The following are two Silver Age books that I absolutely love.

Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) CGC NM 9.4

Green Lantern's recent meteoric rise bums me out. I was buying some Green Lanterns, and then, along came the movie blowing prices up on the really good stuff. Case in point, this book. This exact copy sold for 18,975.00 at Heritage in 2003. Recently, a 9.2 of this book sold for $30,450.00. What does that result mean for this 9.4? Hopefully some crazy number north of $50k.

And the book:

AMAZING FANTASY #15 (MARVEL) – AUGUST 1962 – CGC 7.5

Already at nearly $30,000 with 4 days to go. That puts it at #23 with plenty of room to climb. 50-60k would put it solidly in the top 10.

Of course, it's an Amazing Fantasy 15, which means I'm nodding off writing this, but it's still interesting whenever anything cracks into that top 25 list.

The focus here is on American mainstream comics. I have no apologies for that These are in no order. They are, however, presented with plenty of love for a decade chock full of good comics.

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Sleeper

Comprising Sleeper: Season One and Sleeper: Season Two, this series went way too far under the radar. It was clearly one of the best superhero efforts of the decade, although at the end of the day it was more cloak and dagger than capes and cowls. Thankfully both Phillips and Brubaker went on to become fancy, big-selling stars for Marvel after finishing up this classic. I just wish a few more people had been able to check out Sleeper when it was running. It was tough talking into a vacuum.

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Criminal

Criminal took the Noir aspects of Sleeper, jettisoned the superhero aspects and distilled a pure drauft of crime drama. I have an affinity for their source material and love these two guys as individual talents so I was basically made to love this book.

Yes it is. Here are a few lots I'm watching:

I went through the catalog yesterday. I limited myself to picking twelve lots of interest to share with you guys. It was tough because this is an auction full of some interesting material. The Joe Kubert lots themselves could have produced a decent set of 12 items to ogle.

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM- 9.2

This is clearly the book of the auction. I don't get excited easily by Silver Age marvels, but this book brings a smile to my face. It's tough to find in high grade and it's the HULK.

Hulk smash!

As of this writing it sits at $45,000. Still plenty of room for a thrill bid, I think.
