  There were zombies aplenty in comics before Menace #5. That book was, however, the first appearance of Marvel&apos;s (then Atlas) Simon Garth character, the Zombie, who was revived later in his own magazine, Tales of the Zombie (1973).

  James, don&apos;t feel bad about including Detective Comics #1. You also had Daring Mystery Comics #1, Mystic Comics #1, and Red Raven #1 which are Timely (Marvel) books. 🙂 (Human Torch #2 actually continued the numbering from Red Raven.)

  A little over 20 years ago I was a kid and already had a passion for comic books. One day I went to the dollar store and saw they were selling comic books. I&apos;m guessing they were leftovers and were bought off at a cheap price from some furnisher who went bankcrupt or something. They had no idea what they were selling. All of them were brand new comics from the 80&apos;s ( this was in the early 2000&apos;s, so they were already a tiny bit rare ). There were some darker titles that aren&apos;t in much demand, but some Amazing Spider-Man and the now popular Suicide Squad were in there.<br><br>Being a fan of the Ninja Turtles back then, I knew that what I was seeing was worth a lot more than a few bucks. I ended up with a bunch of first, second and third printings of the original TMNT comics. For a handful of dollars. Buying them without going crazy was one of the hardest things I&apos;ve ever had to do in my entire life. Most of them are now worth between a few hundreds and a few thousands. I haven&apos;t sold one and don&apos;t intend to.<br><br>Leonardo #1 is by far my favorite in the lot even if it&apos;s not the most valuable. It&apos;s action packed from beginning to end and was most likely an inspiration for the first film when Raphael fights the whole foot clan, as some of the shots are near identical. I think the Turtles/Mirage Studio comics are worth mentioning when it comes to valuable non-DC/Marvel comics, although I do admit they aren&apos;t as old as the Gold Key era ones we see here.

  Suspense Comics #3 sold for $173,275 at Heritage in 2015. &nbsp;It is considered the MOST valuable comic that is not a DC or Timely/Marvel.

  Thanks for mentioning the Captcan break-in. Hopefully some of the people watching this video will see one of the books that were stolen and report it. The Captcan crew are great and it would be awesome if they get their books back.

  The MAD 1 and War on Crime 10 9.8 were Gaines file copies (pedigree). Back when EC was publishing comics, Bill Gaines would take about a dozen copies of each comic from the print run and seal them in a Manila envelope. Decades later, when the envelopes were opened, every copy was sparkling NM-M condition and are the highest graded ECs in existence.

  Enjoyed stepping away from the big two for a bit. Eerie #1 (Avon, January 1947) is the first all-original full horror book. The first horror comic is general considered to be Classic Comics #13 (Gilberton, August 1943), which adapted Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Classic Comics #27, adapting Frankenstein, followed in December 1945. Various horror stories also appeared in anthology books prior to Eerie #1, but Eerie was the first original all-horror book.
