One of my favorite all-age covers is Captain America Annual #8. When I saw the art by Mike Zeck; I couldn't wait to read it and see who wins in a battle between the ultimate superhero (Cap) and the greatest anti-hero (Wolvie). Captain America as corny as...
Star Wars has left an indelible memory for fans and naysayers alike. The concept of "The Force" is something that everyone can relate to. The stories are pretty straightforward with good and evil opposed. Evil always seems to have an edge but good manages through hard action...
Comic books like all collectibles have value based off condition. This is not the lone determinant but it definitely quantifies the range of prices for a book. For instance, what is the range on a Spider-Man #1 in fair condition with a rating CGC of 1.0 grade?...

The Amazing Spider-Man is the first and only series I suggest for new collectors, investors and or speculators that are just entering comic collecting. The bizarre almost unlimited choices of the comic book collecting universe are so diverse it must look impossible to choose where to start...

The early bird gets the worm. Yes, take flight with these Canadian superheroes. Folks their books are still dirt cheap. Now not everyone is into Alpha Flight, but I always thought they were cool, and there was an interesting tie-in with Wolverine. The best character of the...
Have you seen Netflix's Daredevil Season 3? Truly an epic storytelling, packed with action, betrayal, Catholic guilt, drama, the F.B.I., serial killer sensibilities, and one heck of a first appearance of the one n' only, Bullseye. In the comics, this masked killer haunted, stalked and ultimately killed...
