Is There Value In Obscure Comics?

Comic BooksBy Chris WalkerDecember 29, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome back to Hammer Drops! Each week, we illustrate what we’ve learned in thirty years of selling collectibles using examples from our recent auctions. This week, our attention is drawn to an unexpected result from our December 11 auction session. Imagine you were presented with three comics. Two are among the most iconic Spider-Man issues…

Doc Savage: An Early Superhero

Action FiguresBy Chris WalkerNovember 5, 20212 Comments

Welcome back to My Hero, wherein we here at Back to the Past tell you why the obscure characters from our custom action figure collection are great!

Nighthawk, Marvel’s Dark Knight

Welcome back to My Hero, our weekly dip into the collection of the same name!

Red Raven: A Roy Thomas Favorite

Action Figures, Comic BooksBy Chris WalkerFebruary 13, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome back to our weekly dip into the depths of the My Hero collection, one unidentified madman’s quest to immortalize in plastic the most obscure comic book characters ever created. That built up the collection of hundreds of hand-altered action figures that now reside in the Back to the Past warehouse and that I have…

The Return of the Asthma Monster!

Comic BooksBy Chris WalkerFebruary 2, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome back to Consigned, Cool, & Collected, where we’re breaking from the usual format and hitting you with something akin to one of Greg Turner’s old Retro Reviews or my old 1 out of 5 reviews. We’re looking at Lot #143 from our December 26 auction session, a copy of the Public Service Announcement comic…
