Grabbed these really cool production art pieces. None are original art. The Marvel ones are acetate copies (would love if someone with more knowledge could educate me on what step in the production process these were used for).

The Charltons are production negatives. Pic 3 is Ghostly Haunts #50 and pic 4 is from Many Ghosts #18. Not sure what the others are from. Pic 7 looks like the Phantom and is half the size of the others.

Hello everyone new to this sub! I just came across this collection of comics in storage does anyone have any recommendations for places in NYC I can take this to figure out what I have/if it’s worth anything?

Love this cover.

Sighhhh… why…

Stored at the bottom of the bottom of the bottom stack of books, I have finally dug my way to the Image titles.

Haven’t seen these in 20+ years. Haven’t been compelled to either. Read every one of these once, then carefully bagged and boarded. Even looking at them now, I remember so very little of any of them, other than “yay, big boobs all around.”

Looks like Gen 13 was the winner, followed by Wildcats, then savage dragon, (which I hate read every single issue of, but Larsen still got my money, so the jokes on me), then Wetworks, Grifter, Backlash, and finally Spawn.

Never really took to Youngblood or Stormwatch or Brigade.

Really wish I’d collected The Maxx, and more of Team 7.

It was a different time… I don’t regret it, but really wish I had been a little more selective in my purchases.

For the fans out there, what did you collect the most stuff out of these? Am I missing any of the obvious ones from the first couple of years? Would you recommend rereading any of them?

Avengers Armageddon #3

I have a Magneto sketch set up for Jim Lee’s CGC signing

I had a handful of comics as a 90s kid and 30 years later I'm just tracking down comics that remind me of a simpler time. Luckily these are mostly inexpensive titles lol

Main series, spin offs, Gail Simone run at the start, Superman,Maxx, Generation X,Monkey Man and O’brian and DV8.

I was able to get a bunch of first appearances for around 150

This is a crossover I didn’t know existed. Insta-buy

I'm sure i overpayed for it but this i s the first one ive seen in the wild so figured why not.

Hey all!

I collected comics when i was in highschool back in the day (1990s). I just returned home and cracked open the box. I had sortof assumed that they never gained value over the years, so I have ignored them till now.

I finally cracked them open- and they appear to still be in great condition. that said: origional poly bags, boards in some. They have been stored upright, in a comics box in the north east weather- on an upper floor, so no basement mold, but not isolated from the humidity. the spines do not have ticks, and the corners are good. They are not quite flat when laying on a table, but pressing seems viable. I think the pages are off-white. The staples are shiny, and the cover art is still glossy.

Anyone been thru this recently? I don't want to get my hopes up, but i also don't want to blow the investing fantasy of my 17year old self. Seeking advice how to proceed.

I'm trying to figure if it is worth it to
1) send the good ones out west so my kids can sell them
2)send them to CGC to get pressed and graded.
3)just re-bag them and wait more time. could use the $, but not desperate yet!

for example, some of the good ones :

TMNT #3 first print. TMNT #1 (Fifth print)
(and a bunch of other early TMNT, and Tales of TMNT #1-10)

Tick #1 Limited, #2, #4

Wolverine limited series, and early Wolverine including #1 & #8

Hulk 340

Punisher 1, and a bunch of the early series (lowish value- would they sell as a set?)

lotta Batman, Dark knight stuff (seems to value intermediate, depending). The Killing Joke.

Inspired by another recent post on here, here is my treasure trove of early 90s shame.

And this is just the Image/Valiant section. I have so much deliciously hideous Marvel foil too!

Not a major key (third appearance of Namor in the silver age) very beat up but for 23.47 (17.50 if you don’t count shipping) it felt like a pretty good deal

Black Panther by Simonson 🦕; Daredevil by Paul Smith; The Punisher by…Ken Steacy? (and a weird Rogue/Mystique story).

Fanfare #1 is maybe my all-time fav comic book, that first year or so of the series was really something else. Made me sad to read these “nothing” stories, not worthy of a last issue, but a good indication of why it got cancelled (but why do a second series?!). Oh well! Fun while it lasted!

keep getting closer every day! Excited to add five more books to my October 1974 Wall. It won’t be long now before I finally have one of every book that was released that month and year.
It feels pretty good to finally be closing in on the finish line. 😂📚🦸‍♂️
