Green Lantern #21, DC Comics, June 1963 This Week’s Undervalued Spotlight shines on Green Lantern #21, a book that features the 1st appearance of Doctor Polaris, the man who mastered Magnetism. I’ve speculated on some of Stan Lee’s motivations in the past.…

Flash Comics #89, DC Comics, November 1947 It’s getting tough following one of Mike Huddleston’s Spotlight picks. The man brings the right mix of passion, knowledge and insights and always leaves us with something unique. So the pressure is on…
Comic Link Summer Featured Auction The comic book portion of what I’ll call a historic ComicLink Summer Featured Auction ended Thursday September 8th. This auction was historic for the number of quality Canadian White’s available, quality in issue selection and…

Tom Landry and the Dallas Cowboys #nn, Spire Christian Comics, 1973. When I think of Spire Christian Comics I think of Hansi, The Girl Who Loved the Swastika. After that I think of that great Spire Christian Archie series drawn…
Archie #600, Archie Comics, October 2009 A quest to amass a worthy collection should not be dictated by value alone nor solely by things like first appearances. Let’s consider books that delivered things that surprised us, elicited reactions, positive and…
Showcase #79, DC Comics, December 1968. I checked out that Batman V Superman film recently and I liked three quarters of it. If DC/Warner ever figures out a way to avoid 30 minute long over melodramatic Superman death scenes it…
Hey Looks like I have to throw in the towel, this thing ain’t going away as fast as I wanted it to. If I don’t feel better by tomorrow I’m switching from Advil to Cognac. Spotlight #304 will…
Amazing Spider-Man #50, Marvel Comics, July 1967. It’s always just a matter of time before the next issue of Amazing Spider-Man has the spotlight shine upon it. Amazing Spider-Man has given us so much, and is probably the most collected…
Detective Comics #300, DC Comics, February 1962 I can explain. Last week I posted the 300th Undervalued Spotlight but purposely didn’t pick an issue #300 because I thought that a little predictable. That decision came to me after I had…
Cerebus the Aardvark, Aardvark-Vanaheim, December 1977 The 300th Undervalued Spotlight! I thought this one through a bit and have decided to break with the tradition of picking a 300th issue (as I did with Spotlight #100 and Spotlight #200). This week’s Undervalued…
Wonder Woman, Volume 2, #19, DC Comics, August 1988 A while back Carey graced us with a solid Guest Spotlight pick in Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #9. It was a solid pick and it was actually only one of two…
Fuddle Duddle #4, JRD Publishing, December 1971 Happy Birthday Canada! As far as countries go we’re just a kid, 149 years young with our best still ahead of us. Did you know that Canada is a world superpower at creating…
Thunderbolt #1, Charlton Comics, January 1966 Alan Moore’s old Watchmen comics from the 1980’s are heating up. The big fuss is that DC Comics is bringing the Watchmen into the DC Universe continuity. It looks like Dr. Manhattan will play…
New Avengers #7, Marvel Comics, July 2005 A few months back, right before the new Captain America movie hit, I considered Civil War #1 (July 2006) as an Undervalued Spotlight candidate but for some unknown reason I decided against it.…
This week’s Overvalued Overstreet points at the 35 cent price variant Star Wars #1, a book that has proven me wrong on every turn for a good 5 years running. I know I’ve covered it a few times over on…
Freelance Vol. 3 #33, Anglo American, August/September 1946 It’s been a while since I shone the Spotlight on a “Canadian White” and it took a really cool happening to make me realize my oversight and allow me to set things…
Power Man #24, Marvel Comics, April 1975 I was pricing some comics for an upcoming Con and came across a nice tight Black Goliath #1. I wasn’t sure how to price it because I knew the Guide was a bit…
