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.
The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF- 7.5
I like think of Hulk #1 as an honorary DC. Not the character, I can't think of a more "Marvel" character than the Hulk, but the book itself. It's tough. The census numbers are very reminiscent of the Silver Age DC key and not like most of the other the Marvel keys at all. There are just a handful of nice copies out there.
This one isn't particularly nice, but it's still nice enough to feature. Especially since I do have a Hulk bias… I love that guy.
