Tales of Suspense

And they only limited them to like eight titles or something.

That's why we have the double features in Tales of Suspense

and the other

books.

Marvel, no, they were subsisting.

They published those titles.

They had the monster magazines, Tales of Suspense, Strange Tales, Journey into Mystery, et cetera.

And they were doing really...

Let me put it this way.

The same comic shop that had this, you know what else they had? Tales of Suspense, issue 39, VG for 150 bucks.

Oh, wow.

And I knew it was a great book to own.

He says, it's amazing what you can do when you swing enough money around.

that's a great show it's on streaming now finally which is great uh so you don't have to watch it richard but uh it's there if you want uh our email at bronze of modern gods at gmail.com one more from ross wilkins who says hi richard and john don't know if you saw this bit of news a new record was set back in july for the most money paid for a single interior page of a comic book $3.8 million was spent for the opening slash page of Iron Man from Tales of Suspense 39 by your favorite NARS, Don Heck.

Does this mean we have to start showing him some respect? Keep up the great work, Ross.

Yes, I do respect Don Heck.

He was a criminal.

Uh, he first appeared in 1966 in Tales of Suspense number 83.

Then he came back like eight years later for, for two issues in Captain America 169, 170, and then he died.

[laughs]

One of the first things I bought when I was getting into Captain America was one of the ...

It was a book that collected all of the Tales of ...

Captain America Tales of Suspense stories, and even a few of, you know, to like issue 102 or something.

And so I read that a bunch since it was before I really was able to start collecting in full force, and so I read that thing, you know, probably dozens of times.
