Auctions This Week: Wednesday, May 20th

Hello again, everyone,

The sun is shining, the weather is finally warming up, and we have some beautiful graded comics this week. Whether it’s the first appearance of Squirrel Girl (Marvel Super-Heroes v2 #8, in gorgeous condition), the second appearance of Black Adam (and thus his first modern appearance in Shazam #28), or the first Silver Age Flash crossover (Green Lantern #13, in which Flash and Green Lantern share their secret identities to each other), we have something that’s perfect for your collection. Just take a look!

These 10-day auctions run from May 20th to May 30th:

	Marvel Super-Heroes v2 #8 CGC Universal Grade in 9.8 condition with white pages. For your consideration, this is a pristine copy of the 80-page, square-bound 1991 Winter Special. Highlights of this hard-to-find issue include X-Men, Iron Man, and Sub-Mariner stories, five pages of pinups by Jim Starlin, plus the very first appearance of the breakout character, Squirrel Girl!
	Shazam #28 CGC Universal Grade in 9.2 condition with off-white to white pages. From an original owner collection, this is a fantastic issue. E.Nelson Bridwell’s exciting Captain Marvel story reintroduces the “World’s Mightiest Villain”, Black Adam (in his second ever appearance), to the “World’s Mightiest Mortal”, with great Kurt Schaffenberger cover and interior art.
	Green Lantern #13 CGC Universal Grade in 8.5 condition with off-white pages. From an original owner, the John Broome story in this issue is an early DC crossover tale, in which Flash and Green Lantern reveal their secret identities to each other (ala Superman and Batman). Cover art and interior illustrations are by Gil Kane and Joe Giella.

Don’t forget that these auctions are ending Saturday, May 23rd:

Batman #227 CGC Universal Grade in 7.0 condition with off-white pages. For your consideration, this beautiful book boasts a striking Neal Adams Gothic cover that is a homage to the Detective Comics #31 Golden Age classic. This issue has Denny O’Neil and Mike Friedrich stories, including “The Demon of Gothos Mansion” and a Robin backup story, with Irv Novick and Dick Giordano, and Mike Eposito providing the interior artwork.

X-Men #20 CGC Universal Grade in 7.0 condition with cream to off-white pages. This solid copy is from an original owner collection. With a bright red cover by Jack Kirby, Werner Roth, and Dick Ayers, plus interior art by Roth and Ayers, this issue features Lucifer, the Blob, and Unus the Untouchable in a classic Silver Age Roy Thomas tale.

Good luck, all!

Update: New Comics Available on Friday, May 22nd

Hey, everyone,

A quick update — shipping delays beyond our control mean that we will not have our full selection of new releases on Wednesday as originally planned. Curbside pickup will still be available on Wednesday, 11–3pm, for in-stock items, but if you’d like to pick up this week’s new releases, we will have them available on Friday, May 22nd, with curbside pickup 11–3pm.

While we would like our reopening and the comeback of new comics to go smoothly, we have to expect some bumps along the road. We’ll deal with them the best we can, and keep moving forward.

Thanks for understanding!
