Undervalued Spotlight #184

New Teen Titans #21 is indeed this week’s Undervalued Spotlight, it’s a great comic that comes out of a great title. Surely one of the best Copper Age titles was New Teen Titans. Marv Wolfman and George Perez created a powerhouse title that deserves a second look; there are other gems in this run.

Marvel Treasury Edition #13 was actually the 3rd Marvel Treasury holiday grab bag. Yes in 1974 Marvel released the 1st called Marvel Treasury Special Giant Superhero Grab Bag. That 1st release has my least favorite cover. Look at it! Where’s the Christmas spirit fellas? Actually the issue feels rushed, like someone at the House of Ideas had the good idea in late November. Inside you got a table of contents page highlighting the reprints included.

Question: What is the single most valuable comic book of last 45 years? Walking Dead #1? 1st appearance of Deadpool? Venom? Nope, it’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, first printing. Even the first appearance of Wolverine can't match the rarity of TMNT #1… the latest CGC census shows 6234 graded copies of Hulk #181 compared to TMNT #1’s 475 graded copies. Suffice to say it’s an ultra rare book. With a new movie on the horizon, and a new generation of Turtlemania, this could be the time to invest in this blue chip.

I recently had a stack of Hulks to price up. Easy peasy, especially once you get past #200. Not that many books above #200 avoid the bargain basement so I pulled out my #250, my #271, a few McFarlanes, a few Keowns and there you go. Then I remembered that there was a Thunderbolts issue up later in the run. That has to be worth money, no? I looked it up and it was #449 and the guide value was only $6. Now a lot of $6 and $7 in the guide Hulks can only sell in the bargain bins but this is not one of them. My Hulk back issue bins never have this issue in stock; it is an in demand comic.
