among these which suffer more from the defect.

 

As dead_clone said, Thor #165 is not common in high grade because of the black cover which is notoriously unmerciful, like Hero for Hire #1, Fantastic Four #11o, Sub-Mariner #8 etc…

What would a Thor #165 9.4 SS by Lee be worth...?

Money!

 

Personally Prefer non SS on high grade books pre 1990

I personally prefer non-SS on any key 1st appearance book period...unless it's a lower graded copy, then I'd debate with myself on it.

Me too (thumbs u

 

just really pre modern books, only have a few ss in my collection at all, very low grade keys and some TWD books

Let‘s say in general, if you have to have a signature, I keep preferring them in an inside page, maybe with a COA now that people are into these things.

I've got a winning record...I think I've only owned a handful of signed 1st app. keys...

I was gonna say a solid 8.0-8.5

My contribution to this thread. Easily my favorite Starlin cover, and one of the top Bronze age

[RockMyAmadeus]

That Starlin run was fantastic. Just fantastic.

I agree, great stories and awesome artwork. So my vote is Strange Tales 178 as the key Warlock book

[vaillant]

As a kid, I was deeply impressed by the storyline.

I had just read FF#66-67 and discovering this mature, developed Warlock (with all summarized at the beginning) was a wonderful experience.

The story "Star thief" impressed me a lot, as much as McGregor/Russell's Killraven.
