This week I am turning the Undervalued Spotlight reigns over to guest writer Nelson da Rocha. Nelson is arguing that Amazing Spider-Man #96 deserves better than it is currently getting and I agree. Nelson gets to the heart of something I’ve briefly…
This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija talk about comics, stuff having to do with comics and stuff with nothing to do with comics at all. As always they are joined by producer Shekky Feldstein! We’ve also…
Love Diary #36, Charlton Comics, January 1965 This is a bit of a coup for the Undervalued Spotlight. I believe I’ve found a yet undiscovered prototype. I’m not sure you could even call it a prototype, to me it looks…
This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija talk the talk on all things comic book related – and some things not. As always they are joined by producer Shekky Feldstein! We’ve even added some tunes! So please,…
Avengers #223, Marvel Comics, September 1982 I was pricing up a stack of Avengers recently and like always I basically stopped at issue #200. Anything over #201 in the Avengers run has always gone straight to the bargain bins. Now…
Journey into Mystery #85, Marvel Comics, October 1962. Last Saturday evening my kid decides we should all watch Thor 2; I wanted to watch the Habs/Senators game. So Thor 2 starts and I kind of like it, I actually thought it was better than the first one. Near the end of the movie my kid mumbles something like “I really like Loki, he’s smart and crafty”. Woah!
This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija chew the cud on all kinds of comic book related stuff, movies, conventions, toys and of course comics too.
As always they are joined by producer Shekky Feldstein!
Hey and the tunes are back!
Amazing Spider-Man #37, Marvel Comics, June 1966. Recently I've been receiving some strong Spotlight suggestions from Juan from Rochester N.Y. These are good solid picks he’s sending in, I’m lucky he doesn't want to start up a website.
This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija chew the fat on a ton of comic book related stuff, movies, documentaries, toys and yes comics too. As always they are joined by producer Shekky Feldstein! This week the…
Dazzler #1, Marvel Comics, March 1981. I’m pricing up books for the upcoming Toronto Comic Con and ran into a nice batch of X-Men. There was a sweet copy of issue #130 in there and I had to pick it up and thumb through it. I remember this book coming out and me being a bad boy rock and roller at the time I remember I hated the character.
The comic book portion of ComicLink’s February Featured Auction Ended Wednesday February the 26th and what a mammoth auction it was!
For the 1st time ever really a strong group of quality “Canadian Whites” were on auction and the results can only be described as historic. I’ll direct you to Ivan Kocmarek’s post covering that portion of the auction.
As I said above, this was a very strong auction.
The weakening Canadian Dollar got me to thinking about the effect it is having, if any, on the back issue comic book market. Comic books are like oil in that they are traded in U.S. dollars. The price guide is quoted in U.S. dollars, almost all the big internet dealers are U.S. based and all the major comic auction sites are U.S. and prices are quoted in U.S. Dollars. Basically holding a comic collection is like holding U.S. dollars.
This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija get down to business by talking up all kinds of comic book related stuff, movies, documentaries, toys and yes even comics. As always they are joined by producer Shekky Feldstein!…
Flash Comics #86, DC Comics, August 1947
It’s been a while since we visited the Golden Age. It was Undervalued Spotlight #172 to be precise, not that I’m trying to plug that post or anything.

Young Love #104, DC Comics, June/July 1973. Happy Valentine’s Day, I hope yours is filled with Young Love! There are a lot of undervalued comics in the Romance genre but alas I’m faced with the same dilemma as our cover girl Theresa, I can only pick one.
This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija say adieu to Slurpy Jones and sadly to our young buck Andrew Roebuck who has used his experience on our show to move on to bigger and better things. Good…
The Brave and the Bold #159, DC Comics, February 1980. I know we’re all saving up for Valentine’s Day so I thought I’d make this Spotlight another affordable one. Forgive me though because I’m still on this Ra’s Al Ghul kick.
Amazing Adventures V2 #1, Marvel Comics, August 1970 My kids and I watched the Avengers again recently and I found myself really enjoying the Black Widow character played by Scarlet Johansson. I think she’s one of the stronger characters in…
