Captain America Annual #8, Marvel Comics, September 1986. The Copper Age is full of books that are still easily accessible, that can still deliver great value and that still have strong potential. It’s been a while since we did a…
Undervalued Spotlight #420
Strange Adventure #9, DC Comics, June 1951. A friend of mine recently sent me pics of a very cool book he’d just picked up. It was a solid mid-grade copy of a book I used to have and it made…

Fantastic Four #10, Marvel Comics, January 1963. Stan Lee passed away yesterday, Monday, November 12th, 2018. My condolences to Mr. Lee’s family and friends. I’ll always remember where I was when I heard of Stan Lee’s death, I’ll also remember the…
Undervalued Spotlight #418
Two-Fisted Tales #35, EC Comics, October 1953. Sometimes the weirdest things lead me to a spotlight pick. I’ll often try to think of a good pick for the moment, be it a Valentine-themed pick or a Christmas-themed one, I’ve even…

DC 100 Super Spectacular #4 Weird Mystery Tales, DC Comics, 1971. In today’s Undervalued Spotlight we go back in time to Bronze Age big comics, I mean 100 pages big, and the very beginning of DC’s 100-page comic era that…

Amazing Spider-Man #134, Marvel Comics, July 1974. We’ve had some heavy hitters up the last 5 or 6 weeks so I think we’ll take it easy on the pocketbook this week and pick a cool, fun book that’s affordable. Cool,…
Undervalued Spotlight #412
Wonder Woman #24, DC Comics, July/August 1947. I think I did a half decent job with my Undervalued Spotlight #134. I think my argument on Wonder Woman #179’s significance still holds water almost 300 Spotlights later. Also, I don’t think…

Incredible Hulk #2, Marvel Comics, July 1962. I’ve always been a fan of second appearances! Have I not mentioned that Undervalued Spotlight #79 is the most read Spotlight ever? I think others like second appearances too. His week I turn…

Undervalued Spotlight #407
Adventure Comics #247, DC Comics, April 1958. I’ve never been a big fan of DC’s early Silver Age relaunch books but I’m well aware that I speak to an empty room. The room is empty because everyone is out buying…
Undervalued Spotlight #406
Amazing Spider-Man #102, Marvel Comics, November 1971. Bronze baby, bronze! Thanks to last week’s post I’m all stoked for Marvel Bronze Age so I found another nice bite-sized book that would look good in everyone’s collection, actually I think it’s…

Defenders #8, Marvel Comics, September 1973. It’s been over a year since the last early Bronze Age Marvel has been featured on the Spotlight. I’m not sure how something like that happens but one is long overdue an I think…
