Dot, you gotta come see this!
I went on line to see how much that 1963 "Avengers" comic book is worth.
wow! That much?
It belongs to joe now. He probably won't ever sell it.
He has to sleep eventually. that when we make our move!
even if this is a comic strip I have to say it won’t be that much because it’s made out to him if it just had Jack’s name only then it would be at least $55,000 if in mint
Jack Kirby" (August 28, 1917 – February 6, 1994),2 born Jacob Kurtzberg, was an American comic book artist, writer and editor regarded by historians and fans as one of the major innovators and most influential creators in the comic book medium.". . . yah, it’s worth sumthin . . .
Morally, Joe is wrong and should return it to his dad but I think legally if his dad gave it to him as a gift then it’s his to do with what he wants. If I gift someone “everything in my basement” then they have a legal right to anything they find down there.
But to keep the peace within the family, Joe should just give it back to his old dad.
If this were last month, I’d think that Joe would put the book into a protective sleeve/ or box and re-gift it to his dad for Fathers’ Day. But now, there’s no ‘cute’ way to give it back.(The comic is worth more to dad than $)

not if the signature is Frank Kirby!!!! That signature alone could double the price!

Depends……if the person is still alive, it may diminish the value, but if the person is dead, it can be worth a lot.

Wolvie #1 is worth $60 retail/Mint. Mine, being read a few times and dragged halfway around the world isn’t.

I don’t think Joe would be that petty, but the people in this strip often act petty for comic effect.
