Marvel Two in One #30, Marvel Comics, August 1977. Can there be a more maligned title than Marvel Two in One? I mean you know you suck as a collectible title when the most sought after book in your run is an Annual (Two in One Annual #2 of course). Is there any hope for this title?

Eternals #1, Marvel Comics, July 1976. You can blame Mike Huddleston for this one. Mike did a guest Spotlight post last week and picked a great Jack Kirby book in Thor #134. His post got me all Kirby’d up. Yes it is possible to get Kirby’d up, I’m sure it’s happened to you and you didn't even know it.

Captain Canuck #9, Comely Comix, April/May 1980 I’m quite lucky having Captain Canuck creator Richard Comely sign at my booth at some of the local comic cons. He’s a very personable man with a legion of fans: he’s always busy…

It’s been 13 Spotlights since I last featured a Golden Age book and if I do anything here on the Spotlight it's spread it around. This week I’d like to feature The Funnies #45 as my Undervalued Spotlight. The Funnies #45 is actually a historically significant book, it features the 1st appearance of Phantasmo who is Dell Publishing’s 1st ever superhero.

Avengers Annual #7, Marvel Comics, 1977 I was having dinner yesterday with the gang from the Big B comic shop in Hamilton. This is quite the brain trust of comic heads so I took advantage and asked “hey guys, what…

Giant-Size X-Men #1, Marvel Comics, Summer 1975. I’m told I have a gift for exaggeration though I don’t believe I’m exaggerating at all when I declare this week’s Undervalued Spotlight pick, Giant Size X-Men #1, to be the 3rd most important super-hero comic ever published!

Blackthorne 3D Series #30 (Star Wars in 3D #1), Dark Horse Comics, December 1987 This post started simply enough, I wanted to feature Star Wars Dark Empire #1. Dark Empire #1 was Dark Horse’s 1991 launch of their Star Wars…

Fantastic Four #4, Marvel Comics, May 1962. I lucked into a nice collection of early Marvels a couple of weeks back. There was a Journey #83, a Strange Tales #110 and a few other big Marvel keys. For some reason though, and I’m not sure why, I was most drawn to the lower mid-grade copy of the Fantastic Four #4.
