    Vampire Storm Is Back! Uncanny X-Men #159 Jumps + Cheap Cloak & Dagger Key

    Mylites 2 - https://amzn.to/4zrrR04 Half-Backs - https://amzn.to/4yjH4PU UNCANNY X-MEN #159 jumped 750% in copies sold this week after the release of Midnight X-Men, which revisits Storm’s vampiric side. The original 1982 issue features Storm being bitten by Dracula, and raw copies are still selling for as little as around $10. Also this week on Bronze and Modern Gods: HOT BOOK OF THE WEEK Uncanny X-Men #159 – Storm becomes a vampire, Dracula enters the X-Men world, and a once-cheap Bronze Age issue is suddenly seeing a major sales spike. 25 YEAR RULE Sojourn #1 – We go back to 2001 and one of CrossGen’s biggest titles. Ron Marz and Greg Land launched a fantasy series at a publisher that was trying something genuinely different: salaried writers and artists working together in the same Florida office, almost like a modern comic-book bullpen. UNDERRATED BOOKS OF THE WEEK Starman #0 – James Robinson and Tony Harris introduce Jack Knight, one of DC’s most distinctive legacy heroes, in a series that became one of the most acclaimed superhero runs of the 1990s. Spectacular Spider-Man #64 – The first appearance and origin of Cloak and Dagger, created by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan. Raw copies can still be found in roughly the $30–$50 range, which feels remarkably cheap for the debut of two Marvel characters who went on to headline their own comics and make the jump to live action.

    The Clone Saga returns...who asked for this?! Plus, Classic Punisher and X-Men covers

    This week on Bronze and Modern Gods: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #149 – Ben Reilly’s first appearance has suddenly become a major target again as collectors react to the Clone Saga TV reports. MARVEL TEAM-UP #95 – Bobbi Morse becomes Mockingbird for the first time, with Spider-Man on the cover drawn by Frank Miller and Bob McLeod. Despite Mockingbird’s long history with Hawkeye, the West Coast Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., this Bronze Age key remains surprisingly affordable. PUNISHER #1 – Frank Castle finally gets his own comic in the classic 1986 Circle of Blood limited series. Steven Grant, Mike Zeck and Mike Vosburg helped establish the version of Punisher that would dominate Marvel through the late ’80s and ’90s, and that Zeck cover remains one of his most recognizable. CLASSIC X-MEN #1 – This 1986 book looks like a reprint of Giant-Size X-Men #1, but there’s much more going on inside. Chris Claremont added substantial new story material with John Bolton artwork, all wrapped in a fantastic Arthur Adams cover. And raw copies can still turn up remarkably cheap.
