The Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series introduced its first villain on the show a couple of weeks ago. His name is Graviton. So with that, we have one of the hottest back issues in the market right now in Avengers #158 (1977). The issue was penciled by Sal Buscema, written by Jim Shooter, and with a cover by the great Jack \”the king\” Kirby.

Fine to Near mint copies are ranging from $25 – $35 right now. Do not expect this comic to command big bucks in the aftermarket for long. Once the Agents figure out a way to defeat and rid Graviton from their clutches, the Avengers #158 book will no longer be relevant. That\’s unless Marvel decides to revisit the character on the big screen which has about a 1% to zero percent chance of happening.

Buy this comic at your local comic shop that isn\’t really paying attention for a dollar and resale on Ebay quickly.

Invest wisely.
