BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of 9 Red Circle Comics Group Superhero Issues Including Black Hood, The Fly, and Comet

This collection consists of nine vintage comic books published by the Red Circle Comics Group, an imprint of Archie Comics, dating from their superhero relaunch between 1983 and 1984. The lot includes the premiere issues and early runs of several series. The Black Hood is represented by issue numbers 1, 2, and 3, all featuring cover art by artist Alex Toth. Comet is included with issue numbers 1 and 2, with the first issue reintroducing the character as a cosmic avenger. The Fly is represented by issue number 2, featuring a cover by artist Jim Steranko, and two copies of issue number 3, which features cover art by Steve Ditko. The set also includes Blue Ribbon Comics issue number 4, featuring Steel Sterling with cover art by Rudy Nebres. Five issues are housed in protective bags with backing boards, while four issues are loose.

Edges and corners remain sharp with minor blunting observed on select issues. Spines appear tight with very few visible stress lines. One copy of The Fly number 3 and Black Hood number 1 show very minor edge softening. There is no evidence of cover detachment or spine rolls.
