In this edition of Closet Comic Book Gold we’ll examine a comic I have seen several times at Flea Markets and is a gem waiting for the savvy collector.

Strange Tales 110 really doesn’t look like anything. The cover in no way lets the reader know what importance lurks inside. Add to this the often beat up black cover and you have the makings of a comic that most people would toss aside.

But what a mistake that would be!

Strange Tales 110 introduces Dr. Strange to the world. He has been a supporting character and hasn’t achieved the fame of say, Spider-man, but don’t dismiss this survivor. Add to this the fact that even beat up 4.0 graded copies of this comic book bring well over $250 on a consistent basis and we have a real closet winner.

Take a close look at the cover of this often overlooked comic book and start searching!

Strange Tales 110

Do you have gold in your closet? In this installment of Closet Comic Book Gold we’ll look at a common title that many people may miss.

Action Comics featured Superman for most of the run, and because of this popular character many casual fans picked these comics up off the newsstand. A significant number of these comics aren’t worth very much, but there are a few hidden gems that can bring a pretty penny, even in lower conditions. One issue that jumps out is Action Comics 285. If you look at the picture below it doesn’t look like much, just your typical Superman and Supergirl cover. But there is more than meets the eye!

Action Comics 285 reveals Supergirl’s identity to the world (big deal), but also has a bonus cameo from John F. Kennedy and Jackie. With all the fanfare over the Barack Obama comic books, this is a fun Presidential comic book to own and is very easy to overlook.

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide lists this for $350 in NM- 9.2, but the last copies in 9.2 condition have sold for a minimum of $600!

Keep an eye out for this piece of closet comic book gold!
