Blastaar Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Not sure if I have seen a page for the initial run appear. Is there a story about those or the possible fate of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Yes. Some pages appeared in a recent auction. I want to say it was Comiclink of all places, but I could be wrong. Blastaar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastaar Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Any chance the #1 cover is out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post comiconxion Posted August 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2023 Interior pages from issues #4-6 have been floating out there since at least the 80's or 90's. Conrad E. used to own the complete #3 book, but he broke that up over 15 years ago so those pages are now available as well. Issues #1 & 2 haven't been publicly seen. None of the covers from that timeframe have been seen either. Twanj, Blastaar, Bill C and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people forget about or overlook pre hero marvels but to your point, if you can find art for Groot’s 1960 first appearance for sale, the hero first appearances in say 1963 are generally all available because marvel was saving its art well before that date as we can see by the existence of plenty of pre hero art.

ThothAmon Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) I was lucky enough to buy 5 or 6 pages from Hulk 4 in the late 90’s. I believe they sold at one of the early 90’s Sotheby’s auctions. Twice up Kirby masterpieces. The guy I bought them from had the famous hulk thing meeting interior page from ff 12 that the cover swiped. My begging wasn’t enough for the seller to part with that page.

rsonenthal Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 To the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge, interiors exist, but no one has seen any covers pre-1964. I may be off on the exact date, but it's questionable that those early covers exist. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, Heritage often offers pre-hero OA from Kirby, Ditko et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bronty Posted August 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) HA/CAF/Lee B show the following pre 1968 Marvel hero covers (by the time we get to 1968 they seem to show up pretty regularly). I know there are others but this list is non-exhaustive, I quit the CAF searches after a while as they were getting a lot of extraneous hits. In general though, 1967 is kind of the dividing line. After that (ie 1968 and later) they seem generally available, before that (ie 1966 and earlier) they seem generally unavailable: TOS: 84 (1966) JIM/Thor: 122 (1965) 123 (1965) 132 (1966) TTA: 86 (1966) 88 (1967) FF: 40 (1965) 52* (unpublished) 56 (1966) 71 (1967) Ann 4 (1966) Avengers 23(1965) 34 (1966) 36(1967) 37 (1967) 45 (1967) Spider-man: 11 (1964) 28 (1965) 41 (1966) 49(1967) 51(1967) 55 (1967) Annual 3 (1966) X-men 37 (1967) Strange Tales 142 (1966) 152 (1967) 158 (1967) 160 (1967) 162 (1967) Edited August 14, 2023 by Bronty batman_fan, tth2, Bill C and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
