Cloak & Dagger are some of the unsung heroes of the Marvel Universe, and while they had a shot at a live-action TV show already, the love their fans feel for them is unwavering. I have always thought that they were a way bigger deal than they actually are. When I was younger, I read Maximum Carnage, which was huge, and they played a really big part in it. So I thought, since Spider-Man was hanging out with them, they must be some of the coolest heroes around. Their debut from Spectacular Spider-Man #64 is a great book to own, and a CGC 9.8 copy is taking bids at Heritage Auctions right now. Sitting at $240, this is as good as you will ever see. Check it out below.
