Set Description:
Synopsis: Despite owning more than 500 of the books in this set, it’s nowhere close to complete, as Jack Kirby was responsible for more than 1,500 covers during his illustrious career. Still, this set is the second most valuable set in terms of registry points in the entire registry.
Background: We have owned most of these books for many years, but were never familiar with this set. This past year with all the down time from COVID, we took a look at the registry and created a number of additional sets for books we already owned.
In some cases, we created sets with only a couple of entires, here we already owned several hundred. Oddly enough, although we still only have a small fraction of the books, this set garners the most registry points of any set in the registry, which I guess is a testament to the profound effect Jack Kirby had on the industry.
I don’t realistically believe any collector could ever amass high grade copies of every book in this set, and we certainly have no aim to do so. However, we have started targeting a few books we did not otherwise collect for this set. I cannot even imagine what a completed set in high grade might tally.
