Deadpool Secret Secret Wars #2, Marvel Comics, June 2015 I was talking with the boys at the shop recently; we were arguing the merits of variants. Needless to say we got nowhere. Variants are a tricky business and I’m smart…

Detective Comics #259, DC Comics, September 1958 What if there was this cool premise for a villain, cool and full of potential and what if it came to nothing. What if this villain’s canon was so bad that a site…

Black Knight #1, Atlas Comics, May 1955 Sometimes writing up a Spotlight opens up all kinds of doors leading to other worthy Spotlights. Case in point: last week’s pick. One detail I didn’t mention in that pick was the appearance of…

Spider-Woman #6, Marvel Comics, September 1978. People love deals and were bringing them up to me in piles. I was adding up one pile in particular when I came to Spider-Woman #6. I honestly stopped, stood there and admired the book for a bit. I was gonna tell the guy it wasn't supposed to be in those bins but thought that a bit petty, then I thought I’d let him buy it and offer $4 to buy it back! Thankfully I didn't go there.

Wonder Woman #98, DC Comics, May 1958. All Star Comics #8 is all the rage these days. I know a few guys just itching to get their hands on one before the prices get out of reach. This week I’ll offer an alternative to those who want to play the Wonder Woman game.

Detective Comics #27, DC Comics, May 1939. I’ve always wanted to write-up a complicated essay on Detective Comics #27. Over the years I’ve had a couple of abortive starts, giving up when I realized the work needed to do it right. I would like to express my view though. So what’s a guy to do?

Friday Foster #1, Dell Publishing, October 1972. So I’m pricing up comics for a big con coming up and I unearth this little gem in a long forgotten box. I leafed through it, liked it so much I’ve decided that this week’s Undervalued Spotlight should shine on Friday Foster #1.

Star Wars #7, Marvel Comics, January 1978. There is a heck of a lot of spec on Star Wars comics going on right now. So where to get in on this Star Wars bandwagon? If you had $20k kicking around you could go the 35 cent variant #1 route or maybe a nice high grade Boba Fett #42? It’s hard to play the Star Wars spec game without dishing out some serious coin. Which segues me nicely into this week’s Undervalued Spotlight pick, Star Wars #7.

I was offered a copy of Archie’s Madhouse #22 last week by a very sharp comic head. Of course I did a bit of research on the book because a) he was asking way too much money for it and b) I wanted it. As of this writing we still haven’t made the deal so I’ll keep insisting its way too much money, at least until I can snag it from him at a discount. The more I read up on the book the more I realized Archie’s Madhouse #22 had to be this week’s Undervalued Spotlight.
