Thanks for watching! We hope you enjoyed the video! There are definitely some Bronze Age books that have already ascended outside of some collectors' budgets (Hulk 181, Werewolf By Night 32, Amazing Spider-Man 129, etc), but what Bronze Age comic would you give an honorable mention to? My vote: Tomb of Dracula #1!
I collect what I like and occasionally my faves line up with general fandom! I was at my LCS when a guy sold a stack of Bronze age mags, among them was a complete set of RIMA THE JUNGLE GIRL, who once appeared on the Super Friends! I told the store owner I wanted them all! Why? Because I'm a fan of Nestor Redondo's artwork and Joe Kubert's covers!
CoMo, I agree! Btw I have TOD #1 CGC 6.5 signed by Neal Adams!
@@marvelvsdc6611 Very nice! I lucked out on a raw copy I submitted a few years back. It came back a 9.8! I was a little excited about that one!
@@CoMoComicBooks LUCKY!!!👍🏼👊🏼
@@marvelvsdc6611 I’ve been doing this for a while and I never submit anything expecting a 9.8, so each one I get is a surprise!
Another great video. Thanks.
Love you information and your dialogue thank you
Thanks for the kind words Richie. I’m glad the videos are providing value for you!
Great video as always. I've been watching for a bit and like your content. I would also like to see content about organizing a collection. Thanks!
Hey Jam Sessions! That’s a great topic! Probably one I could use some help in myself! I’ll put it in the list for sure! Thanks for watching and I’m glad you’re getting value out of the content!
Enjoyed this video. Glad I found your channel!
Thanks for watching Longbox! I’m glad you enjoyed our content!
Awesome. Glad I found this channel
Thanks Rob! I hope you enjoy our content!
Hi Drew, I just came across your channel and became a subscriber. I enjoy the content - great work!
Thank you for the sub LlamaJon! I appreciate the kind words and hope you continue to find value in our content!
I enjoy watching your videos. Subscribed! 👍
Thanks Boom! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and am grateful for the sub! We’ve got more content coming down the pipe that I hope you’ll enjoy as well!
I've got most of these. A great list for sure! Love the Bronze Age of Comics!!!
Thanks Rob! Glad your collection is filling out! The 70s were a great time for comics, movies and pop culture!
Great picks!
Thanks Jerno! The Bronze Age is a treasure trove right now! So many great books finally getting some time in the spotlight after years of being overshadowed by Silver and Gold Age books!
That’s a great list of Bronze Age Comics! While you’re educating folks, it would be a good time to define the terms, ie: Bronze Age, Silver Age, Modern, when it comes to comics. But a great list and I really like that you give the comic’s writers/authors and publication dates, and give them the credit they deserve. It’s good content and many like myself love the information. I think you’ve a great chance of turning some folks on to comics that may have missed the train growing up, or don’t know anything outside of whichever Marvel Blockbuster or DC Disappointment is hitting the movie theaters this year. But again, you’re doing great, and I really like the content you put out!
I’m working on something that will help out with newcomers who may have some information gaps. Don’t get ahead of me!
That was good, thanks. The prices are really high already. Can you do one on Modern Age comics top ten?
Thanks for watching Arun! Bronze has really taken off in the last couple of years. If you haven’t seen them already, I would point you toward our Top 10 for $20, $50 and $100 budget videos. They’re due for an update, but have some good options, even if some of the prices have I creased since the videos’ initial release.
Great video......I guess now is the time to hit The Copper 😁
You’ve got it Brad! If it’s 80s/90s and you want it, but don’t have it: start chasing it now. If you’re looking for investment books be sure to go all out with CGC/CBCS 9.8s! That is where your best growth will be realized.
Awesome list and honored to own them all in my PC. This era was always on my list when I started collecting. So went hard and fast for these a few years back. Was even lucky enough to get multiple copies of alot of those books. And I'd also recommend any of those books. Great job as always. :)
Thank you Jesse! Congrats on going 10 for 10! Bronze Age was a lot easier get 5+ years ago. I remember my first Werewolf By Night 32! Bought it for for about $15 in 2012. Same copy would be $600-700 today. 😭
@@CoMoComicBooks that's so true bud. I bought my 1st copy about 6 years ago for $45 and my next copy about 3 years ago in better shape for $200. And I love them both. :) after my wish lists filled out. I just went back around and started getting multiple copies of what I could.
Great list. If only have 4 right now. The others are out of my reach for the near future. Maybe someday....
Hey Felix! Thanks for watching! Four is a great start! I wish you luck on tracking down the rest!
Great list, im really wanting to jump in on a ghost rider hopefully one of thses days. I would also like to snag up an giant xmen 1 even in low grade just to have it and maybe trade to to better grade eventually. Thanks for the list.
You’re very welcome! Marvel Spotlight is another tough one. They don’t pop up all that often and they sell extremely fast when I get them. Tough in high grade with that black picture frame cover. Trading up is a great way to build or improve your collection! You can do it!
The music is bloodsportesk. Love it. I can groove to it while i watch. I am in Louisiana and 1 day i will take a road trip to ur shop and drop some cash
We are a traveling setup, but we would love to see you at a convention of show some day! Once those kinds of things are allowable again.
Great list and blessed to have these all in PC. And would agree they are books worth getting in any grade. :)
Thanks for watching Jesse and nicely done! What books are on your short list 2020?
@@CoMoComicBooks FF #4, Tim holt #11, marvel super special #1 kiss blood issue, Malibu sun #8, xmen #6, batman #121. Really hope to get a few of these. By the end of the year. working on a FF #4 now. :)
Good luck with your list! FF is super hot right now. I hope you find a good deal on a FF4!
@@CoMoComicBooks thanks bud, that's the only way I buy..if the deal is good. :) keep up the good comic content.
great list you should do a video of key books under 50 bucks and modern books to grab while they are still
cheap
Hey Kris! I can say for sure that a $50 list is on our list. I like your suggestion about a modern video though! I’m more of an older back issue guy, so I’m going to have to do some studying!
thanks for all the info. aside from the Oneil/Adams combo for the Batman and the Joker cover...what's making this book popular? all those things I just mentioned?
The story begins to shift the Joker character away from the goofy Cesar Romero Joker that was prominent in the mid-late 60s over to the firmly psychotic madman we all know and love. But, it’s mostly just a great cover.
Nice list. Btw I think TOD has art by Gene Colan.
Thanks for watching Brian. I appreciate the correction.
@@CoMoComicBooks No problem. Keep up the great content.
Great list! Giant Sized Xmen may have already gotten too high. What do you think of Xmen 94?
Hey Brooks! You can definitely still get a very collectible copy of GS1 for under $1k, but you’re right in that IF it hasn’t already gotten too high, it’s not far from pricing itself out of many collectors’ budgets. 94 is also a good investment and a very desirable issue, but will never burn as bright as GS1. It may just be my area, but I can find 3-4 X94s for every GS1 I come across in the wild. And let’s not leave out 101! Major first appearance. Gorgeous cover. That book is a winner!
Just found your channel and I liked, subbed, and rang the bell. I've never bought a comic before or at least for a few decades. I've been watching some reveals fir the last few weeks and have been thinking about buying a few key or mega-key books to diversify some investments. Since I could not grade a book myself I will probably be buying graded books instead of raw. Have been thinking 9.8's of things like Amazing Spiderman #252, Spawn #1 News stand (I know that's wrong but I forget...lol), etc.. Also been thinking about keys from lines like Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, etc. in addition to the more standard superheroes. Been researching for a few weeks, and not sure of the direction I want to go in. You put Giant Size X-Men as a must buy. What would be your #2 must buy book? It could be from any category. What I am trying to figure out is if I want to semi-speculate with a bunch of more modern CGC 9.8's of $100-$300 keys. Maybe go with a few less books but buy more around the $500 range. Probably willing to go up to $1000, but more comfortable with lower unless it was something like Batman - Superman type franchise that will be around forever. Doing my homework 1st, but a little direction is always helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing you future videos. Stay safe and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! If you’re purely looking to invest my best advice would be to buy the nicest copy of a Silver Age or Bronze Age key that you can. Your risk is lower with the older, more established books. Fantastic Four is hot right now. FF48 is on fire. FF52 is going to continue to climb, especially with another movie on the horizon. X-Men keys are also worth looking into. X-Men 12, X-Men 14, Giant Size 1. Spending $1k on the nicest GS1 you can find is a great long term hold. That said, if you do wind up investing 80s, 90s or newer books, you absolutely have to go with 9.8s if investment is your primary focus.
Mostly for investment, but you still need to like what your buying. I'm more into vintage personality.and will look into those books. There's just so much cool stuff out there I keep getting pulled in different directions. Thanks for the quick reply. CU at the next video
It’s a wide and deep rabbit hole, but it’s a lot of fun! Good luck!
Great voice!
Thanks Luis! It’s all the microphone!
I'm new to collecting. Any advise on the lowest grade I should consider for these books, in general?
Welcome to the hobby Eric and thanks for watching! I would recommend watching our Collector or Investor video first thing! Determine if you’re here for your enjoyment of the hobby as a collector or if you are primarily interested in comics as and investment. I’m going to give you the worst best advice I can, because it is different for everyone and for every book, but applies to every situation: Buy the nicest or highest grade copy you can afford. I am not a collector that is hung up on extremely high condition, I would much rather have one of everything, than the best of anything, but I do fully acknowledge that on 1st appearances or other key issues that there is a correlation: the higher the grade/higher the value, the more likely it is to appreciate at a faster pace than lower grade copies.
WOW, Michael Ploog, what a great underappreciated horror artist, what a great wearwolf drawer! Neal Adams my 2nd favorite artist of all time. Had a giant size X men #1 signed by Cockrum, my brother sold it under my nose for a lousy 100$ 30 years ago, still hurts lol
Ugh! A Cockrum signed GS1!!!! 😭😭😭
Already going to get GSX #1 well within the end of the year.
That’s great Torri! I’m still looking for the right Werewolf By Night 32. I’ve had a couple of lower grade ones, but I’m hoping to wind up with an 8.5 or better, so it’s going to hurt! Good luck with landing GSX1!
Loved seeing scooby on this list. Have been looking for that forever. My favorite comic i own is 1964 Johnny Quest #1. Framed above my bed.
I was SUPER pumped to pick up a copy last summer. I was so excited when I saw it in the pictures the seller sent to me. I was equally crushed when I realized it was missing it’s centerfold. Still glad to have one though. It’s such a tough book.
I got the Marvel Premier/Iron Fist 1st, Both Neal Adams, The Blade, and the Luke Cage and should have the rest except for the Scooby Doo by the end of July any suggestions where to find that one?
Hey Chaka! Thanks for watching! And congrats on adding all of those great books to your collection! Scooby Doo can be tough! They pop up on eBay fairly regular, but they’re typically priced rather strong. Beyond that, it’s a unicorn. I’ve never seen one at a show. I’ve never seen one at a LCS. A target of opportunity to be prepared for when the time comes!
I feel woefully behind, only own 1/10, you suggested but at least it's the big one!
It’s all good man! Like I say in the video, if you can only do one book on the list, that’s the one to go for!
Great list. I have most of the comics on it. Just need the Batman ones. I picked up most of the others because they were comics I always wanted since I was a kid and now can finally afford to buy them.
That’s about the only good part of growing up, right? Being able to afford all of the goodies you’ve always wanted!
@@CoMoComicBooks Yeah, finally have no mortgage and can buy a few nice things. Just picking up All Star Comics 8 (low grade but complete).
That’s awesome! Congrats on landing a mega-key!
I picked up one of my holy grails... 8.5 giant size X-men 1. Look to later this year to get hulk 181 in 9.0 or at least close to that 😅. Any advice ?
Congrats on the GS1! My only advice would be to buy the nicest copy of Hulk181 that your budget will allow. You’ll be glad you did later.
I like that you’re giving credits for the books, but there are some mistakes I’d like to correct. Luke Cage has Romita for a cover artist and probable costume design, but the interiors were done by George Tuska. House of Secrets was an anthology book and contained multiple stories. While Gerry Conway wrote one of the stories in 92, the story of note (Swamp Thing) was written by Len Wein. Tomb of Dracula had a cover by Gil Kane but the interiors were by Gentleman Gene Colan.
Thanks for watching P Boz! You’re right, I’m definitely just hitting some of the high points I appreciate your notes and the attention to detail!
I was wondering if you had a $1,000 to put into one book what you recommend getting???
First book off the top of my head is Tales of Suspense 50, followed closely by Avengers 8. Both villains are confirmed for upcoming MCU projects, but have not been revealed, which means there is room to grow.
3 out of the 10 I have. Sold my cgc 5.5 GSX-men 1 for a 40% profit. Maybe too early but needed to pay some bills.
@Cooper Hoover at least you were able to make some profit and use it for what matters! 👍🏼 Btw I have 2 of the 10 he showed...MSL 5 and TOD 10 at above mid grade...hopefully I won’t have to part with them anytime soon.
Sometimes we have to let go of things before we’re ready, but real life has to come first. Thanks for watching!
I still love Luke cage and iron fist spec right now. I think it’s one of the more undervalued marvel super hero firsts
After the Netflix show tanked, Iron Fist books were SO cheap. I might have a few tucked away.

TOMB OF DRACULA #10 was drawn by GENE COLAN
Thanks for watching Pulsar!
I would put Conan #1 or ASM #129 ahead of All-Star Western #10.
ASM129 has already already advanced beyond the budget of most collectors. I put it in the same grouping as Hulk 181, Werewolf by Night 32, etc. Conan is a good suggestion, but as it currently has a higher value and is arguably more in the spotlight than All-Star Western, I give the edge to All-Star. Particularly from the perspective of largest potential for growth. No doubt that it is certainly a book that would have been included in the conversation given a larger list.
I wouldn't be surprised if Iron fist showed up in Shang Chi 😁
From what I’ve been hearing, I’m all but counting on it!!! 😁
get to it already
Thanks for watching Steven. I appreciate your patience as I worked my way into the content.
Still on the hunt for the scooby doo!!!
Dude. I FINALLY picked up my first copy of it! Seller called me 2 seconds after my feet hit the floor on a Saturday a few weeks back. I jetted over to check it out and was heartbroken to discover the centerfold was missing. I still had to pick it up though. They’re too hard to come by to leave behind.
CoMo Comic Books yeah I had a full deal when I went to get the book and pay the guy he was rushing me and trying to get me not to look at the book I’m like im not gonna leave you $300 and not check the book he’s like it’s a 7.0 look at the cover. I’m like that’s fine but I want to see the rest. Back cover was missing half the cover... I’m like dude why are you trying to scam me I throw his book on his lawn and walked away.
100% always have to check those page counts and for missing coupons/marvel value stamps. When the seller of a key book is in more of a hurry than the buyer, have your guard up!
Its the name that strikes fear into all that hear it, Metaphorical! Sweet video, huge comic fan! I look forward to seeing more, got a new subscriber and friend! I am also building a buyer/seller community if you buy/sell/trade comics. Check it out if you haven't already!

Remember blade save marvel from bankruptcy in the 90s blade is first.
That was a fun movie. Definitely helped pave the way for Marvel movies!
Lin wein 😂
Marvel Spotlight 5 is already too late. Right now it is at the hype-level that House of Secrets 92 was in 2018. Way overpriced.
Its value is definitely up, but it’s a tough book in high grade. I included it, because at the time of recording the video it was at the tipping point where it was about to price itself out of the budgets of most collectors. It was a “last call” inclusion.
