1st app of Luke Cage, first black superhero to headline a mainstream comic; 1st app of Diamondback, Comanche, Shades; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)
Thanks to a hit series on Netflix, Luke Cage has become a hot commodity in the comic book world, and when a superhero hits the big time, his or her origin story can exponentially shoot up in value. Originally enjoying cult success in the 1970s, Cage would go on to join The Defenders and team up with fellow hero Iron Fist becoming a fan favorite throughout the decades. The character has enjoyed a resurgence in the modern day, while evolving into an icon of Marvel’s hero stable, making his first appearance a sought-after investment issue. This classic cover by John Romita hints at the tales of gritty action within the pages, and the interior art by George Tuska and Billy Graham is equally impressive; this is a true classic of the Bronze Age.
