Did you notice there’s a pence version? It’s not a very high grade though. Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It bugs me to see “Atlas” on pre hero Marvels. If they need a strict dividing line, they can use January 1959. Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy book to find in nice shape!!! Nice consolation prize! I noticed the bidding on CLink (and everywhere else) has been pretty aggressive for all the PHM books. Some strong prices realized across the board. -bc Frisco Larson and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Worlds 1 was cover dated 12/58 That issue also saw the beginning of the "T" job codes as well as a shift to various sub-publishers like Manvis, Zenith and Vista. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This one to me has historical significance too because it’s got Kirby, Ditko, and monsters. Now if it only had Stan Lee it would be a pre-pre-hero Marvel. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They missed out on some great concepts: Beware of Meowzer! or The Nine Lives of Furrbo! or Clawzilla Strikes!

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) If you're not into high grade copies, there're way more affordable than some superhero stuff. I originally started collecting them because I couldn't afford Silver Age Spider-Man at the time. The only one of these I spent over a $100 on was the #1 5 minutes ago, universal soldier said: This thread is dangerous for me. Always loved this era of books but have never dabbled.

frozentundraguy Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Put in an offer at HighGradeComics for WOF #17 and it was accepted in less than 15 minutes. Now I just have to wait as they confirm if they still have the book or not. My well read LCS copy.
