Luke Cage, Hero For Hire #1

0

So should I buy the Masterworks collection, put on some Curtis Mayfield and be prepared for a major nostalgia rush, or will I be disappointed in how dopey the stories seem 40 years later?

Your opinion is wrong.

Pffft. The best bronze age #1 was Swamp Thing.

 

Everything else pales.

..... actually, for full effect one would require the theme song for "Shaft"..... or possibly "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" GOD BLESS...

By all means, yes Brother! Let's Free Bobby while we're at it!

I dunno, Mayfield's "Superfly" soundtrack holds up as a soul masterpiece 40 years later, whereas Isaac Haye's "Shaft" has a kitsch quality to it now.

....Nothing wrong with Superfly........ I had the 45 with "Freddie's Dead" and wore that thing out...... GOD BLESS...

"Papa was a rolling stone." Great song.

9.6 with a pending sale of 10k on ComicLink

9.6 with a pending sale of 10k on ComicLink

Good for the consigner. Looks like these sales will raise prices on any copies 9.0 and up. Never thought this book would ever achieve 1/10th of these prices.

I never did acquire a 9.6, but I've still got this copy. It's astonishing to see what this book is going for nowadays:

This one is going for a bargain compared to the 10k sale

I'd be all over it if I were into BA.

Do you guys think this is a real sale?

Confirmed sale. Luke cage is on fire ! I regret having sold my 9.6 copy many moons ago.

Got lucky. I bought a cgc 9.6 for $2000 on eBay early this year from a seller with no

Feedback.

That said, the copy in the November CLink auction just went for $3,800.

Eh, it may say 9.6 on the label, but it's not any better looking (and might be even less nice) than the 9.4 copy I posted above.

Agreed. The 10K 9.6 sale is still perplexing. Perhaps the buyer thinks it is improvable to a 9.8. Even so, nothing on GPA to support a 9.8 @ 10K, much less a 9.6. Perhaps some dealers that don't report sales to GPA can weigh in. Paging Mr. Storms.......

If ComicLink would only report to GPA. Not only would you find this 9.6 sale but you'd also find a 9.8@15k a few years back. BIN was hit less than an hour after it was listed if I recall.

That 15K sale was in 2009 or 2010? Probably the first or second graded 9.8. Label chasing hysteria.

There have been several sales since, well below that lofty price. Heck the Suscha News copy sold in 2014 for half that price.

The 10K 9.6 sale is just whacky.

Yes, the 9.8 sale was the first 9.8 to show up. Just wanted to point out that GPA doesn't have all the data, as we all know.
