*Vintage Magazine-Sized Comics: Two long-overlooked characters in the Marvel pantheon were Star-Lord, the cosmic adventurer who was introduced in a few issues of Marvel Preview and never really went anywhere, and the even more obscure Rocket Raccoon, a trash-talking throwback to the funny-animal era who was introduced in a back-up story in that same title. Both simmered into obscurity – until their revival as central characters in the sensationally successful Guardians of the Galaxy movies. This update, we present a FN/VF copy of Marvel Preview #4, the not-then-legendary Star-Lord’s debut, at £135, and a FN+ copy of Marvel Preview #7, where Rocket Racoon lurks behind the cover-featured Satana, at £140. Both have fewer laughs than the movie version (and definitely much quieter soundtracks!), but this is where these cult characters commenced, and prices are continuing to go bonkers with both unlikely heroes’ pivotal roles in the ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ blockbuster. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
