I discovered a new dead publisher Skywald Publications

I have nice copies of the Hellrider mag

Until the announcement of the end of the series, I thought Invincible was just one, well-crafted animated series away from being the next big thing. Like Greg pointed out, the Big Keys from this era will have to come from books that changed pop culture and, as of now, it seems TWD is the only candi...

Automatically

Just read the wiki and thought they went ages ago

I already had them on my master list lol

I personally think that commissions and original art is the way to go as far as collectible. Unique pieces numbered to less than 1,000 are worth their weight in gold. As far as reprint TPBs go- I have a nearly complete set of Sandman. But I won't read them... I'll read the TPBs instead and not dama...

Great discussion guys. I'm enjoying seeing your thoughts. Here is another question. Will key issues remain key issues in the future? Here are a couple books for discussion: Batman #232 - First Ra's al Guhl House of Secrets #92 - First Swamp Thing Thoughts? Both undervalued, as are many similar book...

Wow those guys are really bad and im not sure its the brews

After 30+ years of wanting this, I finally ot one two years back for $50 on ebay. Using Gregs search what seem slike ten years on, i logged on randomly and it was the 1st thing listed as new and i just froze, thought for 10 seconds and pressed the BIN, shipped to the UK it was about $80 insured and...

To further muddy the 1st Wolvie debate, I heard a mention of DD:115 being the first app. via an ad. So I dug out one of my copies, and took a photo for your guys to see.... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/ggsae/IMG_09521_zpstlyokgzj.jpg I like ads like those, but they aren't first appearanc...

I've noticed Tank Girl # 1 sells for decent $ these days: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_Complete=1&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=dark+horse+1+tank+girl+1991+-2+-3+-4&_sop=16" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Wow crazy money. Sold the 1st mini here last month for...

I'll add to the 1980s recommendations by recommending the newsstand editions of those books. I've probably already mentioned this before, but it's advice to combine with options for first appearances. For example, Amazing Spider-Man #300 is the first full Venom story, and there are newsstand copies...

Hey Draco ~ see you soon buddy

Hey dude, be super cool to catch up

These are still working, any more my good sir

Awesome post right here. As you can imagine, silver and old holos in the uk have always been a nightmare to get, though when seen are normally £2-5 depending on grade. I buy multiples when in bargain bins/sales etc. I now have 140 boxes of indy to go through and even my standard UV collection is inc...

wow, awesome post, awesome law and oh my i learnt something new

I have a fari few MTG customers who also collect comics who would fall over these

The industry that invest in slabs asked for it, they got it, they are here to stay

Wow, I finally picked up a copy on ebay US last year for about $70 and looks stunning. Always said it was a top 5 and had never heard of a copy on sale in the UK

One of my staff members took them all and i did wonder what they were like being a 70's Zombie fan, but looked very badly put together and a bit of madness

My downfall is Breed. Loved the title have all the issues. Wish Starlin would return the character I think he could fit in Marvel's Dark side of its universe nicely. He did a 'Breed III mini-series with Image a few years ago. It was... forgettable? I want to say that maybe it tied in with Wyrd? The...

Any particular 80s books you recommend? I think its actually really simple on these, with 1st Apocalypse, Sinister, Gambit, Rocket, Venom etc etc. There will of course be many hidden gems that pop up later that will have more relevance than they do now, but at the prices you can buy in raw or slabb...

Sickened to have sold both my copies, one gd one fn over ten years back for £150 each or close to, would love to won again

I think Marvel Bronze Age keys are a good choics as they can have big price swings and when there is a lack of interest you can grab them for cheap. Back in 2011, I was able to pick up cgc 9.4 copies of Hero for Hire 1, Marvel Premiere 15, and Marvel Spotlight #5 for under $2500. With recent intere...

It was originally a mistake/correction/adjustment that there was a "gray Hulk" in Hulk #1 (1962) and a "green Hulk" in Hulk #2 (1962), but the storyline has separated the two types of Hulk (and other colors) for decades. As a result, the first Hulk is definitely Hulk #1 and the ...
