Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
The boys cover all kinds of stuff including New This Week, Industry News and Chris spins some great tunes. Now would be a good time to sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s Comic Culture.
Oh yes, and please, please make sure you go out and support your local comic book shop.
Marvel Value Stamp Book Series A, Marvel Comics, Spring 1974 I’ve always been able to talk myself out of doing this post. Obviously I’ve caught myself at a weak moment. Perhaps its fitting though that I pull my 1-80 on…

Avengers #263, Marvel Comics, January 1986 Quick trivia question. What comic featured the 1st appearance of the X-Factor? Well, if you said 1963’s X-Men #1 you wouldn’t be wrong. Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Jean Grey and Iceman all indeed made up the…
Heritage Auctions A very solid Heritage Auctions session ended on Wednesday November 21st with some very strong results. I took a keen interest in the CGC 9.6 Strange Tales #110. This book is being heavily speculated on at the moment and I…

This week I’d like to post an Undervalued Spotlight pick sent in by Peter Chin from Vancouver B.C. That’s 2 from Peter this month as he sent in that solid offering for Undervalued Spotlight #175. I think he’s trying to…
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.

Mystery in Space #75, DC Comics, May 1962 Publisher DC Comics has a good thing going in the Justice League of America (JLA). Tremendous expectations surround the team as plans for a big JLA movie take shape. Long lead times…
Ms. Marvel #18, Marvel Comics (June 1978) I’m really enjoying the recent submissions from Undervalued Spotlight readers. Spotlight readers are obviously a savvy group because their picks are strong and true. Honestly I’ve been getting enough submissions lately to consider running…

Undervalued Spotlight readers often send me emails with recommendations for future Undervalued Spotlight picks. Some I’m choosing to hold back on (we’re not ready for the 3rd appearance of Deadpool just yet) while others impress me so much that I…

I remember having a conversation with Marc (the guru that runs Big B Comics) maybe two years back about the Death of Superman trade paperback. We were unpacking our weekly order and I pulled out about 5 or 6 copies…
This week Comic Culture host Chris Owen welcomes back Walter Durajlija. Walt is currently the poster boy for the Canadian Dental Retainer Society but he’s toughing it out and jumping back on the saddle. Look for want to slur his…
Triumph Adventure Comics #1, Hillsborough Studios, August 1941 I’ve had my sights on this Spotlight for a long time and with all the excitement being generated by some great news about the principal character there could be no better time to…
THUNDER Agents, Tower Comics, November 1965 Should we be considering those Tower Comics from the 1960s? You know the ones Wally Wood was supposed to build up to challenge the heroes of Marvel and DC. I’ll try to put the…
