Comic books (Comics)/DOUBLE BOOK

Question
I have a hulk 326 with a single cover but double comics(same issue twice under 1 cover)- is this rarer than the double cover variants that sometime pop up?

Answer
Hi William -

Yes, that is extremely rare as it constitutes an error in the production process.  The value on something like that is hard to gauge.  Sometimes collectors will pay extra, sometimes not because it is considered a 'mistake.'

I've never seen two 'issues' under one 'cover' like that and, for me personally, that would increase the value of the issue, but other collectors might not feel the same way.

That is an interesting anomaly you've got there!

Thanks!

Expertise

I am an expert on the storylines of most DC and Marvel comics particularly the X-Men, Justice League and most Marvel comics of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The characters with which I am the most familiar are Daredevil, Iron Man, Batman, and the Avengers. I am a rabid Green Lantern fan as well and would put that as one of my favorite things in life! One thing I won't do is estimate the value of a comic book, if that is what you need check out www.comicspriceguide.com

Experience

I have collected comic books for 36 years and have close relatives in the industry who helped shape the direction of comics in the early seventies.
