Giant Size Spider-Man (and Punisher) #4, from 1975, early Punisher appearance. VF 8.0, except two interior pages (#25, 27) have tears on right side—one is 1/4" in and up, and in margin only, other is 1.5" and goes in through Spidey's chest up to his chin. Scans will give you an idea. (Anyone ever figure how much to grade off for that stuff?) Back bottom spine corner has light crunch/bend area about 3/4" into cover, won't show in scans; appears to be a very thin little tiny slit at bottom staple bump on front cover, and little stress spot below that in army guys; very light thin indent line above 'group' at top edge, curved, about 1" long. Along the spine, the white edge overruns the cover about 1/8" at the widest point at top, then narrows as it goes down. Very clean and bright, great color, gloss, and nice edges. (Back cover bottom edge has two tiny v-shaped production ticks/nicks.) Spine is pretty square still. Light tan/off-white pages...$35 (View) (View page tears) (View back)

Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 1:
1976 series run/lot from #99-263 when it ended in 1998. Missing #'s 176, 184, 185. Run includes Spectacular Scarlet Spider #1, 2, Flashback -1, Annuals #6, 7, 8, 9, & 12 (may be willing to sell annuals and Flashback -1 separately, ask). So 170 issues total, all first prints. Most of the first 25 issues or so were bought off the newsstand or by mail subscription from Marvel, so they range from a VG subscription-fold one, a few Fines, to most being VF- to VF/NM. Most copies above #126 are direct market ones, and most are NM/NM-, with about 10 in VF to VF/NM, 1 VG, and a couple Fine to F/VF. Some will have a slight "valley" along the spine or open edge, from not being lined up perfectly straight in the boxes/filing cabinets, which is a common thing. Some are 2 to a bag, most are bulk bagged in mag bags, and only a few have backing boards. If there was a choice, I bought the deluxe issue, so there's a number of $2.95 - $3.95 fancy covers. #213 includes the animation "cel" print. My price is about $1.17 per issue, vs. the $2.50-$3.99 cover price for new comics, so get this for you or the kids to enjoy...$200
Save $50 and buy the Spectacular and Web runs for $275!
#2 − Kraven and the Tarantula appearances. Overall VF+ 8.5 at least. Has one medium size, but not heavy spine kink at mid-spine (light valley to it, minor stress mark); has a couple dull patches in the gloss here and there, likely from another comic sticking slightly when they were new, but no color peels or flakes...$12 (View)
#28 − Pt. 2 of the Daredevil crossover, Frank Miller art. NM- 9.2, just a couple/three very small spine kinks/stress marks, all very very short...$12 (View)
#131 − Kraven's Last Hunt, part 3. NM- 9.2...$3 (View)
Web of Spider-Man Vol. 1:
1985 series #1-129 run, only missing #104. Includes Web of Scarlet Spider #1-4, New Warriors #67, Annuals #1, 2, 4, and 8 (may be willing to sell annuals separately, ask). 137 issues total, all are 1st prints. Here's the general info on this run: This run is for READING, not for investment, as it's not an all NM run, besides being the least popular of the 3 old Spidey titles. #1, while NM, has a bad cut and staple job from the factory, with some pages having the art trimmed off a little on the open edge, and it was folded/stapled with about a 1/2" over-wrap, so about 1/2 the back pages are 'short' of the front half (View front & back). #2-26 were mostly purchased off the newsstand by me, before I was a "collector", and they range from several VG's and VG/F's, to mostly F/VF to VF+, so no great shakes there. MOST books above #34 are NM/NM- direct market copies, with a few VF+, a couple Fines, and a couple newsstand issues. "Key" issues of #29, 31, 32, 48 are NM to NM- though. Some will have a slight "valley" along the spine or open edge, from not being lined up perfectly straight in the boxes/filing cabinets, which is a common thing. Some are 2 to a bag, some are bulk bagged in mag bags, and only a few have backing boards. Several issues have $2.95-$3.95 cover prices. #90 has the neat big hologram cover, #113 comes with the cel print, #125 has a neat Holodisc on the cover. If there was a choice, I bought the deluxe cover. New comics are $2.50-$3.99 now, so these back issues are a bargain at what I'm going to ask, which comes to about $.92¢ per book!...$125

Marvel Mini-books:
These miniature comics are from 1966, and only 5/8"x7/8", and are known as the world's smallest comics. (Listed in Overstreet in the Promotional comics section under Marvel Mini-books.) They were distributed in gumball machines, and they made 6 titles in 6 colors: Captain America, Incredible Hulk, Millie the Model, Sgt. Nick Fury, Spider-Man, and Thor, in red, orange, blue, green, light green/lime, and yellow covers. About 50 pages, black & white, usually with an illustration on one page and text on the facing page. Some have stories (usually reprinted material from what I've read), and some are joke books. Insides are all the same per title, only the cover colors change. They have a glued binding, and many other's copies have dried out and are very fragile, but mine are all in good shape, but I'd be very wary about trying to read them anyway. Mine were not out of gumball machines, they were unused overstock, and most are in very nice shape, but quality varies, especially with the back covers. The pics are several times larger than the actual books, so the defects will look way bigger too, but in person most of the defects are tiny. Colors in the pics will vary between titles, but in person they're all about the same. The red ones tend to be more intense in scans or camera pics, and the yellow ones not so much. I can email larger/sharper pics of fronts and backs too.
They supposedly made millions of them, and they're not as rare now as once believed, so don't believe that 'rare' hype. Most all of mine have some edge flaking, this is very common. These are all I have left now. PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING TOO:

#15 − All new Medusa story (from the Inhumans), by Archie Goodwin, art by Gene Colan, plus reprints. VF 8.0, white pages. Medusa vs. the Trapster, Sandman and the Wizard. Nice copy, and it has the "normal" printing spots all over the cover from them stacking them before ink was dry, which most of this issue's print run had. They show some in the scan as the pinkish spots in the title, but show more in person. Main defect is a vertical 1.5" upward bend ridge near right edge, about 3" up from the bottom. No color break, and doesn't show in the scan, but noticeable in person; minor little kink spot at bottom left edge in Medusa's foot; top right corner has faint 1/2" mostly vertical bend to it, hardly noticeable; 3-4 worthless short stress marks on spine in the white border, they show more on the flat edge; decently square spine, and cover is otherwise smooth, edges are clean; back cover has some usual transfer "dirt", not bad...$18 (View)
#16 − First Silver Age appearance (?) of the Phantom Eagle (Who? Some WWI fighter plane guy.) All new story, plus Golden Age reprints with Sub-Mariner, Captain America etc.. VF+ 8.5, nice off-white/white pages. Has a "JUN 25 1968" date stamp above his cape; bottom right corner has several short creases in tip, 3/16" and less, plus a thin 1/4" vertical stress line to the left, and hint of a corner bend/ding when glinted; a few of those common printing dot spots along bottom edge; nice spine, with only 1 very slight kink/indent; back cover has super light 1/2" corner crease/wrinkle lower left, only seen when glinted...$13 (View)
#19 − All new Kazar story, George Tuska art, plus Golden Age reprints. 1968. Oh, VF- (7.5), off-white pages, with a couple "buts". Nice overall, but has a blue pen streak near top edge just off the Marvel box. It's about 7/8" total, but only 1/2" really shows, rest trails off; down the spine edge about 1/4", there's a 1/4" split, don't know how that happens. Above the split there's no tear, but cover isn't glued to pages there. Split doesn't show unless you open it and look inside, otherwise all you see is a fuzzy line. Lower right corner has 1/4" and 1/16" creases; top right corner has faint 3/16" bend from tip ding, also on back corner, ding shows on most page tips; 3/8" thumbed stress line midpoint bottom edge; little chip/tick off bottom spine edge. Clean, nice color. Priced below guide Fine...$10 (View)
#19 − second copy, VG 4.0, but looks like VF at first. Main problem is spine stuff. Has a 1.25" spine split at top, and a 1/8" tick flap there, still attached; 1/4" crease bend upper right corner, goes through book; middle third of open edge has thumbed stress/mushing; back cover has very mild 2.5" and 3/4" corner bends, lower left, don't show in the white background. And somehow pages 1-8 weren't stapled with the bottom staple! Top staple is secure with them. Nice reader copy, way under guide VG price...$3 (View)
#20 − All new Dr. Doom solo story, from 1969, which should make this far more collectible than the guide shows (how can it be worth less than #15 & #16?). Oh, VF- 7.5 or so, off-white pages. Doom vs. Diablo (Master of Alchemy, and really clich́e villain phrases). Plus more Golden Age reprints. Top right corner has most of a 1/2" stress line, and inside of that is a 3/16" crease, but it's all flat there; some minor abrasions down the open edge, with a 1"+ thumbed stress line nearer bottom, in Doom's Cape along edge; bottom right corner has 3/16" crease, and fuzzing at tip; bottom edge has 7 or so yellowish printing scuff dots; white scuff dot at bottom staple bump, and some abrasion rub along top edge below that spot; top staple pokes through tiny hole at C in "Marvel Comics Group"; nice spine otherwise, no kinks/stresses to mention; light dirt in white letters of title; has very fine/light shelfwear or shipping rub scratches all over, not sure how that's done the way it is on this copy, but no heavy ones or color breaking scratches...$18 (View)

Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D./SHIELD, 1968 series (ABC has picked up the TV series for fall 2013!):
#3 VG/F 5.0, off-white pages. Steranko cover & story. Looks better than grade, main defect is a 1" corner crease upper right; about 7 very thin 2-4mm spine stresses, hardly detract; fuzz at bottom spine corner; 1/16" tip crease bottom right; and found 2 water/moisture spots on cover—one 3/16"L x 1/8"H in R in Fury, shows as dull spot, but inside there's a stain spot;
other lighter dull spot in E in SHIELD title, about 1/2"L x 3/16"H, has scattered little dull spots spreading off of it; a few little ones in Marvel box above Fury. You don't see the spots unless glinted or you're told where they are. And argh, a water stain that shows on inside front
cover on bottom edge near spine—two spots, bigger one is 3/4" wide, about 3/8" high at highest point, and a 1/4" one above it. Doesn't show on front due to green grass color, and is not all fuzzy or browned like bad stains, but has discoloration. Only affects the inside cover, not interior pages.
Otherwise nice glossy cover, nice edges. Back cover is clean and nice...$12 (View)
#6 VF- 7.5, off-white/white pages. Steranko cover. Five or six 3-4mm very thin spine stress lines, not kinked. 2 odd other wrinkle/stress lines are what cut down the grade: One curls down from top edge above Fury title to D in S.H.I.E.L.D., so about 2.5" long, but very thin, only the 1" part above Fury shows super thin white crack line, rest trails off, but you can see the slight indent/bend to it when glinted; other one runs vertical near spine edge, about 3.5" long, very thin; top right corner has some thin/very light stress lines too, no bends; Marvel box has a super light/thin vertical print crease running through Fury, can see it better on inside, almost invisible on outside; couple very minor thumbed edge stresses along top, barely noticeable; bottom spine corner has little impact ding and light 1/8" stress/crease. About 5 middle pages have 2-3" printing creases across top right corner, and last couple pages have a couple 3"+ dips/bends from printer too. Nice clean off-white back cover...$29 (View)
#7 Fine- 5.5, off-white pages. Steranko cover. Top right corner has thin 1" corner crease, light bend to it, and it goes through the book, with 3/4" crease on back cover corner; stress fractures along top edge overhang; 5 or so spine kinks, most very mild, one at bottom is worst, with thin dip extending about 1/2" in; couple 3/16" stress marks too, 3-4 other short ones, most hide well in the art. Back cover shows some very light indent lines near bottom spine corner, 1/4 to 1/2"; two dull spots in ad that look like thumb prints when glinted, can't see otherwise...$13 (View)
#10 VF 8.0, off-white/white pages. Christmas story, hence the cover art. Very nice at first glance, little niggling things keep it from VF+. About 7 very thin 2-3mm spine stresses/fractures, no kinks; slight abrasion along bottom edge; some pin-tip size indents in the red ornament, most at bottom, one near top; light color rub/scuff spot in bad guy's eye (right one looking at it), another very minor scuff in ornament neck; 3/8" light print crease in Fury's ornament near bottom. There's no extra black piece along the top, that's a scanner thing. Back cover is clean, off-white, has a 1/8" little layer peel/scuff spot near open edge...$19 (View)
#13 Fine 6.0, off-white/white pages. Vs. the Super Patriot. Mostly it's spine kinks/stresses, plus a 1/2"w x 3/4"h very light moisture stain in top of flag stripes, not solid, no waviness or fuzzing, easy to overlook. Has about a dozen various stress marks, half are 1/8", others are shorter and hard to see in the yellow part, but have mild kinks to them too, a couple valleys extend 1/4" to 1/2" into cover, but shallow. 1/4" dip/kink at .12 price is heaviest one. Top right corner has very light writing imprint of price, covers about 3/4"x3/4" above and into Comics Code box, shows when glinted. 1.5" thin horizontal printing wrinkle at Super Patriot's right foot, another lighter 1" vertical one in gun shadow on flag; little abrasion at bottom spine corner and some along bottom edge; few light reading kinks bottom area. Nice back cover, bottom spine corner shows minor ding...$8 (View)
#15 VF- 7.5, off-white/white pages. First appearance of AN assassin named "Bulls-Eye," but NOT the same one from Daredevil later (Bullseye), this was this guy's first and last appearance, but still high priced in guides. Little fuzzy/rub at top spine tip with the little tick piece there; in Marvel box, there's two little white rub dots right next to black edge across from Fury's shoulder, 3-4 really thin 3mm stress lines/wrinkles, another at top staple; at bottom of top staple, you can see one of those "<" shaped kinks going out 1/2" from it when you glint it, but very very light and shallow, and bottom staple hole has 1/16" tear, melds well so hard to see. Rest of spine is nice, but has very shallow valley the length of it, nothing I count off for though; bottom edge has very slight abrasion along most of it, worst part is near spine where it has the most minor of curl/mush to it, about 3/4" long; open edge has about a 2" section near bottom of white edge abrasions, but broken up. Back: upper left corner area of back cover got bent a little long ago, leaving a couple/3 very light wrinkle lines. Worst one is about an inch down, across corner, maybe 2.5", oh so slightly raised, only about 1.25" of it is noticeable. Inside cover, the ad shows white stress in the black part of that wrinkle. Other wrinkle lines are above it, longest is 3.5" if you count the last part as the same line, which it may not be; another very faint one above that is about 1" long. Can e-mail large scan of back...$32 (View)

this issue on that auction site, even in mid-grade. Bottom right corner has a faint 1/4" bend with 1/8" stress line, and small abrasion spot near it on edge; small 'd', 5/16" high, written in pen on back cover in lower spine corner; a horizontal row of light printer handling tracks across the cover, middle of Kray-Tor's
forehead, seen when glinted; little kink/bump in top left corner with longer faint 'ghost' bend outside of that. If people are paying $25/$36/$40+ for lousy Fines to F/VF's or poorly graded VF's, then you can pay me...$35 (View) (View back)

Thor Vol. 1 (a.k.a. The Mighty Thor):
#158 − Reprints his 1st appearance from Journey Into Mystery #83. VF- 7.5, maybe F/VF 7.0 to be pickier, as two interior pages have decent tears, but not at the edge, in the middle of the pages! Weird. Nice color and gloss, and overall outside is decent. Upper right tip has multiple
white line creases, only about 3/16" in from edge, longest crease is 3/8"; two noticeable spine stress marks, one in Marvel box is 1/8", and one below that box is
about 1/4", but thin, and barely kinked/valleyed. There's 3-4 other light short kinks on down the spine, and two light valley bends in lower part, but you pretty much have to glint it to see that stuff. The interior page tears are on pg. 4 and 20, which is another oddity about
them. Pg. 4 one is a semi-circle/hump-shaped tear, about 1.25" in width, and .75" high, in Thor's lower right leg (HIS right) and cape. Page 20 (last story page) tear is bigger, but hardly noticeable on pg. 20, but easier to see on back, pg. 21. If you didn't know it was on pg. 20, you wouldn't notice it as it melds very well. It's about
2" long, in a diagonal partial curve, in lower right panel, around Dr. Blake's head. Both tears meld well so they don't jump out at you, and I had the book for years before I saw them. Has some of that "top edge bend over" stress line too...$22 (View) (View page tears, top is pg. 4, bottom is pg. 21 side)
#162 VF- 7.5, off-white/white pages. 1969, first part of the origin of Galactus, one of the fan favorite cosmic characters. #168 & 169 are the other 2 parts. 6-7 thin minor spine stress marks, longest is 3mm at mid spine, others are 2mm, couple have slight kinks to them; top staple has some rust, egad! No stain on book. Feels smooth, but you can tell there's rust along inside edges and it's all darker than normal; bottom staple may have some slight rust along part of edge too, hard to tell; near Thor's neck is a slightly raised kink line about 1.5" long, barest color break on some of it; bottom right corner has 2mm edge mush/crease on tip, with vertical 1/4" barely-a-stress line outside of it. Inside front cover shows some tiny pinpoint foxing spots along bottom margin. Back cover has a barely visible moisture stain on open edge, about 1/2" long, you can just detect the stain line around edges of it; a few small dull areas, probably from finger oil, and you can find some tiny bits of foxing here and there, barely worth mentioning; 3 little rust stain slivers along spine from another comic, 1mm, 1/8" & 3/16"; inside back cover has bunch of light brown pinpoint foxing spots though, mostly along spine, bottom & right margins. Not terrible, but there...$25 (View)
#168 F/VF 7.0, off-white pages, part two of the Origin of Galactus. Couple medium spine kinks, worst in Marvel box at Thor's head, with 3/8" stress line and shallow valley kink, and 3 other little stress marks around top staple; another 3/8" valley kink near mid spine, with very light one a bit below it; and 3-4 other 1/8" or less thin stress/wrinkles that are hard to see in the white; 1" vertical thumbed stress line at Galactus' shoulder at edge; top right corner has slight 3/8" diagonal ding/bend, with 3/16" one inside of it, does affect most pages. Back cover top left corner has small "50" in very light pencil, and 1.25" print crease near lower corner, and a @#% little 1/2"L x 1/8"H light water stain at bottom spine corner, not dark, but has brownish outline edge...$21 (View)
#169 F/VF 7.0, off-white pages. Part 3 of origin of Galactus. Looks better at first glance. 1" thumbed stress line at midpoint right edge; top spine corner has slightest ding/stress, 3/16", fuzzy tip; couple very slight downward slanting binding stresses in Marvel box, and 3mm one at M in Marvel; couple 1-2mm stresses between staples; 1.25" shallow, almost unnoticeable vertical indent/bend at bottom near spine, goes up through E in "The"; very slight abrasions along some of bottom edge; 1/4" hard to find crease/stress line at bottom edge, right corner (from overrun bend), corner tip has tiny piece off; some normal light dirtiness in Galactus, as most have, with some scattered dull spots and swipes you can see when glinted, but very light, hard to tell if they're production gloss problems or from old handling, but don't appear to be foxing related, and most I've seen have some of this in the white area; one apparent little 2-3mm moisture spot on Galactus' shoulder, Thor's pointing to it. Back cover has a 1/8" edge tear and vertical 1.75" thumbed crease line with it, middle of open edge, but barely shows on outside, but shows more on inside...$21 (View)

Tomb of Dracula #50 − 1972 series. Silver Surfer vs. Dracula cover and story, Blade appearance too. Gene Colan art. VF/NM, off-white pages. Looks even better, but back cover has a 1" vertical bend/crease on top left corner (open edge), but all in the white; 2 maybe 2mm production tears along bottom edge on front and bottom spine corner has tick tear on back; 3.5" horizontal indent line across Dracula's chest, probably a production thing, noticeable when glinted, but razor thin, no color breaks, not a printing crease, won't show on scan; two very minor spine kinks, 1 in mid-spine, 1 in top banner...$18 (View front) (View back)
Warlock (Power of, 1972 series):

Gamora appearance (she's in the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy movie). Very nice, but has a light indent line in lower left in Thanos' jaw (runs vertically at slight angle), about 2" long, and another short light 3/8" one near mid-spine, otherwise nice spine, pretty
kink free; top right edge has very faint 1.5" light bend curl to it, due to that edge/corner getting bent over, and back cover shows the bend line on it better, but in white margin, so doesn't show well...$17 (View)
#11 VF- 7.5. Continues the story from #10, with Thanos. Gamora appearance too (she's in the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy movie).

Pro Action magazine #1, 1994. A collaborative effort from Marvel Comics and NFL Properties, "Where Pro football, comics, and pop culture collide," this 48 page mag has features on NFL stuff, and Marvel stuff. Has Troy Aikman cover and article, with Wolverine slashing
"through" it. The 2 neat features it has are an original Uncanny X-Men comic book bound in, with a Wolverine cover. 16 page story featuring Callisto and the Morlocks, ("My Enemy, My Friend," by Ralph Macchio and Chris Marrinin), and two 4-card sheets of high quality trading cards: One sheet has Cyclops, Storm, Gambit, and Wolverine, other
sheet has NFL Quarterbacks Randall Cunningham (Eagles), Steve Young (49ers), Phil Simms (Giants), and Warren Moon (Oilers). Also articles on rookie 49ers player Todd Kelley, interview with coach Dave Shula (Don Shula's son), Junior Seau's workout routine, and more. I have several, in NM-, VF/NM, VF, VF- and one in VG+, due to it's back cover getting several creases, and
some spine wear on the front, but insides are ok. The defects on the others are just a few spine kinks of various sizes. $2.95 cover. This should be a lot more valuable by now, due to the original comic and exclusive cards, and I didn't find very many for sale now on the net, but seems there's not a lot of demand for it still.

Marvel Treasury Edition comics:
Produced from 1974 to 1981, these are large comics, 10"x13.5" or so, with 48-96 pages (publisher usually counts covers too, I don't, so page counts may differ from what you see in guides, but all pages are there), and thicker cardstock covers. Keep the size in mind when reading sizes of any defects, as it's all relative. The comics are not miscut, bent or curved, that's just the camera lens and my non-expert photography doing that. I've always thought these were very neat comics, undervalued for the all-new story ones, so I collected these back in the late '80s/early '90s at shows and via mail order. From what I've seen on auctions, most people selling these can't grade to save their lives, and are not comic people, and are misrepresenting the condition, or not even stating a condition, and have lousy pics, so auctions prices are sometimes very high for junk copies, and very low for high grade ones. Ask for grade details people, and don't bid if they won't provide them or they "don't know about grading"! Larger pics available.
