It’s still at cover price for now, but we’re watching where this goes.Old Fart Rule: Justice #1 (Marvel, 1986) — a strange, debated entry in Marvel’s New Universe experiment, with Archie Goodwin on the first issue and a premise that didn’t quite match the line’s “world outside your window” pitch.Underrated Books of the Week:Swords of Cerebus #1 (Aardvark-Vanaheim, 1981) — an early experiment in collected editions that helped pave the way for the graphic novel boom.Frankenstein #1 (Marvel, 1973) — a Mike Ploog horror standout, adapted from Mary Shelley, with raw copies still approachable while top-grade slabs can climb into serious money.Plus viewer mail, Show & Tell, and new member shoutouts.Become a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join📬 VIEWER MAILSend questions to:bronzeandmoderngods@gmail.com

Why Is Absolute Batman #20 Selling for More Because It’s Damaged?! Plus X-Force #116’s Wild Reset
This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we’re tracking a strange new collector reality: condition problems are creating “accidental scarcity” in real time.Hot Book of the Week:Absolute Batman #20 is moving for a completely different reason than usual. Widespread printer-related cover damage has made true Near Mint copies of Cover A harder to find, and those clean copies are already selling at a premium on the secondary market.25 Year Rule:X-Force #116 — the Milligan/Allred reset that effectively launches the X-Statix era and marks a major moment in Marvel’s move away from the Comics Code. We also get into why the run’s “mutants as celebrity content” concept feels even more relevant now, and the later Princess Diana controversy that Marvel ultimately abandoned.Underrated Books of the Week:Nowhere Men #1 (Image, 2012) — “science is the new rock ’n’ roll,” a stylish, experimental book with a legendary reputation.Weird War Tales #1 (DC, 1971) — a war-horror genre-bender with an iconic Joe Kubert cover and a market spread that’s entirely about grade.Plus: Show & Tell, new member shoutouts, and viewer mail.Become a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join📬 VIEWER MAILSend questions to:bronzeandmoderngods@gmail.com

This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we’ve got a mix of modern market movement, deep collector history, and two underrated books that deserve a second look.Hot Book of the Week: We’re talking about a true Golden Age grail that’s seeing a major surge in activity after big adaptation news hit, including a recent high-grade sale that shows just how serious the top end of this market can get.25 Year Rule: Green Arrow #1 (2001) — the start of “Quiver,” and one of the most memorable early-2000s moments where a celebrity filmmaker writing a mainstream DC title felt like a big pop-culture event. We break down why it mattered, how it went to four printings, and what the market looks like now.Underrated Books of the Week:A modern Image superhero team book that reads like a prestige TV pitch and is cheap enough to grab right now.An overlooked DC giant with a Neal Adams cover that’s tougher than it looks in higher grade.Plus: Viewer mail, Show & Tell, and the usual collector talk along the way.#comicbooks #bronzeagecomics #archiecomics #planetary #marvelcomics #comiccollecting #comicspeculation #bronzeandmoderngodsBecome a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join📬 VIEWER MAILSend questions to:bronzeandmoderngods@gmail.com

The Issue That Broke Daredevil in 1986 (Born Again Begins) + Marvel’s Most Unhinged Magazine
This week, we’re hitting two very different corners of comics history that both left a permanent mark.Old Fart Rule: Daredevil #227 (1986) — the opening chapter of Born Again. We break down why this issue is one of the most influential “broken hero” stories ever published, how it elevated Kingpin into a next-level threat, and what the current market looks like for raw copies and high-grade slabs.Underrated Book of the Week: CRAZY Magazine #1 (1973) — Marvel’s MAD-style satire magazine that served as a surprisingly stacked time capsule of creators and the company’s own sense of humor. We also talk about CRAZY’s wildest legacy moments, including the infamous “Kaspar the Dead Baby” strip, plus later staples like Obnoxio the Clown and Chester Weems, the Teen Hulk.Plus the usual Show & Tell and viewer mail.If you’re into comics history, market reality checks, and deep-cut books that don’t get enough love, this episode’s for you.Plus a little Show & Tell and Viewer mail!#comicbooks #bronzeagecomics #archiecomics #planetary #marvelcomics #comiccollecting #comicspeculation #bronzeandmoderngodsBecome a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join📬 VIEWER MAILSend questions to:bronzeandmoderngods@gmail.com
