Amazing Spider-Man #42, Marvel Comics, November 1966. We have not had a Guest Spotlight in a while so I’m thankful for this submission from my pal Carey. I like this pick and Carey is informative and passionate in his arguments.…
Marvel Super Heroes #14, Marvel Comics, May 1968. This week I want to stay with Marvel and again pick a neglected gem. Honestly I’m hard pressed to think of a more neglected gem that this week’s Undervalued Spotlight – Marvel…
Ghost Manor #13, Charlton Comics, July 1970 Happy Halloween everybody, please remember to dress warmly if you’re out trick or treating and if you’re driving around please take extra care and watch for all the little goblins and ghosts running…
Daredevil #16, Marvel Comics, May 1966. The back issue comic book market is robust these days. It seems there is healthy activity in almost all segments of the market, Golden, Silver, Bronze, Copper and Modern Age books continue to break…
Amazing Spider-Man #66, Marvel Comics, November 1968. There were several things that happened this past weekend that helped me choose Amazing Spider-Man #66 as this Week’s Undervalued Spotlight pick. First off the big Spider-Man: Homecoming movie opened to impressive box…
Batman #296, DC Comics, February 1978. I was pricing up some books for an upcoming con and had the pleasure of going through a sweet stack of Batmans. It was nice going through those late #200s and early #300s issues.…
Fantastic Four #232, Marvel Comics, July 1981 Our great little discussion over at my recent Auction Spotlight post heavily influenced this week’s Undervalued Spotlight pick, Fantastic Four #232. In the discussion commenters left opinions both in favor and against the…
Fantastic Four #113, Marvel Comics, August 1971 A few days ago I sorted all my Undervalued Spotlights alphabetically. I did this exercise to help me see if there were areas I was not adequately representing, the Spotlight mantra being all…
Fantastic Four #12, Marvel Comics, March 1963 I was talking to a comic collector recently about the allure of those round 12 cent Marvels. We counted them up and came up with 45 super-hero Marvel comics that have them, remembering…
Power Comics #1, Power Comics, 1977 (January? – a reprint of #1 exists dated March 1977) A seemingly random sequence of events led me to this week’s Spotlight. I’ll try not to bore you with the timeline but I have…
Marvel Team-Up #1, Marvel Comics, March 1972 I finally watched the Captain America Civil War movie. I liked it. My favorite scene was Tony Stark and Peter Parker in Parker’s room. I loved this take on Parker and Spidey. Just…
Tom Landry and the Dallas Cowboys #nn, Spire Christian Comics, 1973. When I think of Spire Christian Comics I think of Hansi, The Girl Who Loved the Swastika. After that I think of that great Spire Christian Archie series drawn…
Fuddle Duddle #4, JRD Publishing, December 1971 Happy Birthday Canada! As far as countries go we’re just a kid, 149 years young with our best still ahead of us. Did you know that Canada is a world superpower at creating…
Amazing Adventures #1, Marvel Comics, June 1961 I’ve had this book in my “Future Spotlights” file for years. I’m not really sure why I haven’t wrote it up until now, but it simply can’t wait any longer. This week I…
Legion of Super Heroes #259, DC Comics, (January 1980) Adventure Comics #247 is getting pretty hot these days, the book features the first appearance of the Legion of Super Heroes and there’s lots of speculation going around. It seems to…
Avengers #93, Marvel Comics, (November 1971) Recently I spent a good whack of money on a nice little pile of raw books. I had to pay a hefty premium for some of the hotter books like Fantastic Four #52 and…
Nova #4, Marvel Comics, December 1976 For this week’s Undervalued Spotlight I’d like to go with a book that gives us a new villain, has great eye appeal, won’t break the budget and tracking one down won’t be like finding…
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2, Marvel Comics, 1965 Mike Huddleston’s great post on the Fantastic Four Annuals got me to thinking how much we neglect Annuals. Is it that Annuals reprint stories collectors already have? That’s probably a big part of…
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…
