Action Comics #419, DC Comics, December 1972 Time to step aside and let first-time guest Spotlight writer Carey take the Stage. Is it me or did Carey just dis my brilliant Friday Foster pick? If I didn’t like Carey’s pick…

Detective Comics #27, DC Comics, May 1939. I’ve always wanted to write-up a complicated essay on Detective Comics #27. Over the years I’ve had a couple of abortive starts, giving up when I realized the work needed to do it right. I would like to express my view though. So what’s a guy to do?

Friday Foster #1, Dell Publishing, October 1972. So I’m pricing up comics for a big con coming up and I unearth this little gem in a long forgotten box. I leafed through it, liked it so much I’ve decided that this week’s Undervalued Spotlight should shine on Friday Foster #1.
Star Wars #7, Marvel Comics, January 1978. There is a heck of a lot of spec on Star Wars comics going on right now. So where to get in on this Star Wars bandwagon? If you had $20k kicking around you could go the 35 cent variant #1 route or maybe a nice high grade Boba Fett #42? It’s hard to play the Star Wars spec game without dishing out some serious coin. Which segues me nicely into this week’s Undervalued Spotlight pick, Star Wars #7.
I was offered a copy of Archie’s Madhouse #22 last week by a very sharp comic head. Of course I did a bit of research on the book because a) he was asking way too much money for it and b) I wanted it. As of this writing we still haven’t made the deal so I’ll keep insisting its way too much money, at least until I can snag it from him at a discount. The more I read up on the book the more I realized Archie’s Madhouse #22 had to be this week’s Undervalued Spotlight.
Fantastic Four #48, Marvel Comics, March 1966 Young Mike Huddleston and I have been exchanging a few fun filled emails lately. We’ve been sending each other mini lists of books we think are overvalued. Mike and I both think this…
Marvel Two in One #30, Marvel Comics, August 1977. Can there be a more maligned title than Marvel Two in One? I mean you know you suck as a collectible title when the most sought after book in your run is an Annual (Two in One Annual #2 of course). Is there any hope for this title?
Eternals #1, Marvel Comics, July 1976. You can blame Mike Huddleston for this one. Mike did a guest Spotlight post last week and picked a great Jack Kirby book in Thor #134. His post got me all Kirby’d up. Yes it is possible to get Kirby’d up, I’m sure it’s happened to you and you didn't even know it.
Captain Fearless Comics #1, Helnit Publishing (Holyoke), August 1941 Happy Canada Day fellow Canadians. Since I blew the wad early and picked Captain Canuck #9 as my Spotlight a mere two weeks ago I thought it would be kind of…
Detective Comics #327, DC Comics, May 1964 With all the changes comic book characters go through these days it’s hard to imagine a time when concepts, costumes and even title logos changed little over decades. This week’s Undervalued Spotlight pick…
