TOP 10 COMIC BOOKS
# 2
HAWKMAN 4
This is the 1964 first appearance of Zatanna
$516(F) ⬆️ $59
🔥🔥🔥🔥
FACT: James Gunn makes a casual Zatanna-positive remark and there's a buying spree of early appearances. Still, not a lot of available copies at any given time of Hawkman 4.

This month's "Books With Pals" is on Absolute Wonder Woman and I am so glad I finally gave it a try. I wasn't interested in the premise because I didn't want a hard-core, sword-wielding Wonder Woman, but that was a misjudgment. Y'all were right to give it so much praise.
