As a 40 year serious collector I have acquired a vast inventory of most major Marvel and DC titles, as well as many Independents, Graphic Novels, Trades and hard Cover books. I believe my grading to be conserative and based on one THING, Can the book pull the said grade from Third Party Graders Like CGC, and CBCS. Ive submitted many books for grading and I have also cracked out plenty of CGC and CBCS books for my personal collection over the years. I will securely and promptly ship all orders and will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.  I will continue adding more comics, cards and books to my store here. Thank You for stopping by for a look.

Up for your consideration and viewing pleasure comes this Complete 6-Issue Set of the "1963" from Image Comics back in 1993.The series was a collaboration with the Legendary Team that brought you the Acclaimed Swamp Thing Series. The books are all in great condition with Like New quality and very minimal wear.All exhibit Original cover color. They all feature perfect cover wraps with nice interior page quality. I believe they are all in the 8.5 -9.0 VFN+ Grade range. No: Creases,Writing, Stains, etc..

Many of the early classic Image titles that set the standard for comic books back in the early nineties had high print runs but none the less have become highly sought after due to their history in the evolution of the hobby.  Then there were some obscure titles such as this 1963 Mystery Incorporated that flew under the radar with all the flashy Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee & Rob Liefeld work that was all the rage at the time.  I believe this series with the legendary Alan Moore has been highly over looked by the hobby. If your adding key image books to your collection I would highly recommend grabbing this Complete 6-issue set before the rest of the hobby catches on to them.
