Marvel Comics1979-83

Daredevil was the first super-hero who really captured my imagination. It almost certainly had something to do with the heady mix of ninjas, the seedy underworld of the Kingpin, Bullseye, and of course Elektra, that was served up by Mr Frank Miller at the time that I was avidly reading my first Marvel comics...

This sale is for Frank Miller\'s complete 1st stint on Daredevil, from issue 158-191, which still stands head and shoulders above almost any other comic super-hero run. It\'s just so damn entertaining! And if you haven\'t had the chance to read it yet then you\'re in for a treat.

There\'s no writing inside the comics. There\'s no tape. There are no staple pulls, or detached centrefolds. There are no missing pages. There are no coupons cut out. There are no hidden surprises.

The comics have been stored in bags and boards in a cool, dry room, and have only been removed for the photos below, showing the actual comics the winning buyer will receive. The average grade is a gorgeous Very Fine Minus (7.5), with almost every comic in the collection having high cover gloss, white pages, shiny staples, and sharp corners and edges. All the comics lie flat and have tight bindings.

I\'ve included high res photos of as many of the key issues as I could at the bottom of the listing, and I think they give a very accurate reflection of the condition of the collection. If there\'s a particular issue, or back cover you\'d like a photo of that hasn\'t been included just let me know and I\'ll be happy to forward it to you.

If you scroll down there\'s a complete list of all the individual grades, as well as the Overstreet description of the assigned grades, and a bit about me.

Enjoy!

Overstreet Grade Description

“Very Fine/Near Mint (9.0) – Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery defects are allowed. Almost flat cover with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. A 1/8” bend is allowed if colour is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. No obvious soiling, staining or other discolouration, except for very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. No spine roll or split allowed. Staples may show some discolouration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. No rust migration. In rare cases a comic was not stapled at the bindery and therefore has a missing staple; this is not considered a defect. Any staple can be replaced on book up to Fine, but only vintage staples can be used on books from Very Fine to Near Mint. Mint books must have original staples. Paper is cream to off-white and supple. No hint of acidity in the odour of the newsprint. Centrefold is secure. Very minor interior tears may be present.”

“Very Fine Plus (8.5) – Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book’s appearance by a perceptible amount.”

“Very Fine (8.0) - An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. Sharp, bright and clean with supple pages. A comic book in this grade has the appearance of having been carefully handled.

Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. A 1/4 inch crease is acceptable if colour is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. No obvious soiling, staining or other discolouration, except for minor foxing. Spine is almost flat with no roll. Possible minor colour break allowed. Staples may show some discolouration.

No hint of acidity in the odour of the newsprint. Centrefold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.”

Paper is brown to tan and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. No hint of acidity in the odour of the newsprint. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centrefold may be loose but not detached.”

About UsI\'ve been buying and selling comics for over 30 years.

All of the sales I\'m listing are from my personal collection. They\'re either comics I\'ve upgraded, or doubles, or issues that I purchased as part of a larger lot that I don\'t collect myself. They\'ve all been stored in bags and boards in a cool, dry, smoke-free room away from sunlight.

Every single comic that I\'m listing has been carefully checked and graded by me in the last week or so. To do that I\'ve inspected each and every page, as well as the front and back cover, paying special attention to the staples, checking for cover gloss front and back, holding them up to the light to catch any hard to find creases, bends and other hard-to-spot flaws.

When I assign a grade to a comic, I\'m doing my absolute best to be accurate. I\'ll include the Overstreet description of the assigned grade, so you can be sure of what to expect. I constantly refer to the 3rd edition of the Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide - and if you\'re not familiar with it I highly recommend it. Especially when it comes to older comics it\'s a real eye-opener...
