WTB: Pre-hero Tales of Suspense, Tales to Astonish, Journey into Mystery

[Filter81]

Ugh.. ok.. I'm hooked now. I'm looking to buy all pre-hero issues of the above titles. I'm interested in all grades. I'm looking to pay around 50-70% of guide for low grade books, 80-90% of guide for mid-grade books and 100-110% of guide for higher grade books.

 

Please PM me with anything you've got.

 

Thanks!

Rhino had a listing for some Pre-Hero books. You might want to check with him. And yeah, they are addictive. To me, that some of the best books Marvel has ever published.

I'm thinking of getting into these books too, please someone talk me out of it

[Timulty]

Can't do it.

Don't do it. Then there will be more books for me

Filter, Bill Hughes has a few nice high grade Journey's.

[Sharkey]

Definitely check out the high grade slabs I am selling through Pedigree Comics

And we'll talk more about raw books too...

 

Pre-Hero ROCKS.

Did you ever own a Strange Tales 89, Rhino?

Yep, I've had several copies in varying grades. The nicest is a 7.0 (which is on Pedigree now -- and I'm really NOT trying to pimp those sales by mentioning it). ST 89 is a tough book to find in nice grades.

 

But my true ST 89 treasure is the splash page in my OA collection. Fin Fang Foom is the ultimate pre-hero icon. What great stuff!!

did they ever explain why that giant dragon is wearing stretchy shorts, by any chance? it's the one pre-hero mystery that has me totally baffled

Nah, these are all comic characters. They're like eunichs or something...

Here you go:

Pre-hero Marvels Thread link

The only bad thing is that it's an old thread so many of the early pics are no longer available. But lots of good stuff there!

 

 

I'm sure filter doesn't mind -- our mindless pratter keeps bumping his thread to the top....
