This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, a classic John Byrne Doctor Doom cover is starting to move.

Our Hot Book of the Week is FANTASTIC FOUR #258 from 1983, featuring one of Byrne’s most memorable Doctor Doom covers. Raw copies are now selling for as much as $18, but is this the beginning of a bigger move or just a temporary bump?

For the 25 Year Rule, we revisit WOLVERINE: THE ORIGIN #1 from 2001, the series that finally revealed the mysterious past Marvel had protected for decades. We look back at why the story was such a major event, how it changed Wolverine forever, and why raw copies can still be found for around $6.

Our Underrated Books of the Week include:TALES OF SUSPENSE #59, featuring the beginning of Captain America’s Silver Age solo feature, the start of the Iron Man and Captain America split-book format, and the first appearance of Edwin Jarvis.

THE MAZE AGENCY #1, an affordable early Adam Hughes comic featuring full sequential artwork years before he became one of the industry’s most sought-after cover artists.
