Aside from the main titles like Tales to Astonish, TOS, JIM, Strange Tales etc..., what's a good affordable/undervalued title? Do I need to consider a second mortgage to look at the more mainstream titles? I do have some smaller runs of them but all Silver. I would say World of Fantasy, Strange Worlds, Amazing Adventures, Amazing Adult Fantasy, and World of Mystery are fun to collect because there aren’t a whole lot of issues to buy in order to complete a run. I like Marvel Tales but there’s no way a normal person can get a run because the numbering starts with Marvel Comics #1. The Amazing Adult Fantasy’s are a little more because that title gave birth to Spidey (maybe?). Or it could be that Ditko covers go for a premium?

A prerequisite for being a Pre- Hero Marvel has to be that it has Lee, Kirby, Ditko, and no horror in it. frozentundraguy, universal soldier, KirbyJack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 178 PHM books and I somehow accumulated about 250 (that's what I get for going to conventions without a list). I'll have to make a list and post it here first. -bc Did someone say make a list of comic books? To be serious I did create an excel list of Ace books I was collecting, printed it using a small portion of a page about 4 by 5 inches, folded that and put it in my wallet. I could then scan that and see if I needed the book or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss it in here anytime you want! That was my very first PHM, recommended by Nelson Dodds. He was setup at the Medina County Fairground (they had a monthly flea market). I had been buying early SA books from him with what little cash I had back then, one day he pulled that book out and gave me an intro to "Pre-Hero Marvels" - I just thought it was cool because it was so old. -bc KirbyJack, Jasonmorris1000000, Mucheee1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Thanks bc!
