MARVEL REPRINTS

[Marty Mann]

Having picked up quite a few of these in groups of comics over the years,

I wondered which ones, if any, might be collectable purely for their content,

which ones might contain stories from truly valuable issues.

Re-Prints such as Marvel Tales and Marvel Milestone Editions allow me to get the #1's and/or 1st appearances that I cannot afford to complete my Super Hero runs/storylines.

Milestones with the silver borders are especially hard to find in NM-NM+. Most of the ones I have found have some spine stressing. Probably because people have actually read them.

DC Millenniums can also command some $$.

Definitely some Marvel Tales that can pull some change as well. Really just think about what books are really expensive then find when they were reprinted. Most likely you will see a correlation.

Fantasy Masterpieces #10 (Silver Surfer)

Marvel Tales 106 usually sells pretty well.

Here the ingredients:

 

Popular/Key issue + Different Cover (preferably by popular artist) *or* Different background color on cover.

 

When you have a key issue reprint with a cover that is somehow *different* than the original, it makes it more collectable on its own.

Would you be able to provide some examples?

Thanks.

Since the 1st reprint of Avengers #62 (Jungle Action #5) has skyrocketed and is selling for at least equal, if not more than the original...

 

...you can grab Marvel Super Action #23 for peanuts.
