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.

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!

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.
