I started buying comics in 64 and started to avidly collect in 66...

I had a whole shit load of early comic books from the silver age including Superman 42, Spiderman number 1, Avengers number 3-66, Silver Surfer number 1. But my favorite was the Neil Adams Green Lantern/Green Arrow series.

The spidey number 1 wasn't in great condition. Talking to a dealer a few months ago and he said a so so copy of spiderman number 1 would be worth a couple hundred at best. It was tatered when I bought it from a kid when spiderman was on I think issue 28 or 29. I paid 35 cents for it.

Anyway, when I started smoking pot I sold my collection to buy drugs. I think I got about $300 for the whole thing, about 350 comics.

I started buying comics again and now have a decent if not spectacular collection that is worth a couple hundred dollars at best.

i like the new DC 52. It's great artwork.
