DC Bronze Age Horror is old news to me. Been picking them up for years on the cheap. As a collector I actually hope they don’t get expensive. Wrightson covers/art will always hold value though.

I have few counterpoints. 1. (a)The main reason we've seen so many of the DC Horror in $1 bins over the years is because most comic shops have historically been Super hero-centric and many were never considered for priced back issue stock by owner/managers that are biased against anything not in their wheelhouse. (b) Most horror fans aren't digging through $1 bins hoping to pull horror comics because 99.999% of the $1 comics are comics they will never be interested in, so they are more like to sit for $1. They want to be pointed to the horror section, they will look through those and not touch anything else in the store. 2. I buy lots of collections and not just comics, Horror collectors are a special breed of collector and the most likely place you will get a horror collection is at an estate sale, Horror fans hold on to their collections all the way to the grave.

As a new collector who is into horror comics, I couldn’t agree more with you Jess. I am buying what strikes me and there are SO MANY cool comics out there. Ive fallen for Charlton personally, they have some really cool artwork, including some by the great Steve Ditko. I’ve not purchased much DC yet, there’s enough Charlton and Gold Key to keep my happily searching for quite some time.

The most valuable Bronze Age DC horror book, by far, is House of Secrets 92. There are only three 9.8s out of 3300+ graded copies. Only 1% of graded copies are 9.6 or better. I don't think we have to worry about a flood of high grade Bronze Age DC horror hitting the matket. The stuff was never that popular. If you can find your favorite books in 9.0 consider yourself lucky.

Great video - enjoyed the content. You could make the same argument for the Warren magazines from the same era: Eerie, Creepy & Vampirella. Many had the fantastic covers by Frank Frazetta & interior art by all the top artists of the time. I think the other part of this argument is that most collectors (such as myself) are from that era, and remember buying these books off the rack. These are still relatively affordable compared to other silver age / bronze age books.

Hmmm. There are several videos discussing DC Bronze Age Horror as the next big thing. Sounds like it already is. And it does make sense, given that so many collectors, influenced by RU-vidrs such as yourself and Automatic and others, can't afford pre-code horror. But in any case, people should buy them because of the cool covers by Neal Adams, Mike Kaluta, Berni Wrightson and others. Comics as an investment? Not a great idea.

Plus pch books have that pch allure to them. These could be great books for flipping when the time hits for sure tho, but def would not be a sector of the market i would fomo into whatsoever.
@popsequentialism7213

Great video and for the most part I agree. The biggest regret I have as a collector was losing a short box of almost every published Wrightson cover. It was stolen at load-out at a Boston convention in the late 80s. And actually losing that box diminished my enthusiasm for collecting comics for many years. But I still have nostalgia for it and I'm not alone. This is significant because the factor that rules value at auction is the necessity for just a few buyers with deep pockets to be interested in the same comic. Several film directors and musicians are massive collectors of both pre-code and Bronze horror which is why they go for mad cash in 9.8 at auction and rarely get sold in that condition. And as far as finding an ungraded 9.8 candidate in the wild, you are really in needle/haystack territory -so when these books appear you need to fight Guillermo del Toro, Kirk Hammett, Mike Flanagan, Greg Nicotero, Joe Dante, and even low-key collectors like Michael Rosenbaum who are likely to outbid you. High-grade War comics are also super tough in high grade but a little easier to score in the wild. There are also fewer really classic covers, but when they go to auction they always sell for multiples of the so-called FMV. Like anything in this hobby, your expertise is your edge. If you know that there are hundreds of Wrightson collectors, go after Kaluta and Jeff Jones covers. In the case of Kaluta, try to find his 90s Vertigo comics in 9.8. It's not easy. Titles like Books of Magic, with gorgeous covers, are scarce as graded 9.8s. So are all the James Jean covers of Fables except for the first issue. As more recent comics released in an era of conservation-minded collectors you really can find 9.8 candidates raw in back-issue bins for cover price. And it's kind of crazy to me that James Jean isn't being collected like Dave Stevens. And aside from Fables, there are only a handful of other covers under his signature, making that subset easy to collect and complete with a super low buy-in.
@brychology

You are absolutely right! Finding 9.6 - 9.8 copies of the early Bronze Age horror is extremely difficult. I have a very nice collection I would be lucky to have even one raw 9.8 candidate. I would be lucky to have a 9.6 or two!

I think you’re way off here. DC Bronze Age horror has had a peak before, 15ish years ago, and then went soft. There are so many sales not in GPA. I personally owned the Oakland HoM 175 which was graded 9.6 and sold for $2,650 back in’07 or so. Sold a Witching Hour #1 for $800 in 9.4 about the same time, and got $1,200 for a Witching Hour #2 9.6 back then as well. You think there are a lot of DC bronze horror unslabbed, maybe, but the prices these were getting back then would have brought out a lot of them and it didn’t. You didn’t even mention king daddy, DC 100 Page Super Spectacular #4 with the best Bernie Wrightson cover of all of his BA horror work. If a 9.4 or 6 ever hits an auction now, watch out! Book is seriously rare in grade. You know up until a couple of years ago you could get Gaines files copies of most EC horror books for a relatively reasonable price, 1-2K for non keys, that was because people had the thought “oh, they aren’t rare”. Look at CSS 22 now, and any EC GFC is going to command multiples of what it did just a few years ago. Why? Because collectors recognize they are some of the best comics ever made. DC horror are the best horror books of the Bronze Age, covers and art. They are legitimately hard to find in grade and I don’t think this time that they will soften like they did back in the late 2000’s. If you like em, better get them now.

Collect what catches your eye just don’t overpay for what you want unless it’s by a couple of bucks to definitely secure what you’re after.

If pre-code horror is popular, but many people can't afford it, isn't it reasonable to expect that the demand will continue to grow for BA horror in tandem with the popularity of pre-code horror? By the way, I don't own any and so I'm not a seller.

I have almost all the marvel silver and bronze horror books and to be Frank, have neglected the DCs but must admit, some of the covers are enticing me! One area you overlooked is marvel magazines that were published in the 70s whose sole purpose was to get around the comic code. I purchased and read them as a kid and was enthralled with the stories and art. I own I think every horror magazine they published and am proud to have them in my PC.

Pre Code Horror is valuable because those books are old, and the creators were sick in the head, and Seduction of the Innocent made them infamous. Bronze Age Horror books are not even comparable. They aren't "second best" or remotely as violent or comparably infamous to the PCH genre books. That said, Bronze Age Horror are very kitschy, melodramatic ghost stories akin to Scooby Doo Mysteries with some great 70s/80s cover art. They will never have any movie spec mass market appeal, and they were likely mass produced and found in every personal collection and LCS 5 dollar box. There is not a wide market for 9.8 graded Bronze Age Horror books, but the speculators and dealers and market makers will hype this because the Silver Age superhero comics are crashing.
@purecomiccollector
@purecomiccollector 10 месяцев назад
Agree with you more or less. It seems like more older collectors (50 to 60 year olds) have rotated more into the bronze age horror the past few years. The prices on those books have been lower in comparison to the superhero books of the same era. Price is just a reflection of demand, right? I don't see many 20 to 40 year old collectors diving into bronze age horror so this is probably like Western comics were to the older collectors back in the 80s right before they fell off a cliff. Buy what you like is what I always say and forget the trend. If you're speculating then best of luck to you on predicting what the next bronze age horror book will be. Thanks for the video Swagg!

There are a few DC goth romance books that had a horror vibe that have been expensive for years. The had Great art , Decent writing and were more geared towards a female audience, so, they were more story driven than action driven. They are hard to find and even harder to find in high grade. I don't know the exact number of these books there are because they kept changing the tile. I guess between 4 to 6. I'd also guess that they had lower print runs and only came out either bimonthly or quarterly , ergo they , honestly, I'd say probably 90-95% of DC bronze age horror books just weren't very good. Yep, they had beautiful covers but they suffered from poor writing and often , not great art. The anthology style just didn't seem to serve them well as opposed to Marvel's mostly on going character title horror books . Anyway, all that to say, I absolutely agree with you Swag!

For years I searched for HoM and HoS in high grade, amassing nice runs in high grade raw. These books are very hard to find in the wild. No one cared. The books have great covers and super fun stories. Most of them are not and never will be keys. Very few DCU characters can be found in these anthologies, other than the firsts of Cain and Abel and of course HoS 92 with ol’ Swampy Guy. This stuff is for niche collectors for sure such as your post-chad collector you outlined on your white board. I am very skeptical that there are boxes and boxes of this stuff sitting around in high grade raw. Supply will always be limited. But will there be a larger collector base other than weirdos like me who actually live this stuff? Maybe but I don’t think there are too many. The other thing to remember is that these titles ran for a long time and so there are many, many issues with so few keys. Which ones should one pick other than the ones with done history? I think you got it exactly right. I like Kaluta’s covers too, Vince just doesn’t get the love he deserves.

Swag - another great video. Some thoughts - I think it's fair to say that one of the reasons that Bronze Age horror (DC or otherwise) is getting investment traction is that the genre has received increased popularity in recent years and these books are much more obtainable than PCH. You emphasize the risk of prices being impacted by increased supply but this could be said for most any genre - not just DC Bronze Age horror. One relatively notable aspect of collecting these books which you did not mention in your video is how often the best covers are the ones which have no text, captions, or dialog. The image tells the story. I think that is particularly why these books resonate so well with collectors.

First of all, you keep mentioning flipping these books. This genre has nothing to do with flipping. Flippers aren't buying this stuff, the price increases are purely organic to this point. Not every genre of comics has value because of fomo and flippers and mcu and all that crap. Some of it just awesome art and rare in high grade. The genre is now half a century old and chock full of top notch artists including Wrightson, Adams, Kaluta, Cardy, Dominguez, Morrow, Sparling, etc. A broad swath of collectors are discovering how awesome these books are, and with scant supply in high grade there is no reason to think the prices won't continue to rise. I think you don't fully realize how hard these are to find in 9.4 and up. "All of the backstock gets pulled and sent to cgc." This stuff is not even in the same ballpark as Eternals 1, not even the same universe as Marvel superhero bronze. I've been hunting high grades raws of this genre for years and they are all exceptionally hard to find in anything above 9.0. Many of these books have NO 9.8's on the census - that's not because people just kept their worthless dollar bin mint raws in mylar lol - it's because they just aren't out there. All the guys I know who are buying this stuff, including me, are true collectors who only resell our undercopies. Don't hold your breath waiting on a flood of high grades hitting the census anytime soon lol.

Thanks for the comment. I do think these books are tough in high grade - I say as much in the video. As I’m sure you know HOS 92 only has 3 in 9.8 (and that’s a book many people send in). My point in this video is that people need to be careful and educate themselves on the genre. A book like HOS 138 has zero 9.8’s and only 11 on the census…Does that mean it’s rare? Not necessarily, it’s just a book that isn’t that sought after and sent in. I made this video as we are quickly approaching Halloween and seasonality and Fomo play a role in this market. I’ve already seen/heard people just buying up random books on hype. And yes, those people are flipping them. You yourself admit that you sell your under-copies is that not flipping? I know you have a wealth of knowledge in this topic which I respect, but my video is just here to add caution an awareness to it. Are there amazing covers? Yes. Do I myself own some of them? Yes. Would I sell into hype if prices went crazy? Yes. And if things did ever get crazy do I think the entire collecting market would be incentivized to send in more for grading? Yes. All things can be true at once.

@@Swagglehaus ill bet you $20 you cant get a 9.8 of hos 138 in the next 6 months lol. thats plenty of time to scour the comicverse out there for high grade raws, and if you get a 9.8 on one ill come on your show and paypal you $20 during the show and we can shoot the breeze about the genre. ill even bet you cant get a 9.8 on ANY raw bronze dc horror book from 1969-1973 in the next 6 months. people have no idea how tough these books are.

⁠@@dscomics5603ha you might be right but I picked 138 specifically cause it’s 1975 :). Figured that would improve my chances. I agree with your year window being super tough…even super hero stuff has low 9.8 rates in those years. But Do you feel like the later run horror is as hard in 9.8? Even the 1980 stuff?

I bought my DC Bronze Horror decades ago. They are all raw. Some could get highest graded.

Not all comics are meant to be spec'd or invested in. Some comics are meant to be collected and enjoyed. Bronze Age DC horror -- which has some of the finest stories and art -- is meant to be collected and enjoyed. And I will add this: it wasn't long ago that PCH was relatively cheap -- books in the low 100s. I've seen this movie before. Early BA DC horror in high grade (9.0 and higher) is becoming harder and harder to find. And with that, prices start to go up. Eventually these high-grade gems will be highly sought after and prices will be in the 500s to 900s for 9.2s to 9.6s. Remember this.

These books have been sought after , sold for 10x guide in grade, and sent in for grading for 20 years. Your take on the genre shows your lack of understanding. That’s fine, steer more people away please.

It's so cute when you younger guys think you have figured out something that us old timers have sought for years. DC bronze horror have been in demand for decades but you young'uns who only care about first apps never noticed. Any early HOM or HOS in 9.8 is near a grand and no there are not thousands of high grade copies out there. Funny thing is if you don't appreciate comic art for arts sake there is no reason for you to buy DC bronze. So, just tell everyone to move on to the next bigender alien superhero first app and leave the DC horror to those of us who actually buy comics for the art, not the resale value.

Biggest problem is Bronze Age horror is a wet fart compared to golden age. And there is so much more golden age horror that is better. Plus at the end of the day, one would rather $500-1000 on an awesome lower grade pre code than a high grade Bronze Ager. It’s just the fact of the matter

I love how every youtube comic guy thinks the comic code was bullshit...have you seen the covers... have you read the stories lol. How dare parents want childrens books to not be about sadomasochistic sex and violence! Anyone who has moral fortitude is a Karen I guess, society must be moral free for freedom, now wear your mask to the comic show and be a good boy!
