My comic news widget down at the bottom of the page features a news clip of Obama Mania sweeping to comics and making creators think of coming out with maybe some new Black Super-Heroes.
While I will agree with that theory whole-heartedly, I also wonder if black heroes from the past may be getting ready for a potential price upswing?
Black Panther may be the most successful Black Super Hero and his 1st appearance in Fantastic Four #52 is not exactly cheap. I remember seeing that comic have a big meteoric rise back in the late 80s and early 90s. I would be hard pressed to see that comic gain a whole lot. But I wouldnt be surprised if it got a lit bump in action either.
I think the real steals may be the Black flop comics of the 70s such as Black Goliath and Black Lightening. Im sure nice copies of these can be found probably between $5 - $15. Are these worth swamping up now?
Is Luke Cage going to get another bump in price?
Are there others Im overlooking here?
I fully understand that this might not pan out, but is it too far fetched that there could be a little more interests in the Black characters that paved the way for what is happening now that Obama is president and creators are thinking of releasing more black heroes?
Although Im not going to wager any money on it, Ive seen less spark comics and wouldnt be surprised if some of these titles took a little sleeper jump on us either.
Let me be the 1st to put out a "Maybe" thread in the Could or Should be Hot Thread Area. You guys that come to my site have a lot of years in comics and tons of knowledge. I'd really love to hear your ideas and see this area grow!
