Technically the Eternals have been around since at least Red Raven Comics #1

Yup.

I’ll be hitting the comic shops tomorrow to see if I can find some underpriced copies in the bargain bins before the word gets around.

As I recall, some transaction drama between him and another boardie. Can't find the thread at the moment

I would challenge that, Please show some panels with the Eternals from Red Raven 1 or Captain America 1, or any other book. Don't go by Wiki or what is listed out there, read the books and judge for yourself. Retcons don't matter much anyways

It is a retcon.  I do read books.  Anything else?

Not sure if you guys consider it copper age but Thor 337 seems to be heating up the past couple of days

Good either way; from a transitional period. I'll always see it as early Copper Age, but some have redefined it as very late Bronze.

I wouldn't quibble about it.

It's amazing to me that a book like Eternals has turned almost overnight from a dollar bin book to a 100 book (raw). I was talking to someone this weekend about it and he was saying that a price correction was well overdue on this book and the TV show talks were the spark that set it aflame. If we were to go by that example then I would also consider speculating on a book like (Kirby's) Sandman #1. It's still a very affordable book and definitely in dire need of a price correction

Sandman might be a harder sell though it could make a killer kids/young adult movie. Vertigo's Sandman I feel will happen first. HBO would be a fantastic place for it.

I wasn't necessarily advicating Kirby's Sandman as an optioned property. But merely using the Eternals example as a book that needed a price correction. It did. I am in the belief that Sandman 1 is extremely undervalued, both as a first appearance and as a Kirby bronze classic. Up until now I thought that since it was massively overprinted a price correction wouldn't makes sense. But as with the Eternals example, it clearly could. And it should

I agree, I find the book hard to find in very high grades, most are beat up.

The Price didn't sell very well and in 1981 not too many shops were bagging magazine type books. It was kind of an odd book. Not a comic, and  not a magazine . Trade paperbacks and graphic novels were still a few years away from really being popular. I remember seeing this in a shop and being turned off by cover price.  I think this book is much rarer than Vanths first appearances in Epic Magazine.
