I just purchased a few rare pow spiderman comics (2, 4, 9, 39, 43). Love the cover art. I couldnt find any other for sale. How rare are these comics ? I m not sure since it was produced in UK. Thank you and love the videos !!🎉
I don't think they are super rare in the UK but UK comics are always, I think, trickier to find than US comics. At comic marts, I often see a Pow or Wham or Terrific or tons of other UK comics but they are at least 100 times less than the US ones. Thirtieth century comics is always a good place to check out old UK comics such as the POW early issues. 30thcenturycomics.co.uk/catalogue-index/power-comics/ has a number of early issues listed
Makes no sense to me. I guess they were the essential ones but why leave out Green Lantern then ? I would have added in the first three at least as they are rarely (if ever) reprinted.
Yes, Marvel Premiere ... forgotten that but it did feature a lot of first appearances such as 3D Man, Woodgod, Liberty Legion, Torpedo, Scott Lang, Seeker 3000, Alice Cooper, Caleb Hammer etc I agree, never really matched the Showcase comic though. I did buy quite a few of the very early issues though
As someone that doesn’t follow comics as closely as others, did they just drop a lot of these characters that aren’t widely known? Or did they continue quietly?
Honestly I have no idea about some of those characters. They just get their one shot sometime and then sometimes they do occasionally pop up as a character in another comic. Thinking of characters such as Nurse Linda Carter who had a short run and then turned up in many TV series a lot later as well as appearances in Daredevil etc
Fantastic video. I love seeing all the Carmine Infantino artwork in the book. Thank you for sharing your excellent insight.⭐️
Love Carmine Infantino's work !
Either make a volume 2 or make it an omnibus!
So many other characters should have been added!
I would love to see an omnibus of the Showcase books, or a series of the upcoming DC Finest books

I agree with you. Why leave one character out and repeat another?

Marvel had Marvel Premiere in the 70s. Warlock, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, etc. Not as epic as those DC Showcases from the Silver Age though.
