Incredible Hulk #309, Marvel Comics, July 1985. Artist: Mike Mignola. Day 309 was a tough day, the four I picked I liked but there was no clear winner for me. Mike Mignola’s cover to Hulk #309 gave me a Frazetta…
Iron Man #302, Marvel Comics, March 1994. Artist: Kevin Hopgood. Only 33 unique comic covers to choose from today, my favourite is Kevin Hopgood’s cover to Iron Man #302, just a strong battle cover with a big dose of Venom.…
Wonder Woman #298, DC Comics, December 1982. Artist: Frank Miller. Frank Miller’s cover to Wonder Woman #298 is certainly attention-grabbing and wins the day for its shock factor. Kevin Nowlan gives us a stylistic cover to Hulk #298 that I…
World’s Finest #283, DC Comics, September 1982. Artist: Rich Buckler. Rich Buckler’s cover to World’s Finest #283 wins hands down simply for the novelty. Is there another cover that attempts to create a half Superman/half Batman character. I wanted to…
Iron Man #282, Marvel Comics, July 1992. Artist: Kevin Hopgood. Come on, who doesn’t want a copy of Iron Man #282 just because of the cover, Kevin Hopgood did some good work right here. I’m really liking the vibe of…

Marvel Tales #266, Marvel Comics, October 1982, Artist: Ron Lim. The thing that struck me about Ron Lim’s cover to Marvel Tales #266 was the way he drew Spider-Man, that’s my Spider-Man! That’s the way I like him drawn. Dick…
Four Color #256, Eastern Color, December 1949, Artist: Carl Barks. What do you get when you add lots of sky blue to a great Carl Barks drawing? Walt’s cover of the day! Four Color #256 is feel-good comic art from…
Batman #237, DC Comics, December 1971. Artist: Neal Adams. Neal Adams wins the day with his classic grim reaper cover to Batman #237. Jack Callahan combines a nice site gag with a pretty girl to drum up a winner of…

Iron Man #128, Marvel Comics, November 1979 – Artist: Bob Layton. Instantly recognizable and a must have for Iron Man fans. Iron Man #128 has mass appeal and has the ability to pull in non collectors. I could have picked…

Tales of Suspense #59, Marvel Comics, November 1964. Silver Age keys are one of the hottest segments of the market, Marvels especially and pre-65 Marvels especially. I think there are still a few keys that have yet to meet their…
Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1, Marvel Comics, April 1968. I was at a small local comic show this past weekend and a sequence of events pointed me towards this week’s Spotlight pick. First off there was this lower grade Tales of…
Today’s Overvalued Overstreet spotlight features one of my favourite comics of all time: Tales of Suspense #49. I still own a beautiful copy of the book, and it will probably be one of those books that goes to the people…
Our Overvalued featured book today is Iron Man #1. I think this book is one of the most grossly overvalued books of Marvel’s Silver age. I personally think there hasn’t been a more overvalued Marvel comic since this was…
