Last High Grade Slab video of 2022 (15 of my best slabs+ A rare high grade DC Treasury Edition). This was done on one of the coldest days in Chicagoland at -7 degrees in a storage unit that had a temperature of 45 degrees! Sorry for the jumpy video shots but i was really cold and could not stand still as i tried to stay warm. Lugging these slabs home in the slippery ice was not an option and my wife wants to keep the comics out of our home.
Here are the comics:
Iron man 53 - 1st black lama- Gil Kane Art
Iron man 38 "When Calls Jonah!" Story by Gerry Conway. Cover by Sal Buscema
Iron Man 89 Blood Bros - part 2 with Daredevil art by George Tuska and Vince Collett. Tuska has done some fantastic Iron Man covers in past.
Machine Man #1 - Jack Kirby - 'Nuff said!
Space Odyssey 8 - Jack Kirby- 1st appearance of Machine Man-another sleeper of a spec comic.
Black Lightning #1 Ex-Olympic athlete Jefferson Pierce takes a job as a school teacher at an inner city school in Metropolis, commissions a costume from tailor Peter Gambi, takes on the name of Black Lightning, and goes after a group of bad guys called the 100. Cover by Rich Buckler and Springer.
Fear #22 - Vampire must Die - John Romita art
Hulk #174 - Herbe Trimpe Cobalt Man decides to destroy Syndney to show mankind how dangerous Nuclear weapons are. Next to Hulk 151 my most sentimental Hulk book that i remembered as a youngster.

Hulk 105 Marie Severin/Giacoia
Supervilliam team up #1 Cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia
