Metropolis Gallery curator and owner Vincent Zurzolo tells us "Sean will be bringing his unique and awe-inspiring originals to a venue where […]
X-Men fans and collectors, I am going to say something controversial right now. This issue right here, #129, is the best issue of X-Men of all time. Not only is it one of the more powerful issues of the Claremont run on the book, but it is the first appearance of Kitty Pryde (my personal […]
TMNT #1 is probably the hottest book on the aftermarket right now. All printings too, not just a second print like this one on auction today over at ComicConnect, part of Event Auction #44. There is no explanation for it right now either, besides just general love for the Turtles. There is no animated series […]
Superman #1…do covers get better than this one? I don; think so. Think about how iconic this cover is for a second. When I think of Supes, I don't think of Action Comics #1, I think of this one. Look at that smile on Clark's face, like he sees his next do-gooder that needs saving […]
Star Wars comics are on fire right now, as prices skyrocket on the back of The Mandalorian tv show. If you have been speculating or sitting on Star Wars comics for a while now, it is the time to get them out and sell em. If you are looking to but, this might now be […]
Ahh, Atlas Comics. Mystery Tales have always eluded me in my collection; it seems whenever I come across them, I get priced out really quickly before I can consider which to get. #52 has always been one of my favorite covers, the man running towards you and the mystery of the shadows in the sky, […]
KISS fans are increasingly looking for nice copies of the Marvel Comics Super Special from 1977 as of late. They certainly seem to be drying up fast, as more and more fans attempt to get the original comic of the act, one of the biggest urban legend books in comics history. Over at ComicConnect right […]
Iron Man and Doctor Doom make for a perfect pairing in one of the best Marvel Comics issues you will ever read. David Michelinie, John Romita Jr., and Bob Layton spin a tale of the two having to work together back in the days of King Arthur. Such great stuff. This copy, on auction over […]
Fantastic Four's first 100 issues are so full of importance that some of the cooler stories get overlooked sometimes. Like this gem, Hulk Vs. Thing in Fantastic Four #25. Featuring some of Jack Kirby's best work, it also is Captain America's second appearance in the silver age. Not bad for a book some wouldn't consider […]
Doctor Strange is one of those characters that does not have a ton of key issues under his belt, but solid issues and stories that make up a strong publishing history. Most would prefer his debut, but I have always liked this one more than that. This comic, Doctor Strange #169, and his first solo […]
Action Comics fans all have their favorite covers and stories from the golden and silver ages, as Superman features some of the best and most iconic. One of those covers that is a personal favorite of mine is #267, featuring Hercules punching a brick wall with a picture of Superman on it, sending bricks flying […]
Action Comics #1 is one of the most valuable, most desired, most famous superhero comic books of all time. It features the first appearance of Superman, from 1939, created by Joe Siegel and Jerry Shuster. On the 24th of August, 2014, a copy graded as 9.0 by CGC sold on eBay for $3,207,852, the only […]
Amazing Fantasy #15 is one of the three holy grails of comics, along with Action Comics #1 and Detective Comics #27. It gets no bigger than these three, and with good reason. Supreme copies of these books are becoming scarcer as the days tick by, and a new kind of copy is emerging in prominence: […]
Star Wars Kenner figures will forever be collectible and near and dear to collector's hearts. They may not have been the first action figures, but they are some of the best. When Empire Strikes Back came out, one of the most talked-about figures and looks was the new look for Han Solo. Arguably more iconic […]
I very much remember walking into my local comic shop and seeing this cover of Wizard Magazine #148 and just staring at it for a really long time. There is something just so iconic about the way that Jim Lee draws Superman; it is the perfect blend of alien and human. He makes every image […]
Thundercats fans listen up: there is quite the piece of production cell art up for auction right now at Comic Connect. Featuring Lion-O himself, there are all kinds of animation cell artwork from that show out there, but it has been a long time since I have seen Lion-O art come up. This is part […]
Welcome to the motherlode of Zack Snyder auctions. The blood-spattered smiley button from the 2009 adaptation of Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The actual button used in the movie, worn by The Comedian, and picked up by Rorschach and appearing prominently in all marketing for the film. This should be going for big bucks […]
Say what you will about X3, and many of us have, but one thing you have to admit is that the make-up department did a great job, especially when it came to Beast, as played by Kelsey Grammar in the film. I still think that they nailed that casting, and it is surreal to think […]
Spider-Man 2099 is one of the most-loved characters of the 90's, and with good reason. Look at just the costume alone, it instantly jumps off the page and just FEELS cool. Not a lot of characters make a splash like this version of Spidey did back then, and is still making a huge impression now. […]
Pokémon as a franchise has received major acclaim and success worldwide. The mega-popular franchise's video games and anime were a huge hit in the United States in particular. However, this brand's popularity would be nowhere near as huge as it is today without the help of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Players in the United States might […]
