Thread: Rare comics anyone ?

Any of you guys kept childhood comics ?
Some are worth a small fortune.

Artist Andrew Vickers made a life size figure from chicken wire and covered it with a pile of old comics he found in a skip.
He has just learnt from comic dealer Steve Eyre the comics were probably worth around £20,000.00 ! One comic used would alone be worth £10,000.00
It was a first edition 1963 The Avengers comic.

Checking out the attic later.

I have a few of those war story ones. Battle and commando. Must be oldish, as the price is in predecimal money. Would be nice if they were worth summat . I'll check that out.

My dads got a bunch of old Viz comics

I've got a load of very early easyrider magazines in consecutive numbers and mint condition going back to about 1975. Might be worth something one day ?

Can't beat a bit of Viz. How far do they go back, Pat?

I must admit I did have a few stashed away but the wife insisted I burnt them on our first move here,along with some very early holiday photos.

Fussy C--t!

Mensworld is a fucking good comic,not sure what value they hold though

I used to have nearly the whole set from 1 - 100+ and only lacked I think #9 and #11.
Wouldn't have been worth anything much as I took out the Dave Mann centrefolds and stuck them on the walls of my bedroom and work shed.

1985-86 I think.

In most cases they're worth bugger all.

I had loads of those. It's where I learned to speak fluent German; "Achtung! Schpitfire!" "Gott in Himmel", "Schweinhunder Englunder" etc.

Think me Mam threw them out about the time I discovered pornography.

David Gonzalez a builder and decorator in Hoffman, Minnesota bought a house for $10,100 to fix it up for resale. Behind the walls he found a stash of comics used for insulation. Among them a copy of 'Action Comics No1' which in 1938 introduced to the world Superman.
He managed to tear the back page in a dispute with a relative but the comic still scored a 1.5 (out of 10) in the standard CGC grading system.
It sold for $175,000.00 on June 11th 2013

In November 2011 a near perfect copy sold for $2.16m. That was a copy that in 2000 had been in the collection of the actor Nicolas Cage but was recovered from a storage unit in California.

I have an old collection [kept with one of my daughters] of Zap and Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers underground comics. I believe there is quiet a value put on the original editions.

I had number 1 and 2 Kerrang mag dunno if they are still in the loft also some early viz comics.
