Re: Undervalued Gems

I find that the comics that are revered as among the best of an era eventually eventually take off in price. And, although it’s a retelling, where else are you going to get Alex Ross art on the death of Gwen Stacy and the like?

Thanks. I’m especially hoping to get a Psi-Force 1 and DP 7 1 in 9.8.

Re: Undervalued Gems

I’m surprised MARVELS, the Busiek/Ross series from 1994, isn’t worth more. I’m calling that as an undervalued gem of a series.

Re: Link to asking CGC to add a registry set

I just noticed “the girl has no name” just “loved” three posts asking for sets to be added to the Registry in July 4-7. So, it’s running about 100 days right now. What did you get? I’ve been building a Star Brand set in CGC, and asked for that title to be added to the Registry about a month ago. Lo...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

I bought a 535 page Vampire Readers Giant via a reprint publisher called Gwandanaland that I like. It cost me something like $25 shipped via Amazon, and featured Golden Age Vampire stories in B&W. One of the best comic book reading experiences of my life. Tomorrow I’m planning to buy another B&a...

Re: Discuss Black And White 80s Comics And Publishers

I’ve been reading a lot of Golden Age vampire comic stories lately, and am wondering how the Apple Dracula anthology stories compare to those in terms of quality.

I read every story of his in TALES FROM THE DATABASE. I used to read his newsletters, but after I changed my email address about ten years ago, for some reason all my efforts to subscribe to them failed. Thanks for posting this story.

Re: Valiant V1 prices

There are so many of those two books in 9.8, and not a lot of interest in th em at the moment, character-wise. Definitely two that could pop in the future. I hadn’t looked at them in a few years, and was just surprised at how low the prices are now. It’s a shame the Valiant creators don’t make use ...

Looks like Archer and Armstrong 8 is down from where I remember it too. That’s not a key, but I’d call it a semi-key.

Valiant V1 prices

When was the last time Master Darque appeared in a new Valiant comic book? I was pretty surprised when I saw how cheap Shadowman 8 has been going for, I thought I’d try to make some sense of it. I saw a Shadowman 8 CGC 9.8 listed for $50, and a CGC 9.6 at $25. Have other semi-key or key Valiants dro...
