Step back into the history of the Marvel Universe with our curated collection of vintage comics, spanning over half a century of storytelling. Whether you are a seasoned investor or a fan looking for a piece of your childhood, our inventory bridges the gap between the experimental Atlas Era of the 1950s and the blockbuster Modern Age of the early 2000s.
Our collection begins in the 1950s, a fascinating transitional period when Marvel (then operating as Atlas) moved away from superheroes to dominate the worlds of suspense, westerns, and sci-fi monsters.1 Moving into the 1960s Silver Age, we offer the foundational keys that started it all—the revolutionary debuts of the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the Avengers that redefined heroes as flawed, relatable humans.
For fans of grittier narratives, our 1970s and 80s selection covers the Bronze and Copper Ages. This era saw the rise of iconic anti-heroes like Wolverine and The Punisher, alongside legendary runs like Frank Miller’s Daredevil and the industry-changing Secret Wars. Finally, we carry a deep stock of the 90s and early 2000s, featuring the high-octane art of the Image founders, the birth of the Ultimate Universe, and the "Modern Age" stories that provided the blueprint for today’s cinematic universe.
Every book in our glass cases is a time capsule. From the smell of vintage newsprint to the vibrant cover art of legends like Jack Kirby and Todd McFarlane, we invite you to The Collectible Nerds to rediscover the Marvel legacy.
Explore the rich, multiversal history of DC Comics at The Collectible Nerds. Our collection spans the evolution of the "World’s Greatest Super Heroes," from the whimsical sci-fi of the 1950s to the gritty, high-stakes epics of the early 2000s.
Our journey begins in the late 1950s, a pivotal era that birthed the Silver Age. It was here that DC reimagined icons for a new generation, beginning with the debut of Barry Allen in Showcase #4 and the high-flying adventures of Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern. This was the era of the "Nuclear Age" and intergalactic threats, culminating in the first assembly of the Justice League of America.
As we move into the 1970s and 80s Bronze Age, the storytelling shifted toward social relevance and darker detective work. You’ll find the definitive Neal Adams and Denny O’Neil runs that returned Batman to his "Creature of the Night" roots, alongside the groundbreaking cosmic reset of Crisis on Infinite Earths. This era proved that DC wasn’t just about capes and tights—it was about complex myths.
The 1990s and early 2000s brought "event" storytelling to its peak. From the world-shaking Death of Superman and Batman's grueling defeat in Knightfall to the sophisticated "Modern Age" masterpieces like The Sandman and Kingdom Come, our inventory covers the books that redefined what a graphic novel could be. Whether you're chasing a rare Silver Age key or a nostalgic 90s classic, our glass cases are filled with the legends of the DC Universe.
Discover the bold, independent spirit of the comic world with our Dark Horse Comics collection at The Collectible Nerds. For collectors who want more than just capes and tights, Dark Horse has spent the last four decades as the premier home for high-concept sci-fi, dark fantasy, and the industry’s most respected creator-owned masterpieces.
Our inventory spans from the company's early days in the late 1980s, when titles like Concrete and Dark Horse Presents proved that independent anthologies could achieve critical acclaim. If you’re a fan of cinematic crossovers, you’ll find our shelves stocked with the legendary 1990s licensed hits that redefined the genre. From the terrifying Aliens and Predator expansions to the sprawling Star Wars "Expanded Universe" (now known as Legends), Dark Horse took movie properties and gave them the depth of epic literature.
The 1990s and early 2000s also saw the rise of Dark Horse’s "Big Three" creators. We carry the foundational keys of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy universe, the gritty, neo-noir shadows of Frank Miller’s Sin City and 300, and the quirky, vibrant adventures of Mike Allred’s Madman. These books represent an era when the industry’s top talent flocked to Dark Horse to own their work, resulting in legendary series like The Mask, Usagi Yojimbo, and The Goon.
Whether you are hunting for a rare Hellboy: Seed of Destruction or looking to complete your run of 90s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, our Dark Horse section offers a gritty, sophisticated alternative to the mainstream.
