Star Wars Is Already Seeing Huge Gains

"Dark Encounter!" Written by Archie Goodwin. Art by Carmine Infantino and Bob Wiacek. The Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, battles the deadly cyborg bounty hunter known as Valance the Hunter over a chasm of molten hot magma. It's a duel only one of them will survive. Cover price $0.40. Star Wars #29 (Marvel, 1979) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages. "Death" of Valance. Carmine Infantino cover and art. Overstreet 2021 NM- 9.2 value = $12. CGC census 4/22: 60 in 9.6, 80 higher." Pretty neat cover there, as Darth Vader's armor has never looked more…like a robot? Some of these old Marvel covers are wild.
