Currently, there is so much speculation around thi

Currently, there is so much speculation around this book based on a post on Key Collector, saying they might be the villains in The Thunderbolts. It features the 1st team appearance of the Squadron Supreme, a heroic version of the Squadron Sinister: Hyperion, Nighthawk, American Eagle, Golden Archer, Lady Lark and Tom Thumb.

Hyperion, Dr. Spectrum, Nighthawk, and Whizzer appear briefly in Avengers #69 as Squadron Sinister and fully in Avengers #70. As of August 2022—once again, Hyperion and Squadron Supreme in the MCU are unconfirmed rumors circulating, with some scoopers suggesting a debut in Thunderbolts.

Price-wise, this book would set you back anywhere from $35 (R650) up to $350 (R6500) depending on the grade. Before the hype picks up, I'd say now is a great time to hunt for it! 🚀💸 Share the excitement with your fellow collectors! 📚✨

Not all grails are made equal! If all else fails, there's nothing wrong with a second or third appearance, right? 😅

Take a look at this gorgeous book! Tales of Suspense #46 features:

1st appearance of Crimson Dynamo, Anton Vanko
2nd appearance of Pepper Potts
2nd appearance of Happy Hogan

Printed in 1963, it's not the cheapest book, but it would still be an awesome piece in any collection! 😎 Would you like to own this book?

Alright, so when we talk about spine wear in a com

Alright, so when we talk about spine wear in a comic book, we're basically looking at the wear and tear that happens along the spine — the edge that holds all the pages together. It's the spot where you'd see signs of reading, handling, or sometimes not-so-great storage. 📚

You might notice creases from flipping through the pages, stress marks if the comic got opened too wide, or color breaks where the ink on the spine has worn off, showing white or faded lines. And let's not forget about rolling or tears along the spine, which can happen if the comic hasn't been treated too kindly.

Why does it matter? Well, when you're into collecting and grading comics, the condition of the spine is a big deal. It affects how the comic looks overall and can influence its value. So, taking good care of that spine is key to keeping your comic collection in top-notch shape! 🦸‍♂️

1963! One cool comic book released in 1963 is "The Amazing Spider-Man" #1, published by Marvel Comics.

Is this book 60 years old this year? You betcha!!

This issue marked the first solo appearance of Spider-Man in his own series. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, the comic introduced readers to Peter Parker, a high school student who gains spider-like abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" #1 is a landmark issue in the history of comics, as it set the stage for one of the most beloved and enduring superhero characters of all time.

Here's a valuable tip if you have any comics on display: Rotate Your Comics! 🔄

Comics are like fine art - exposure to light can cause fading and damage over time.

To ensure even aging, periodically rotate the comics you have on display or exposed to light. We do not mean you must turn your comic upside down, we mean you pack it away and put another on display! This way, every issue gets its time in the spotlight while the rest get a break in the proverbial backstage.

It's a simple move that can help preserve the vibrancy of your entire collection. Happy rotating! 📚

💥 Ever wondered why "us" collectors keep our books standing upright (in bags and boards of course)? Well, picture this: you've got a stash of comic books you treasure like gold, right? Well, if you want to keep 'em in tip-top shape, here's the deal - stand those beauties upright, don't pile 'em up! 📚

🦸‍♂️ Why? Because comic book spines are like the superheroes of your collection, and they need to be treated with care. Stacking your comics puts a ton of weight on the spine, and over time, that's a recipe for creases and damage.

Plus, keeping your comics upright means you can easily grab the one you want without digging through the stack. No more wrestling matches with your collection! And if you're into showing off those awesome covers, this method's a win-win. So remember, keep 'em standing tall, and your comics will stay in "superhero" shape for years to come! 💥🦸‍♂️

So 😱, here's the deal: this comic series, created by Robert Kirkman and brought to life by Tony Moore, takes you into a post-apocalyptic world swarming with zombies, or as they call 'em, "walkers." But it's not just about blood and guts (though there's plenty of that). It's about real people trying to survive, making tough choices, and holding onto their humanity when the world goes down the drain. 💥

Now, what's super cool about this series is how characters evolve, relationships twist and turn, and the moral compass goes haywire. It's a wild ride that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. And if you're a fan of the TV show, this is where it all began! The comic series wrapped up in 2019 after a brilliant 193 issues, so you can read the whole saga. 💔🔪

If all else fails, the show was pretty good as well!

📚 To truly immerse oneself in the rich and dive

📚 To truly immerse oneself in the rich and diverse world of comic books, the most crucial tip is to read widely and explore beyond familiar genres and publishers. 📖

Moreover, exploring comics from various publishers, each with its own unique storytelling style and artistic flair, provides a broader perspective on the medium and its limitless potential. 🌌🚀

In essence, the tip to read widely in comics encourages enthusiasts to step out of their comfort zones, fostering a deeper appreciation for the vast storytelling possibilities this medium offers.

Ever wondered how to tell if a comic book is a fir

Ever wondered how to tell if a comic book is a first print? 🧐 We've got you covered with a handy guide.⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Check the Number: The first three numbers in the series (like 001) typically refer to the issue number.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Watch for That "1": The first digit in the number sequence is the key. If it's a "1," you're likely looking at the first printing.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Mind the Variant: Now, if that first number is a 2 or 3, it's not a deal-breaker! It means you've got a variant cover in your hands. 😎⁠
⁠
4️⃣ Look at the Fifth Digit: The fifth and final number in the sequence tells you how many times it's been printed. A "1" here indicates the first printing.⁠
⁠
But what about those second print comics? 🔄⁠
⁠
📚 Second Print Comics: These have been printed after the initial release. They're usually a result of high demand for the first print.⁠
⁠
Because of their rarity, second print comics can become collector's items. They allow fans to get their hands on a comic that was once out of reach. Plus, they play a crucial role in keeping the comic book industry thriving. 🦸‍♂️💥⁠
⁠
So, when you're on the hunt for comics, keep an eye out for second prints to make sure you're getting an original rather than a reproduction. Happy collecting, everyone! 📖🚀 ⁠
