When you think of central London, you probably picture red buses, iconic landmarks, and maybe a sneaky pint at the local pub. What you might not think of is one of the finest collections of Silver and Bronze Age comics we’ve ever seen! This wasn’t just any collection, mind you. We’re talking X-Men, baby—most of the Uncanny X-Men run from issue 90 to 200, alongside other treasures of the era.
If that doesn't make your inner nerd do a victory lap, what will? Let’s dive into the details of this haul and why, if you’re looking to sell comics (see what I did there?), Fantasy Road should be your first stop.
A Collection to Make Xavier Himself Jealous
This central London pick-up was a collector’s dream. Imagine flipping through page after page of some of the most pivotal X-Men storylines in history:
- Uncanny X-Men #94: The first issue to feature the all-new, all-different X-Men lineup, including Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler. It’s a cornerstone for any X-Men collection, and seeing it in this haul was like finding buried treasure.
- The Phoenix Saga (#101-108): Jean Grey goes from mild-mannered telepath to the universe-altering Phoenix. These issues are not just iconic—they’re a mandatory stop on the road to X-Men fandom.
- Days of Future Past (#141-142): Sentinels, dystopian futures, and Wolverine being Wolverine. This storyline has influenced more movies, shows, and spin-offs than I can count on two adamantium claws.
This collection didn’t just hit the big moments—it filled in the gaps with issues leading up to and beyond the legendary #200, which marked the end of writer Chris Claremont’s first decade on the series.
If your collection even whispers X-Men, you’re sitting on a mutant goldmine. Sell your comic books to us, and we’ll handle them with the love and care they deserve. (And we promise not to lock them in Cerebro.)
As well as this, we had the surprise of finding a Fantastic Four #48 hidden amongst the mix!
Why the Silver and Bronze Age Rocks
The Silver and Bronze Ages were when comic storytelling found its groove. The Silver Age brought us larger-than-life characters and colorful plots, while the Bronze Age injected more mature themes and social commentary.
The X-Men, in particular, thrived during this era. From battling Magneto and Sentinels to navigating the darker sides of humanity, this was when the X-Men became more than just superheroes—they became metaphors for the outsider in all of us.
So, if you’re holding onto comics from this golden (or should we say silver?) era, why not let them shine in someone else’s collection? Sell comics to Fantasy Road, and we’ll make sure they get the spotlight they deserve.
