    Kudzu vines grew in the woods in the back yard .
    My brother was Tarzan ,sister was Jane
    And I was Cheetah the monkey .
    We spent hours climbing and swinging on
    That kudzu vines ...until Tarzan fell and broke his arm .
    It's a wonder we survived childhood .

    You had me at comics, Alex. You really need to check out those Blackhawk books. It's about a pilot of Native American ancestry who leads a squadron in World War II. They actually got some screen time in an episode of the Justice League animated series when the JLA were sent back to WWII to defeat Vandal Savage. Sgt. Rock and Easy Company also appear in that episode. But I'm rambling. That Thor 200 looks pretty good, along with that JLA and the Fantastic Four books. Great video!

    Classics Illustrated prices depend entirely on the printing, some were reprinted as much as 14 times.. and the late printings can be extremely cheap. The Tarzans are more interesting. No #1, but still nice lot.
    On the Amazing Spider-Man #1.. even a loose page from it has value. A Single page from Amazing Fantasy #15 with Spider-Man's first appearance sold for $1300 not long ago

    • @mackymintle7806
      @mackymintle7806 Год назад

      I would add that you’re probably going to be lucky to get. Ore than $2-3 ft pr the classics Illustrated’s.
      Assuming they are all from 1953-1960.
      Some of those titles ate decent, even in their condition.
      Cool 10 & 12 cent covers are harder to find now, so they can be lucky finds!
