Answer
Hi Bob,

Based on the grades you gave them, probably not worth alot.  If I were selling a set like this on eBay, for example, I'd probably group the comics together rather than selling them individually.  I would list the magazine separately.  Because of the age of the magazine, if it's at least complete, you might find some buyers.  Some people will buy the old magazines just for the ads.

If you want to check on the value of the comics, I'd suggest checking out the web site comicspriceguide.com.  The site can be used for free to look up guide value information (you'll just need to register with the site to use it).  Once you have a userid, you can then look up the titles of the comic.

You can also do a search of completed items on eBay to see what similar items are selling for there.  That way if you decide to sell them, you'll have some idea of what to expect.

Hope this helps!
