Are you interested in the Golden Age of comic books? If so you may want to check out “The Golden Age of Comic Books” website hosted by Bill Jourdain.
The Golden Age ran from the late 1930’s (Action Comics #1 is usually considered the beginning) to the late 1940’s. When the switch out of the Golden Age occurs is a subject of much debate. If you are a fan of the old collectible books take a look at Bill’s site, I think you will enjoy it, I know I do!
We are entering the summer comic book season and I want to start it off with the first of many weekly features highlighting hot comic book sales. Let’s look at some Golden Age comic books that sold on E-bay between May 18th and May 25th.
Action Comics #20, Restored, FN/VF – $1402
Batman #66 CGC 9.0 $1425 (a Joker cover and appearance – movie tie-in?)
Looney Tunes #1, CGC 3.0 $1355 (1st Bugs Bunny in a comic book)
Detective #29 G/VG, Tan Pages – $15,433.89 (pretty amazing for a very worn comic book with tan pages – remember, even books that look like trash can be treasure!)
All-Flash Quarterly #1 CGC 3.0 – $1,025Action #22, CGC 5.0 – $1,525
These are just a few highlighted sales.
On a side note: The latest issue of the newsletter will be released this week. I’ve included a video showing a great new tool that will save you hours of time and effort searching for comic books. I’m calling it the “comic book magnet” because great comics will come to you! Keep an eye out for the issue, and if you haven’t subscribed, click here.
If you are a collector of Gold or Silver Age comic books like myself, you will appreciate this page I stumbled upon.
Take a look at all of these old comic books on the newstand!
