 Wherein my aunt brought two bagfuls of old comics that my uncle owned, including dictionary-thick paperback DC showcases of black and white comics that I suspect are from even before World War 2. In excellent condition, too. 

My aunt is telling me to sell them on ebay. They'd go for a few million dollars, she says. 

Maybe I will. Decades from now. After I make my nieces and nephews and possible children grow up with them. 
 
Just felt like I should share. 
 
For legality, one of the showcases that I have yet to know of: 
 
Warlord.

Not to rain on your parade, but they are actual DC Showcases like the one pictured above?

I know, just enjoy them. Just saying that you probably wouldn't get much money for them. Like half of the cover price.

Comics havn't really sold well since the crash. Thanks, 90's and collectors editions!

Definatly better just to enjoy them.

So which Showcases did you get?

Ah, nice.

They are indeed collected editions, old material reprinted in black-and-white to reduce costs.

I... like him... As in, my mind went... "hot!"... I wanna see more! More Warlord beefcakeness! I've never heard about this character. But I dig his looks.

He just looks like a muscular nude guy who's been surprised, instead of someone who's trying to telepathically force the knowledge of how many pec-flexes he can cram into a minute upon you.

That may not be what you meant (and I must say, he's got a good costume colour scheme!), but, that's what I noticed!

Yeah, but what got me was that silver moustache! We don't get to see many silver haired men in comics, and the ones we have rarely go naked (Cable almost never shows his... assets, although Magneto more than makes up for that). Warlord looks dignified with his face and Asgardian-like helmet, but dresses like a male stripper at the same time! And *that* is what is interesting about him, IMO.

If they are b&w like the one you have posted above, they aren't old at all. DC has been printing those in the last few years. They aren't collectible at all.

Not much value other than the sentimental.
