Minus a few pieces I'm bidding on 🙂
- Archie Comics #1 (MLJ, 1942) CGC VG 4.0 Off-white to white pages
Archie #1 and Pep #22 are two books that I feel are undervalued by the hobby as a whole. Maybe not price-wise, but certainly in terms of overall appreciation. There are a lot of people who love these books, but the overall appreciation just isn't there. That's wrong to me.
- Detective Comics #27 (DC, 1939) CGC Apparent VF+ 8.5 Extensive (P) Off-white pages
I'm very interested in seeing where this one lands. I've been partial to predictions in the $65-75,000 range.
- Detective Comics #225 (DC, 1955) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages
Whatever your thoughts on this book in terms of comics history, there is no doubt that it's a tough book to find in collectible shape. This one is a beauty.
- Four Color (Series One) #16 Mickey Mouse (Dell, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages
The Disney books in this auction are insane.
- Four Color #9 Donald Duck (Dell, 1942) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages
I wasn't kidding. Insane. And just wait until later on in the list…
- More Fun Comics #54 (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages
One of my favorite covers from the Golden Age.
- Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #1 (Dell, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages
I told you the Disney books were insane.
- Wonder Woman #16 Big Apple pedigree (DC, 1946) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages
Mind-boggling condition for a book from 1946.
- Colossus Comics #1 Mile High pedigree (Sun Publications, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 White pages
I've likely seen this book before. I just don't remember it, which is weird, because it's memorable. What an oddball cover. It looks like almost looks, style-wise, like an Underground book from the 1960s.
- Fantastic Four #2 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages
Question, what's the best FF #2 worth?
- Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages
This and the Detective #27 are the two comics in this auction I'd most like to own.
- Lou Fine National Comics #5 Uncle Sam Cover Original Art (Quality, 1940)
Lou Fine National Comics #9 Uncle Sam Cover Original Art (Quality, 1941)
Lou Fine National Comics #11 Uncle Sam Cover Original Art (Quality, 1941)
I love Heritage. They just toss out three Golden Age Lou Fine covers like other auctioneers might list a mid grade Amazing Spider-Man #1.
- Classics Illustrated #110 A Study in Scarlet Sherlock Holmes Painted Cover Original Art (Gilberton, 1953)
I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan.
- Lee Elias Black Cat Mystery Comics #29 Cover Original Art (Harvey, 1951)
- Michael Golden and Terry Austin Doctor Strange #55 Splash Page 1 Original Art (Marvel, 1982)
There was a series of incredible art issues of Doctor Strange in the early 1980s. Golden, Marshall Rogers, etc. This splash is a high point of that high point for the series.
- Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella Detective Comics #327 First "New Look" Batman Splash Page 1 Original Art
Honestly, this page does NOTHING for me. Batman, for me, is the Golden Age and then it skips right ahead to Neal Adams. I basically skip over the 1950s and 1960s… Still it's historical, so it will be interesting to see how it goes.
- Gil Kane Green Lantern #71 Cover Original Art (DC, 1969)
I just sold a copy of this book, so the cover is fresh in my mind. - Harvey Kurtzman Two-Fisted Tales #20 Cover Original Art (EC, 1952)
Kurtzman is a giant.
- Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Daredevil #181, page 34 Original Art (Marvel, 1982)
If you're going to own a page from one issue of Daredevil, 181 isn't a bad choice.
- Alex Schomburg All-New Comics #11 Captain Red Blazer and Boy Heroes Cover Original Art
Can't go wrong with Alex Schomburg. I'm always a little surprised when I find out a Golden Age cover has survived. When a Schomburg cover has survived I'm surprised and more than a little happy that the fates chose to smile on us.
