Lets See Your Older/1st Edition/ OOP Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels! 5 5

[kccoig14]

I just posted this over on "This Week In Your Collection" but it fits in here too. With The Other History of the DC Universe coming out I've been wanting to get a coy of this to read. I found the Limited Edition HC at my LCS for $6 today.

I need to check my death nn to see if it's the platinum

It looked minty

 

If it is the Platinum it would probably be worth it. Most know that the Platinum #75 was supposedly only printed in 10,000 all numbered, but what most do not realize they only printed 4,500 of the Platinum Trade. Here are two letters documenting this with one from DC the other from Diamond.

That is a tricky one. Currently people are searching for newsstand,  so I know over a direct edition it will likely go for more, but currently none of the TPB go for really decent money unless you pull a 9.9 or the first to pull a 10.  Even then the last regular 9.9 sold in April 2010 for $353... Although sure it would sell for more now that a 9.9 platinum sold in Jan 2021 for $1,500.

Well thanks! That attempt to explain the sales makes sense

Prices kind of seemed erratic on Ebay, so I didnt know haha

Maybe not the earliest graphic novel, but the earliest collected editions I'm aware of:

I have the old testament version and didn't even think of posting it here. I think these are so cool. These were some thick comics for back then. This also reminds me of another collection that I should post.

My oldest graphic novel (and I mean true graphic novel, not strip reprints or woodcuts or wordless novel) dates to 1931.  But, these books from when I was a kid are what you want to see:

I have both of these as well.  My uncle had the Superman book when I was a kid, I used to love reading it whenever I went over to visit.  I was endlessly fascinated by the old comic stories.  After he passed about a decade ago, my aunt gave me the book to remember him by since she knew how much I loved it.  It's not my #1 "If you can only keep one comic" item, but it may be #2 and it's definitely in my top 5.  I've also got the Superman from the 30's to the 80's book somewhere, if I come across it I'll get a photo of it.

An early 70's collection, treasury size.  Just a spectacular way to read some great old EC's:

1989 Hawkman trade. I found this at an antique store a few years back. 

1st printing. Collects Brave and the Bold (1955-1983 1st Series) #34-36 and 42-44.

As promised.  The format change on the 80’s version is interesting, I think:

I concur.  I have a copy as well. A great selection of stories from across all of EC's genres.  A brilliant book.
