Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
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…
Boy Comics #9, Lev Gleason, April 1943 It seems I haven’t posted a 1940s comic in almost a year. Considering my opinion that the 1940s are the largest reservoir of yet “undiscovered” gems this is certainly an oversight I’d like…

Ghost Rider #1, Marvel Comics, September 1973 Recently a discussion arose at the shop about the upcoming Doctor Strange movie. We were talking about how a whole new genre of Marvel movies would come out of a successful Doc Strange…

Amazing Adventures #1, Marvel Comics, June 1961 I’ve had this book in my “Future Spotlights” file for years. I’m not really sure why I haven’t wrote it up until now, but it simply can’t wait any longer. This week I…
Amazing Spider-Man #72, Marvel Comics, May 1969 It’s crazy times in the collectible comic book market. Prices are hitting records on multiple fronts, in multiple genres and in multiple eras. You pretty well need a loan to buy any comic…

Spectacular Spider-Man #98, Marvel Comics, January 1985 We were discussing the Undervalued Spotlight at the shop yesterday and I was floating around a few of the books I had in mind for this week’s installment. Thankfully our resident comic book…
Comic Book Confidential #1, Sphinx Productions, 1988 This week the Undervalued Spotlight shines on Comic Book Confidential #1. We can thank Spotlight fan Mel Taylor for this one. Mel’s write up is excellent and it has me convinced this is…
