Most Valuable Comic!

Comic Books Forum

I myself have a couple of comics that I consider to be of value... I guess the comic guide says so too...so it's NOT the sentimental kind of value!!!

I have three X-Men that are in the teens...
X-Men #11, X-Men #14, and X-Men #15...sort of valuable...though I am not sure of their exact value today!!!

I have a couple of others that I will try to find out about in a bit!

I don't know, but I have two first issues of X-Calibur. One I used to tracy out the picture of Rachel as Phoenix that was on the back, so it's got the indents on it from that... The other was kept in it's protective plastic sleeve, but has been curled a bit because I put it in a shoebox that was a bit smaller than the comic was............

I also have a few Classic X-Men issues (the re-issued ones, not the originals...), but I doubt they're worth anything.

I was GONNA get the Superman death issue, but I didn't have any money...

Well...Sierradaddy...at least you can say that you WERE gonna get it!!!! I don't like DC all that much so I don't know if any of the DC comics that I DO have are worth much...

I've got that one (original too)

I've got the original Superman death comic... in mint condition, wrapped and put away. As a matter of fact, I think that I have 3 or 4 of them.

Not to be a weenie, but I have all those comics you guys are talking about , except for Tear's X-Men comics.

My most prised comic in Avengers #10 in pretty good condition.

I have a lot of first issues also. Marvel made a lot of new titles in the 90's. I think my fav was either Moon Knight, New Warriors or Guardians Of The Galaxy.

-HECK!

Heck, you've got my X-Calibur 1st issue also? I thought the issue was crap...

Yeah, I do. I was never a big fan of X-Calibur either. I thought the issue was so-so. They just seemed like Marvel's answer to DC's Justice League Europe.

-HECK!

Before I sold my entire collection in order to meet bills that month (MANY moons ago) I had the entire death of Superman series and the rebirth that followed with his twin and all that crap - very cool. Also had the first 20 issues of Spawn, The Maxx and many early New Mutants. Never really understood the Mutants, though I tried like hell. I was on top of all the early image books. Sold a collection valuated by Wizzard mag at over $500 for a measley 80 bucks in a pinch.

Nowadays the only books I buy are big film to comic translations - you can get these before the film hits theaters. Last one I picked up was Star Wars: Episode 2 which I read a week before the film came out. The dialog in the book is DEAD ON with that from the film. My guess is because they base the book on an early screener copy of the film. This also results in a couple scenes present in the book that are later omitted from the film in the final cut. Very cool! Anyway, I have 5 or 6 favorite sci-fi & action flicks like that, but that's all I hold onto now. Those are the "sentimental" value types

1st issue of Power Man and Iron Fist

1st issue of Dr. Strange

1st issue of Power Pack

1st issue of Cloak and Dagger

2nd apperance of Iron Man

all of the ultimate books

the entire original Secret War series

The entire original Marvel Universe books (and everything I have is in good or better condition)

I have other things but I'm too lazy too write it down.

Iron Man #1

The death of Gwen Stacy, cant remember the issue #.

The death of Gwen Stacey

1st issue of the Justice League comic (first printing)

1st apperance of the Wolverine

The death of Phoenix (sp?)

- i have a few 100 comics, got rid of a lot past year or so. but i think i have a comic more valuable then those ive heard here.

- I HAVE SUPERMAN #1 FIRST SUPERMAN COMIC MADE -

- heres the story, i got it at a garage sale for 3.00 so i did pretty good, lol. very lucky break.

- word to ya mutha -

Wow ....YOU HAVE ACTION COMICS #1 ? you lucky dog you .

OK lets clear up some obvious confusion here.....

NO WAT DID THIS DUDE BUY SUPERMAN #! NOR ACTION COMICS #! FOR # BUCKS AT A YARD SALE!!

These are books worth tens of thousands of dollars { in mint condition} and finding them like this has become a popular urban myth.

Besides neither would constitute the first comic published. That honor resides with Famous Funnies #1.

Now this is not to say he is lying .. could be simply mistaken.

There have over the years been anniversary re-prints of these books.

As well there have been new books to re-launch these series beginning again with #1's.

There have even been numerous bogus counterfeits.

The odds of this person picking up an extremely valuable and rare comic from the 1930's at a yard sale today are too much to believe.

I have been collecting since childhood. My children now read thru some of my comics.

My collection was nearing the 10 000 issue mark when last I bothered to count.

My most valuable... I would have said years ago the death of supes but then that turned out to be a temporary market spike due to mainstream interest. That issue has dropped in value alot since then.

Spawn #1 still carries a decent value... mine is near mint.

I am fond of Showcase #54 that is first appearance of Silver Age Teen Titans, recent popularity has caused all Titans books to go up in value { even if the toon is only fit for 6 year olds... hell my 6 year old loves it...}

But more importantly the inate value of any comic should be the value it has for you the reader individually.

I do not intend to sell my books. My kids can someday if they like. I bought them, read them, shared them because of my wonder and love of the art form.
