1957 SHOWCASE #6 Challengers of Unknown DC Comic Kirby! - eBay (item 310103154380 end time Nov-28-08 19:24:00 PST)This vintage comic is Showcase #6, First Challengers of the Unknown, published by DC in February 1957. It features Jack Kirby art and is the origin of the first silver age adventure team: pre-Fantastic Four and all the rest.
It's a very nice collectible copy with a few flaws. There's a minor wrinkle across the word "Showcase," and a small piece has been replaced above the letter "O." The spine has been reinforced invisibly inside the staples. The age darkening inside the cover isn't as bad in real life as the photo suggests.
Nice glossy cover and interiors are in excellent condition. This was only read once or twice and kept in a collection all these years by the one and only owner. Look at what they go for in this condition in the Guide!

We're the sole owners of this copy. The scans and photos show the great art and cover gloss of this highly-desirable comic. This comic in near mint lists for around $6,000!
1972 DC Comic SWAMP THING #1 Berni Wrightson Near Mint! - eBay (item 310032134982 end time Mar-21-08 20:24:40 PDT) This Swamp Thing #1 comic was published by DC in Oct-Nov, 1972 and has a page in the back explaining who the artist, writer and editor are for those who didn't know them. Berni Wrightson was just beginning to receive recognition as an artist at that time.
This is an unread copy that's been in our collection since the day it came out. It has great cover gloss, square corners, minor foxing above the "20 cents" on the front cover and on the top right of the back cover. A near mint copy was listed at $180 as of 2004 and is likely more now.
We try to grade fairly and feel this should be graded at near mint. We're listing it at a conservative starting price considering its condition--a really wonderful, crisp copy for your collection.
