You made me look it up. It had to have been a Fantastic Four comic in which the Silver Surfer appeared. My time frame was the mid-60s.

Not disputing your dilemma but SS was never 13¢. No comics were.

They were 10¢ from the 1930s through about 1962. Then they went up to 12¢

SS actually launched as 25¢ double sized book for the first 7 issues. It was a “premium” title but that hurt sales. Then went down to standard size for 15¢ which was the avg price by the late 60s.

They pretty much just went up in 5¢ increments through the 70s and most of the 80s. Once it hit 75¢ they started jumping by 25¢ until they hit $2.99 in the 00s.

Current comics average 3.99-6.99.

I think comics were .55 when I started collecting. I hated every price increase with a passion.

Any of you use the MyCollection:comic Scanner App? My brother introduced me to it. Kind of a cool way to capture your comic collection in one place. Grades and pricing are arbitrary, but I think I will like having the ability to quickly sort and scroll through my collection.

This is a Kickstarter from a friend in the online comic community. He is a screen writer working recently on the RL Stine movie, Zombietown. He is a big comics fan and wanted do a series.

I’ve read the first 3 and it’s a lot of fun. It’s in that all-ages horror adventure category. My kids loved it.

It is being carried in comic shops but being from a small publisher it’s hit or miss if a shop carries it.

There are limited sets available for the whole series.



Here is my review of the first issue.

Armored #1 by Michael Schwartz and Ismeal Hernandez

Been a while since anyone posted in here. I really enjoy comics that Jorge Fornes works on. His work in the current issue of Batman - 155 - is really good.
