Also not sure when you are ending the Silver Age. I use the launch of Iron Man & Submariner #1s as the start of the Bronze age in my head.
Shame on you Met. Don't let the Elvis Fan in Portugal see this post.
Nick Fury 1, Subby 1, Iron Man 1, and IMSM 1 are all silver age books as they all came out in 1968. It is widely accepted by most sources (Overstreet, Heritage, and many comic shops, dealers, and collectors I have had the pleasure of speaking to or doing business with) that the Bronze age started in 1970 (some say with GL 76, but that is still open to debate IMHO).

With 7.5’s bringing in $10K and 8.0’s at $17K, this book should be in the teens. Nonetheless, happy to see it amongst the greater silver age superhero books!
Since this post seemed to get glossed over I thought I'd quote it for posterity. OAAW 83 should really be a top 20 book. An 8.0 for $17K. A single 9.0 with rejected offers over $30K. Who knows what a 9.4 or 9.6 might bring.

If you guys were willing to spend the time, why don't you post your perception of the top 100? if we get 25 lists, let's say, I can throw in a spreadsheet and report stats, we can then finalist the books and worry about prioritizing?
C'mon, who's game?

?? Action Comics (1938 DC) #254> First App of Bizarro Superman
Wouldn't Suberboy 68 (first Bizarro) be more deserving?
I haven't kept up on whether he's been around the last few years, but he'll always be iconic to my generation because he was featured in the cartoon Superfriends.

Im gonna ask this with some trepidation...
but whats so key about Iron Man and Submariner #1? (the one shot). I'll conceed that I cut the Silver age short, but how is this one shot key? No first appearances, each title character had 50+ appearances elsewhere by that point, and Subby has a whole GA history too... and a month later they each had their own #1 (the real key).
anything about this book historically make it important?

consider me schooled, I didnt know his first app was in Superboy 68 (of course I just hadnt looked it up yet...)
Bizzaro & Brainiac seem to be the top "villians" making their first appearances in the SA in terms of Superman's world. Any Im missing?

It's top 20 on the list I submitted. I showed some love for GI Combat 87, too. I should have placed Sgt. Fury #1 higher, in hindsight.
