X-Men # 35 - August 1967

Picked up X-Men #35 last weekend, not a bad copy and probably the best one I can afford for the time being. In near mint condition this books lists for somewhere around $600.00. However the copy I purchased is probably a VG or VG + at best, giving it a value of somewhere in the $100.00 range. That said I'm very happy with it, I've been looking for this book for quite some time. My local comic book store gave me a killer deal on it.

Niagara Comic Con 2014 - Video



Some of the video footage I shot last week at the Niagara Comic Con. This is a really well run event, the organizers did a great job of keeping the lines moving and the venue was ideal relative to the attendance.

Niagara Falls Comic Con 2014

Just spent all day at the Niagara Falls Comic Con this is a very cool convention. Massive lineup when we got there but surprisingly it moved very quickly, only took about 15 minutes to get in. A lot of really great vendors at this show including One Million Comics, Paradise Comics, Comic-Kazi and my personal favorite Big B Comics were I tend to spend a lot of my money.

Captain America # 126

Picked up a pretty decent copy of Captain America #126 today at my local comic book store. It isn't perfect but for eight bucks you wont hear any complaints from me. Especially considering that the cover art was done by Jack Kirby. Not an expensive book by any means, in near mint you shouldn't pay any more that $30 - $40

Flash Gordon #4 - March 1967

Picked this one up today at my local comic store, not bad for $8.00, I believe the Comic Book Realm has it priced at approximately $30.00 in near mint. As you can see this one isn't perfect but it's still a pretty nice copy.  King Comics wasn't around for very long. They published for approximately a year-and-a-half,  from August 1966 to December 1967. Following their demise a few of their titles were picked up by  Gold Key and Charlton Comics.  Flash Gordon under  King Comics  ran for 11 issues (Sept. 1966 - Dec. 1967) then continued by Charlton Comics.
