Key Largo Comics Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think the early BWS run will benefit. Especially the REH adaptations if the show stays somewhat faithful to those storylines. aardvark88, jimjum12 and Jordysnordy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The Conan run minus the few keys is just way TOO cheap. Growth is almost inevitable. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) NP_Gresham, Jordysnordy and divad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know from following the owner of the Conan film rights closely, that when Amazon was looking at the property the initial episodes were going to be The Frost Giants Daughter. So Conan #16 might be a sneaky pickup. I have my share fair share of copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It's a short stack with all the possibilities; don't forget #58 (1st Belit). Key Largo Comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterX Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Actually, Belit's 1st appearance is in Giant-Size Conan #1. It's a single-panel cameo (in a flashback) but she's identified as Belit. Her first full appearance is in Conan #58. I wonder which one the speculators/investors will gravitate toward. Belit does appear on the cover of Conan #58, which weighs in its favor, I think.

Number 6 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Help me understand why Daredevil #163 is so much more expensive. I get Hulk vs Thing or Hulk vs Thor being stand-out battles. But Hulk vs Daredevil? I don’t get what the drive is for the price. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belit does appear on the cover of Conan #58, which weighs in its favor, I think. There have been a few old threads on this but the only appearance in GS#1 is her name 'Belit' - the woman pictured is blonde. Frankly, this is perhaps the worst '1st appearances' citations ever but when the book is slabbed, it is tough to see - really not sure why Overstreet et al doesn't fix this one. I'm a mild victim because I picked a pair of GS #1s up for the 1st App of Belit but then actually looked at it - Conan 58 is the 1st appearance, one day justice will be done!

Since it's in flashback with a nod to prior source material, the GS1 treatment comes pretty close to a strictly defined "cameo" as opposed to an actual first appearance, albeit in a strange "back to the future' kind of way.

I agree with you, but unfortunately, if someone who wasn't inclined to do their homework googled "Marvel First Appearance Belit" and least four websites come up listing GCC #1, including wiki and marvel fandom. However, Marvel.com lists Conan #58 as the fist app, so there's still hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 1 hour ago, divad said: Also FM Yeah, except it it’s FM on the surrounding issues too. And FM did about a dozen Hulk covers so it’s not like it’s the only time he’s ever drawn the Hulk. And I don’t think FM has ever been considered a “classic” Hulk artist. His Hulk cover issues really don’t command a premium. The darker cover vs high-grade would kind of make sense except 164 has a lot of black in the cover which would also make it difficult in high-grade yet it doesn’t see the same price spike as 163. I guess I still don’t understand the rationale behind the pricing. I can’t think of another example of where the appearance of the Hulk boosts the value of the book that much. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool research...yes, we agree - just not sure why the other folks don't modify their records, Conan 58 is much more clear a first appearance than Hulk 181 for example.

We really want to get picky, the character actually first showed up in unauthorized Mexican comics... that actually have pretty awesome covers, from what I've seen: https://www.comics.org/series/61837/covers/ I'll just do things the simple way, and have copies of both the GSC 1 and Conan #58... and I agree, the GSC 1 shouldn't really count.

Yes... but unless you have that pesky issue of Weird Tales from the 30's, you still won't actually have her first appearance GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to content myself with the first appearance of Valeria, then. Pretty sure her first marvel appearance would be Savage Tales #2, so I'm good both ways: divad and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
