Undervalued Gems

[StarBrand]

I think Dark Dominion 7 from Defiant is an undervalued gem. It's the first JG Jones pro work.

Guys, sorry to bother but I have a question in mind: is the Longbow Hunters #1 a "gem" (1st Shado)? I found a F copy (maybe higher, no creases on the covers, pages are super clean given it's age) of it for 5 euros.
Not wanting to flip it or whatever, I bought it because I want to own the 3 books in singles. Just curious.
Thanks!

I don't know the answer to that. Hopefully someone else does.

The problem with that title is, outside of part of this board, how many people care? Is there something we can compare it to (for comparative analysis sake)?

Those issues of Coyote that have McFarlane's first work?

For sure a book to pick up cheap. Shado is Ollies baby momma. They will address this in the future so yes...very undervalued.

Yeah but JG Jones is not McFarlane. McFar is top 5 comic creators.

Books like Coyote 11 and Samauri Santa belong in there own class.

[StarBrand]

Samurai Santa?

Samurai Santa?

Yep, 1st Jim Lee comic work.

This is a plentiful book.. Just saying. But I do have a few stashed away.

I guess there is plenty of offer in NM territory, given this was a prestige series and all that.
I just find it odd that it is so cheap. Shado, at least to me, is one of the top 5 most important GA characters.
AND this is the book where Oliver gets the Hood. Big Plus.

I think a lot of the early Ultimate books are at nice prices, not really sure if they would ever see a resurgence, but really loved early Ultimate X-men, Spiderman, and the Ultimates. Most of these can be had for a $1 or less with the exception of Ultimate Spiderman #1.

[Elveen]

Ultimate FF #21 is a nice buy and stash.

Samurai Santa?

Yep, 1st Jim Lee comic work.

I... did not know that. I always heard about Alpha Flight 53 being his first Marvel work, but not about this one.

I've never seen one. But I know about it.

Must be pretty rare.

Jim Lee inked that Samurai Santa book. I wonder what his first pro job as a penciler was.

[JCP]

There's a Samurai Santa on the feeBay for $45 obo. Not mine of course.

It's Alpha Flight #51

Oh yeah. Lol.

Jim Lee also drew ONLY the covers to The Transformers #27 and #53 in 1987 and 1988 respectfully for Marvel.

Just saw this post. Oops. I think we'd have to identify a creator as similar to Jones as possible whose first work appeared in the mid-nineties. The thing that makes it so undervalued is it practically has no value over common comic prices, and that will certainly correct at some point in my opinion.

Agreed. You are no doubt, correct. Yet those first works of creators you mentioned are worth far more than Dark Dominion 7 as far as what they're selling for. Dark Dominion 7 sells at the price of a common comic, and that's what makes it undervalued in my opinion. I sent a couple Dark Dominion 7s in for grading, and I called CGC and told them I wanted to make sure they denoted my copies as the first JG Jones pro work. I was told Jones is an important enough creator for them to do that, and they would research Dark Dominion 7 to see if it was indeed his first pro work, and if so they would put it in their system to note that on Dark Dominion 7.
