Well, he is the original. I had a friend in the '60s who was a huge Marvel fan, right when they were starting to make their mark. Great stuff, but Steve Ditko's are always put me off. Curt Swan was doing Superman at the time and I always thought his style was more realistic.

That could be an expensive hobby.

It is expensive depending on the issues and quality. But this is something you already know owning 6000 copies of various comic books.

My collection is almost all modern comics, 1985 or newer. I have some silver age comics, no golden age at all and certainly no originals. On average I would guess my collection to be worth less than a dollar a copy, with the most valuable being worth less than $30. They aren't well preserved, since I bought them to read, not make money on.

She is purchasing the 1-199 series. The first series and original. Looking for specific copies such as Mary Jane first introduction. Most are in decent shape and are going for $4-$5. I did purchase her a copy she wanted. It was a $15 and quite nice. She does read them then puts them pack in the protective cover. She has grown to enjoy the simpler things in life like a good comic book.

I did not get much into the comic when I was a kid. I did enjoy Cracked and Mad Magazine.

I'm guessing that would be the 1990 series by Todd McFarlane? The reason I keep asking is that there is when someone says "original" I think of the 1963 series by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, a copy of which is currently on eBay for $8400.

And that's only in 'Fine' condition. A 'Mint' issue is priced at $36,000.
