Thor 162, 9.4, OW, $175

Just a gorgeous cover. Galactus is bridging the gap into Asgard while some off-camera Asgardian fires some super hand-cannon into Big G's torso. Thor is drawn in warm colors contrasting the cool, muted colors of his peerage, Big G, his fellow Asgardians, and their surroundings. Just purty.

 

[DavidTheDavid]

Take Thor 160, 161, and 162 for $389.

 

EDIT: This deal breaks, obviously, is someone buys one of the three.

[DavidTheDavid]

Thor 168, 9.0, OWW, $139 SOLD!

Galactus is super big angry. And why wouldn't he be? This is part one of his origin retelling. Nobody authorized this in advance with him, and not with his agent either. So yeah, he's trying to shut Thor and his big trap up. Once you get enough honey mead in that dude, his lips could sink ships. And more Kirby goodness. Nice colors and whites on this, very well centered, a pretty copy for the scrupulous collector.

 

[SquareChaos]

Maybe my all-time favorite Kirby cover - great stuff in this thread, I love these Thor books.

 

[DavidTheDavid]

Thor 169, 9.4, OWW, $169 Going to a good home.

 

This one might just be my favorite of Kirby's Thor and Galactus covers. The Galactus montage done in blues, from penciling to coloring, is a genius work from both Kirby and Klein. Once again, Thor is done in bright, warm covers that draw attention away from the muted colors. But the empty negative image of Galactus is pretty bad-.

 

Centering is a bit off on the top front right, but it's a nice copy, as you can see.

 

 

[DavidTheDavid]

Buy both 168 and 169 for $289.00. DEAL BUSTED!

 

Of course, the deal breaks if someone buys either of the books individually.

[DavidTheDavid]

Maybe my all-time favorite Kirby cover - great stuff in this thread, I love these Thor books.

 

 

Yeah, Kirby was on his game for these covers. He must've been inspired by Galactus as he did a lot of beautiful Galactus covers.

[DavidTheDavid]

Minor interlude.

Thor 169 sold!

[DavidTheDavid]

Anyone who buys an available Galactus comic gets their choice of these: The GotG cover or the pair of Galactus Covers. The same or next person to do the same gets the remaining choice. These comics were ones I intented to send to CGC after pre-grading them and expecting 9.6's or betters.

 

 

[DavidTheDavid]

And I hope that at least a few people have an interest in some nice Cloak and Dagger slabs. Most of them will go cheap and are either 9.6s or 9.8s.

 

C'mon, if you are close to my age, you had the hots for Dagger at some point. Or, who knows, maybe Cloak was your fantasy. It's all good.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #6, CGC 9.8, W, $35

Rogue's Gallery cover, Big Herp De Perp in the back.

 

If you were like me, you read every comic of this series and practically all the tie-ins. I was Marvel's sucker, buying their cross-selling scheme as much as I could.

 

[DavidTheDavid]

Rom 26, 9.6, W, $25 SOLD!

Bill Mantlo story and great Al Milgrom cover. Sal Buscema and Joe Sinnot did the interior art. Rom was a quirky hero that I felt ambivalent about when I was young. Something about him drew me to the comic, but his cheeseball appearance and grocery scanner gun always turned me off. But this cover and the next one are just too great to pass up.

 

[DavidTheDavid]

Rom 27, 9.6, W, $25 SOLD!

Another great Galactus cover, also by Al Milgrom, and done as a Triptych cover. The white outlining is done really well.

 

[DavidTheDavid]

Take both Roms for $45. If either sells first, this deal is busted.

[DavidTheDavid]

Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 64, 9.6, $160

I've several of these with miswraps, many of them quite pronounced. This is one of the straighter copies that I've owned. I saw for auction a 9.8 with a razor straight wrap once.

First Appearance of Cloak and Dagger, an intriguing street-level duo filled angst and self-guilt that must have been inspired by Miller's work on Daredevil. Bill Mantlo would do terrific work with these two, and Al Milgrom knocked out some excellent covers for these two, as would Carl Potts later.

Prices on the Secret Wars and PPSM?

keep on posting my friend

I might do some more tonight, but hey, I've got all week.

 

I am clearing out quite a bit. Yet another "What do I really want to buy, and why do I want to buy it, and where do I want to spend my money" phase.

 

 

I am in exactly the same place.

That Fantastic Four #5 really hurt. It would have been the PERFECT replacement for my copy.

Oh well, great books David! (thumbs u
