I’ve been noticing an increase in searches for Avengers #4. This is the return of Captain America in the Silver Age. During the early rise of Marvel Comics in the 1960’s, they focused on new characters such as Spider Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.

Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Peter Parker as Spider-Man is the hottest back issue in comics right now.
This past summer I sold my CGC graded 3.0, unrestored copy at the San Diego comic-con for a lot more than I paid for it. I thought the market had begin to slow down for [...]
