Free Comic Book Appraisals
Want a chance to learn more about your old comic books? Are you interested in their history, significance and potential value? If that sounds like you, then send me an EMAIL, preferably with high resolution scans or photos of the comic you're interested in learning more about and depending on how interesting it is, I might write about it for the site as a featured appraisal. I'll try to answer questions for anyone that sends in any book, but, depending on the volume, I can only guarantee that I'll write properly about books featured on the site.
Some notes:
- Only books from before 1980, please. Even books from the 1970s have very little chance of making it onto the site, but there are a few that would definitely be interesting to write about so I'll leave the cut-off at 1980.
- The appraisals are entertainment/informational purposes only – no certifications or exact valuations are given or guaranteed. Since I won't have the books in hand and will be judging condition from a scan, I will only provide informational estimates of condition and therefore value. If, after that, you need an official estimate for insurance purposes or want to get a solid estimate on the book in order to sell it I can put you in touch with someone trusted in your area to do a real appraisal.
The point of this offer is really to have some fun looking at old comics and educating people about old comics. Hard and fast valuations are for another venue.
- I need a good sized image- hopefully of the front and back. Scans should be 150-300dpi @100% and photos should be dumped right out of the camera as-is. I need as much detail as possible to judge condition. It's tough enough to estimate condition without the book in hand (so tough it's only a rough estimate and never an official pronouncement of grade.) It's impossible to do it with a small scan.
Thanks
I have a collecion of 440 comic books that I have had for over
20 years, mostly 60s. 70s. and some 80s. I live in a bedroom city of Abilene, Texas and am looking for an honest appraiser. I live about 160 miles from Dallas/Ft Worth
thank you for your assistance
Chuck
I HAVE A 1ST EDITION ISSUE OF THE
'SIMPSONS'
1ST EDITION
SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS WORTH…
I WANT TO SELL IT
LAST I HEARD THEY CAN REACH OVER $1000
In perfect condition it's sold for over $1000. Chances are good your copy isn't in perfect condition, so yours will be worth much, much less. Here's one for $4 on eBay
I have one in perfect condition….who buys that
Again, I doubt yours is actually in "perfect" condition. A merely nice copy will sell for a few dollars. As for who buys it, there's not like a clearinghouse. For something like that your best bet is eBay or something similar.
i have a mint conditon number 55 wolverine vs the incredible hulk how much would the value be
Dustin, I'm not exactly sure what you have, but chances are it's worth something like .50 to $1.
Hi Chuck. I'll ask around and will put someone in touch with you.
Hello, I have an original 1945 edition of Little Nemo In Slumberland published by McCay Features Synidicate (two-tone black and brown ink cover with black and white interior pages, reprinting 14 classic Windsor McKay Sunday pages from 1905 to 1911). I was wondering how much it was worth.
Irena
Thank you
Hi Irena, depending on the condition, the book could be worth anywhere from $10-100.
I have Marvel/DC comic books that range from 15 cents to One Dollar .Can I have a estimate guess on the value or what it can go for in a auction?(example:Peter Parker The Amazing Spider Man,Issue # 50, Price 35)
hi, if you want to email me a list, I'd be happy to give you a better sense of the book's values. There are books from that range (the prices indicate around 1970 through the 1980s) that could be worth hundreds or thousands or they could all be basically worthless. It really depends on the specific titles and issue numbers + the condition of the books.
Hello, I was wondering if I could email you a list of some of my comic books and possibly recieve information of some of their values.
Hi Montana,
feel free to email me a list, and I can give you general values. After that, if the books warrant it and you're interested, I can put you in touch with someone who can give you a real appraisal (which requires access to the books.)
I have a few comics and am curious what they would be worth the punisher 2099 1st edition robin 30000 1st edition robin 3000 2nd edition doom 2099 1st edition spider man 2099 1st edition venom 1st edition.

Hi Lacey,
If the spine is falling apart, the book might only be worth a few dollars.
Hello,
I have a lot of old comics given to me by my uncle. The only thing is, they are books containing multiple comics. I have The Amazing Spider Man #1-25 I believe in about 5 books published in the late 70's early 80's, any ideas on what they would be worth?
Hi Josh,
Got a photo of one of the books? I'm not sure what have.
Hello Rob,
I have a comic book called Tony Wong presents Drunken Fist by Jademan comics. I got this when a Grandpa Pigeon store was closing in the 80's. In fact, I bought several DC and Marvel comics as well (they came in a package called "Super Value Comics" out of print comics special purchases collectible titles packaged in the USA. Some contain one book, the others contain two).
Anything you can tell me about these?
Thank you!
Tammy
hi Tammy, The Jademan book, while very cool (I read that series as well as several other Jademan books back in the day) is basically worthless as a collectible.
The value of the Marvel and DC books would depend on the title and condition. If you have a list or just want to send me a photo of the books I can help you out a little more…
thanks
i have the first issue special of Enter the lost world of the warlord and king conan dragon wings over zembabwei i was just wondering how much they would be worth

Hi, Rob.
I have 18 Richie Rich comics and about 26 Marvel Spiderman Comics ranging from early to late 70's.
could you give me an estiamte on how much this would be worth?
Hi Hannah, I'd need to have a list of the books, including issue numbers, and photos of them to get any sense of their worth. Certain "Spider-man" comics from the 1970s could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Others might be worth 25 or 50 cents. Thanks!
HI. I was wondering what the value would be on a 30th Anniversary issue of Spiderman. (365) It has been in a cover since purchase and the hohgram on the front is perfect! Thanks guys
hi kassi, in nice shape it might be worth $1 or $2.
hey I have a dc comic issue #26 of the warlord (the challange)and its still in plastic never opened from when I got it. could you tell me how much it would be worth thank you
hi Donnie, The Warlord is not really a heavily collected title, so the book isn't worth much at all.
I have a Aug. 16 02902 comic book that is The Mighty Thor Marvel Spectacular from aruond 70s. And a Casper The Friendly Ghost Nightmare The Galloping Ghost from Feb. in the 60s. And a Marvel Omega The Unknown from 70s Sept. 4 02333. And a Marvel KA-ZAR Lord Of The Hidden Jungle from Oct. 18 70s 02492. These are all in mint condition.
Thanks
hi Karen,
None of those comics are particularly valuable, regardless of condition.
Sorry.
hey my friend has a few comics that she would like to get values on, now she is not that handy with a computer so she has asked me to assist her, as we work for the same company
now she has a variety of dc,marvel,eclipse comics dated from 1988-1989 and titles include the doom patrol, gilgames h, power of atom, excalibur, starman, superman, dirty pair, flash, dragon lance and millennium week 1 and the episode are too numerous to add. she would just like to know if they have any facevalue. thank u julia
julia, it really depends on the condition and the issue numbers. Off-hand I'd guess they wouldn't be worth much, but there are always surprises to be found. If you could even just take a picture of them, I could maybe give you some idea.
i have a Supermans girlfriend lois lane comic book from 1969 may number 12 in ok conditon definatly not mint what would it be worth?

I have The Death of Superman i believe is issue #2 or is the second copy made how much is this comic book worth ive heard that its worth alot but im not sure and it is mint condition in a plastic sleeve to keep safe
hi Mike, a regular first print of that book (Superman #75) is worth between say, $5 and $100, depending on the condition. A 2nd print would be worth considerably less.
so y is a #75 worth more then #2
Hi mike,
The "Death of Superman" occurs in issue #75 of the Superman comic book. So, when you ask me what the "Death of Superman" you're really asking what Superman #75 is worth.
If you have a 2nd printing of Superman #75, that's worth less than a 1st printing because people really only collect 1st printings.
well its a series right or no. i mean i have the one where he is dead at the end of the comic i really dont know much about comics
Hi Mike, is this the book you have? If so, a 1st print is potentially worth a few dollars, (it will say right on the inside from cover) a 2nd print is basically worthless.
thanks
yea thats exactly the one so its worthless then
well on the inside cover it says Superman 75 Jan, 1993 Fourth Printing G-7771
Yeah, the valuable version is the 1st printing. Sorry!
hmm i have tons of comics some of them gotta be worth something. wat was ur email maybe i can take pics and give u info and u can tell me.
Sure you can definitely email me a list or some photos. I do have to warn you that a lot of books from the 90s are basically worthless. There are some exceptions though, so definitely send me what you've got.
my email is savier_420@yahoo.com i dont care if anyone sees it. but i dont see ur email so send me an email so ill have yours
My email is linked in blue where it says "email me a list or some photos" You can just click that to email me (or you can type in rob.react@gmail.com )
yea i clicked that link and it said Error 404 but ill get that list to you as soon as i can thanks for the info on the superman one
i have a peter parker spider-man #48 comic book that has only been touched once. how much is it worth?
if you go to http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/6060/173877-9142-113659-1-peter-parker-spider_super.jpg
you will see what it looks like
Hi Brian,
That book would probably sell for $2 or $3 in a comic shop.
thanks
Hi Rob,
I have a Dec. 1933 Heinous Funnies, No. 1, Featuring Itchy & Scratchy, Mint Condition How much do you think it is worth?
I have a Conan Saga (Red Nails) vol.1 no.9 and was wondering what its worth.Its not in that bad of shap really, the cover has miner tares.
Hi Bryan,
It's not worth much of anything.
Thanks,
rob
I have never before opened comics I recieved direct from Marvel nearly 20 years ago. They are still in original wrap.
1. Issue #1 Bucky O'Hare. 1990
2. 1st All-New Collectors item issue of Spiderman (1990)
3. The Amazing Spider man Issue Volume 1 no. 337
4. X-Men Classic Vol 1 No. 57

9. X-Factor #63
hi Mark,
99% of books from that era are completely worthless. Those fall into that category.
Sorry.
Will they ever be worth anything? 20 more years from now maybe?
they could be. Since they're "worthless" right now, people might start to recycle them, or hand them out to kids on Halloween. Slowly but surely the number of copies available will start to shrink and all of a sudden they've become more valuable.
-Hello, I recently purchased a comic book to read, it was The Amazing Spider-Man #580.
-I bought it for about 3 dollars, and then i realized there was a signature from the author. The author is Howard Stern, and i didnt know how well known of an author he is.
-How much -if its worth anything- can i sell it for?
-Thanks for your time!
ok sorry rob, i said howard stern, haha
_ Roger* Stern
Sorry about that, thanks!
Comics aren't really increased in value, most times, by the writer or artist's signature.
I have been trying to find a value for #75 The Death of Superman. If you could tell me the value of this comic I'd greatly appreciate it.
Kent,
In absolutely perfect condition it might be worth 75-80. There's a "poly-bagged" edition that might be worth significantly more.
wondering what dragon lance from aug 1990 and grim jack number 3 are worth
Tom, they're worth maybe .25-50 each
Good morning Rob,
May I please have your email as I would like to send you a list
of comic books that I have.
I need a qoute from someone who has good knowledge.
Thank you
Hi luc,
email me at rob.react@gmail.com
Hi, I have Peter Parker the Spectacular Spiderman issue 1, I was wondering the worth, it is in perfect condition, in a plastic sleeve. My friend also wants me to ask about one of his. He has the first ever appearance of The Punisher (i don't remember the actual name of the book, just that it's his first appearance) it is also in perfect condition in a sleeve, and he also has a perfect condition first appearance of the black suit in spiderman.
Hi Rick,
In truly perfect shape the Spectacular Spider-Man book would be worth about $250. Chances are your book is not in that highest, highest grade so it's probably worth significantly less. People bought and saved boxes of that book, so it's very common.
The first appearance of the Punisher was in Amazing Spider-Man #129. In perfect shape, it's worth $7-10000. Again, chances are his book is not in that kind of shape and would therefore be worth anywhere between $150 and maybe $750
The first black costume appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #252 would be worth anywhere between $5-250 depending on the condition.
If you have scans or high res photos of any of the books I can give you a better idea of the value.
thanks, i'll try to get scans, but i know that the books were bought new from his dad, never been read, and were put in the plastic right after bought. same with my spiderman, he had 2 copies and gave me one of them. thank you for the info.
Hi Rick,
It's tough to describe without examples in hand, but the difference between the very best books and lesser copies are very difficult for most folks to see.
i have a freddy vs jason vs ash #2 signed by Eric powell, punisher 2099 #1 holographic, the man called nova #25 (from the 70's) and the hulk #377. im wondering how much these are worth cause i think they may be my most valuable and lol i got the nova one from my library for 25 cents
Hi Sage,
I don't know anything about the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash book. The other three are probably worth .50-1
Hello, Rob. I have one DC comice book that i would like to learn more about the value – The Brand New Adventures of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. The cover lists 1958 – 59 Issue. Published by National Comics Publications, Inc. Information that you might provide will be greatly appreciated. I will try to scan a copy to provide to you tomorrow. Thank you!
i have 40 issues of a comic called ALF. i also have MAD comic books. i really want to know how much they are worth.
thank you rob
Some of the Alf's guide for $3-4 each, which generally indicates someone is actually buying them. I have no idea of their true value however. What years are the Mads from?
feb. 1957 cbs television prensetns the adventures of mighty mouse, good condition…?????????????
Corey, do you have a photo or scan of the book?
hello i have the complete series of the warlord starting 1975 in very fine condition on all books and all annual specials as well and the first issue is signed by mike grell. i was wondering if you can give me a rough estimate of the value of the entire collection? all books have been sleeved since purchase.
Hey Rob,
Bought a lot of Star Wars comic books, mint condition from Comic Books stores (marvel). Surprised to see that they aren't worth much. Used to be able to find comic books everywhere, not so much anymore. Why the fall out?
Hi Mike. You're kind of asking two questions. Comic pamphlets have mostly moved into specialty stores and the combination of Manga digests and Graphic Novel format comics now dominate bookstores, so the comic market has really just changed over the past 30 years.
The star wars books aren't that valuable because they were very popular and were released in an era where everything that was bought was saved. So there are many thousands of nice copies of all the early issues.
Thanks for the response, its appreciated. I've seen the first edition #1 issue Star Wars comic going for 3k….mine is also very good condition, bagged from the time I got it stored in a box, all the pages are there and white. New at this, how to get an appraisal? I'm sure mine's not worth 3k….but just curious how much, the wife needs a minivan! ahahha
The copy that went for $3000 was a 35 cent variant. That's a rare version. Chances are very good you don't have that version (which isn't to say your copy might not have a 35 cent price tag- it might. There are many 35 cent reprints. Those are worthless. ) If you have a regular, 30 cent first print in nearly perfect condition, professionally graded by the folks at CGC, then it might be worth $500.
If you have a high resolution photo or a scan, I can give you some sense of what it might be worth.
Thanks for helpin me understand Rob, its appreciated. Why the different symbols on the prices….some have a diamond, and some are squared off? I hope that makes sense, and I'll take a photo of the one I have.
hi Rob i would like to know the price of a have a superman pal,Jimmy olsen year 1965 issue 13, thank you
Depending on the condition it could be worth anywhere from maybe $5 to a few hundred dollars. Likelier in the lower end of that range.
Is The All New X-men #10 worth anything? It is part of Marvels 25th Anniversary.
Not worth much at all. There were many of them printed and many thousands of them were stored away.
Thanks for you time.
I have a Spiderman 25th Aniversery edition still in the plastic, never been opened. I got it when I was 2 or 3 so im guessing its about 20 years old. I was just wonding if you could let me know how much it is worth because im looking to sell it. Thanks
Hi, that comic isn't worth much at all.
Sorry.
Hey Rob,
I have Amazing Spiderman #121, and #122. Original prints. Their in plastic intact with no major tears. Maybe a crease or two from before my time, but they have been wrapped in plastic and stored for the last 16 years. I was just wondering their worth….Thanks
They'd be worth some $$, basically regardless of condition. How much exactly would depend on the condition. Feel free to email me @ rob.react@gmail.com if you've got some photos.
OK, thanks for the reply. I will do that. I'll snap some pics after work and send this afternoon.
Hi, I have a good condition Dec. 1933 Heinous Funnies, No. 1, Featuring Itchy & Scratchy, which unfortunately get wet because of a leak in the house. I want to claim from the insurance company, could you tell me the approximate valuation?
Thanks,
Diran
How much would The Amazing Spider Man comic #53 be worth? If it's worth anything decent I will gladly email you pics of the condition. It's yellowing a bit, all the pages are in tact, and there an itty bitty super tiny tear on the back cover.
Hi, spider-man #53 is worth SOME money almost regardless of condition. If you had photos that would be best.
Hi, I'm looking at selling a Mighty Mouse Comic… First edition number 41. Its been wrapped and other than a small tear at the bottom of the front cover is in excellent condition. How much would it be worth?
I have a DC comic of The Flash . Vol 30 No 263 .Published in July 1978. I want to find out how much its worth without paying a website to find out. Can you help ?
in exceptional shape it might be worth $10-20. In lesser shape maybe .50-$1
HI I dont have a scan, but I have a Mad magazine from the Kennedy / Nixon election year. Prime condition, my dad has had it forever, we dont even look at it. Front and back cover either have JFK or Noxon campaign win on them. Pretty funny. Worth anything or should we just hold on to it?
I have a ton of comics. The ones we r wondering about are. Flintstone teenage year. #1 1972 issue and a few others. Could u help us find out what it is worth??
Hi tif, if you could email me a list of the books you have to rob.react@gmail.com, I can give you a better idea of what you've got.
HI Rob again Im wondering about a comic called Lord Jim, 1957 #136. Also Spider man Horns of the rhino? We cant remember the edition we have. Thanks!!
Hi,
The Lord Jim comic is Classics Illustrated #136. Classics Illustrated comics don't sell very well, so it's maybe worth .50 or $1.
WHT ABOUT THE SPIDER MAN HORNS OF THE RHINO???
The title isn't the most useful piece of information about a comic. The issue number is what I really need to get some sense of the value.
I have a few comics that I'd like to see if they have value. I couldn't get your link to coperate. If you let me know where to send my list with pics I would be happy to know your opinion. Thanks, Sandra
Sandra, you can email rob.react@gmail.com
hi i was wondering how much an issue 4 conan the barbarian(1975) is worth in great condition
is this a magazine?
Hi. I have many Enter the Lost World of the Warlord from October 1981 number 50 through February 1987 number 114 with several missing. I also have the annual editions for 1983, 84, and 85. They have not been specially cared for, but they are in good condition (no tears or dirt). Any value here?
Thanks.
if you sold the entire lot together, you might be able to make some money- $25-50 or more. Individually, I don't think there's anything of value.
Hello Rob,
Was wondering if you may be able to tell me if any of the following may be of any value?
1.) Vison and the scarlet witch issues 1-3
2.) GI Joe (real american hero) 29, 33, 40,41
3.) SGT Rock 405, 406
4.)Red Sonja, 1, 2 (in a two art limited series)
5.)LongShot 2-4 in 6 issue limited series
6.) Hex 1,2, 3, 4 (this is not Jonah Hex)

My roommate inhearted her mom's comic books of called Classics Illustrated she has diffrent numbers and we are not seeing any info in the books to tell anything about em wondering if you can help us tell anything about them i keep seeing like 1st ed or hlm or something but we are not seeing that in the books
Classics Illustrated are very confusing except for people who collect them and aren't very valuable except in very specific circumstances
There's actually a very easy way to determine the value of Classics. Classics were reprinted a zillion times, and in the vast majority of cases, only the first printing has any real value.
On the back cover (or the inside front cover) there is a re-order form. You'll see a list of issue numbers. If the "Highest Reorder Number" (HRN) is the same (or one higher) than the comic you have, that's a first printing (for example, if you have a copy of Classics Illustrated 90, and the HRN is also 90, that's an original), and has some value.
In some early issues, the second printing also has some value, but those are the exceptions. There were three issues that were NOT reprinted at all, and only have one edition, issues 53, 70, and 73. Those are worth significant sums as there's a strong demand for them. Hope this helps.
Awesome, Dan. Thanks!
Thank you's very much I will let her now and she can figure it out. LOL But thanks again.
I have a Mighty Mouse , Thre Dimension , Oct. 1953 ,w/ space goggles ,vol. 1 no.1 in good cond.
got a scan or photo?
thanks Rob for the adventure. D
Hello Rob
I just wanted to know what was the total print run for the
DC Comic's Superman 75 poly=bagged
( Or better know as the black with the bleeding " S " )
I ask because as of today I just got back my cover from cgc and it was graded 9.8 only 35 copy's that high so now, I wanted to find out the print run amount ….Do you know that imformation or could you point me in the right path to find out ???
Thanks
Glynn
Hi Glynn,
I really have no idea. That's not the kind of book I follow all that closely.
Thanks!
The print run on that book was EXCEPTIONALLY high, maybe two million or higher, plus it has seen significant reprinting. GPA is showing the 9.8 price cratering.
Hey, I have a large collection of comics I would like to get appraised. Titles include Green Lantern, Superman, Blue Beetle, Captain America (including The Bloodstone Hunt arc, 357-364). I live in Virginia, near Roanoke, any way you could help me find someone who could help me out fairly close by?
Hi Justin, what years would those books be from? 80s, 90s?
They are mostly 80's, a few earlier, but not many.
Hi I have a 1966 Spider- man golden record #1 reprint still sealed in the shrink with the record, it has never been opened, I found one on ebay that was graded high for 3200 but this has never had a hand on it in 44years. Its mint cause its still sealed, what would you say its worth, if not sure please give Me a ball park figure. Thanks So Much George
Depending on exactly how nice it is it could be worth anywhere between $500 and $2500 for just the comic. I don't really know anything about them if they're still sealed in terms of value.
Rob if I am correct I believe there were only four of these released in 1966 Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thor, and Spiderman, I have three out of the four all new and still sealed never been opened I do have the fourth one but it has been opened. I do not know alot about comics but I am pretty sure I should not have them opened to be graded correct? As they all sit now they are flawless. Thanks again George
I would have to ask around to see what they're worth, sealed. Yes, to get them graded by CGC you'd have to send them down to Florida unsealed.
the one copy of the Spider-Man book I know of (and it's not something I follow at all) sold for around $1000. I'll email you for some more info.
Thanks Rob!! I called a local shop and they want me to bring it in, not sure yet if Im willing to do so. Thanks again!!! George
IF they are still sealed, I'd be very interested in them all.
Rob
Just curious what you think that Avengers one will go for unsealed and ungraded? Just a shot in the dark estimate.
Thanks George
You email has been weird. I get a "delayed delivery notice." It might be worth $100-200 ungraded. It's tough to guess.
Dear Rob, I'm holding a bunch of marvel comics, mostly in the siver age group. They are all in good condition. I can send pictures and a list. Their is a convention( Comic ) coming to town next month and I'm looking for the safest way to sell them and get their maximum value, what do you advise.
Sure, feel free to send me some photos.
Hello! Was wondering how much mint X-Files comics are worth. I have all issues and rare. Mainly what are -2,-1, 0, and 1 value. All in 9.9 condition. Thanks
CGC graded copies, were they really 9.9 might be worth a $1-200. They're probably not 9.9 though, so your books are probably not worth getting graded. 9.4s and 9.6s sell for just over the cost of grading or below $10-40. Raw, I would imagine they might bring a couple of dollars each
I have a lot of older comics! I am scanning them so I can send the pictures to you . But I will need you email account number.
rob.react@gmail.com
Rob I tried to send you pictures of some of my comics but the file was to big to send to you.
You can try something like http://www.yousendit.com/
I am sorry I am Computer illiterate and do not know what to do when going to a site like that.
I will try to get all my books scanned and put on a disc. Then I will ask where to send it.
Thanks Clinton
Before you go to any trouble like that, why don't you just email me a list of what you have. That way I can save you time if the books are not that valuable.

The first is CGC graded at a 8.0 its The Adventures Of Superman 500 the cover is signed by the artist Jerry Orday and says 111/2500 and i have a certificate with it also. Secound i have a CGC graded 9.0 comics Fallen Son The Death Of Captain America#3 its the misprint the com ic has the interior of Fallen Son The Death Of Captain America #4. Please Help Thank You
The adventures of superman is worth maybe $20-30 as a signature series (yellow label.) Maybe $5-10 otherwise (blue label)
The fallen son book it worth maybe $5-10 as well.
I have approximaty 1,200 comic books. Many from 50's and 60's
I am curious of the value of one in particular. Superman No. 1 (reprint 1966) what would this book be worth.
Also, I have Classics Illustrated from No. 1 Three musketeers up to no. 169 with a few missing in between.
Hey Ray,
If you have a list, I can take a look and let you know what might be of interest. I can tell you there are many, many, many, many more books than that Superman #1 reprint from that would be of interest to collectors. Failing a list, where are you located? I might be able to put you in touch with someone I know who could look at the books in person.
Rob
I have several Classics Illustrated comic books 25cents priced on each #76,77,78,81,99,100,128,134,135. The are all in VG condition, no torn pages, front and back in tack, no tattered or ragged pages. Can you give me any clue as to the value of them?
Thank you,
Karen
Hello my nam@e is Eslynn Myles. The day my father found out he was haveing twins he told my mother to not throw his comics books away because he was saving them for his babies. So now I have a big box of comics maybe about 250 to 450. So can u tell me what some of them are worth.
I can, if you can provide a list or some photos.
Hi Rob,I have a Special Limited Edition United States Postal Service Commemorative Action Comics #1 The first appearance of Superman, June 1938. It came with a cancelled $.32 stamp of Superman first day of issue Cleveland, OH Sept 10, 1998. It's in it's original plastic wrap, never opened. Any idea if it's worth anything, Thanks, Rich
Hi Rich,
it guides for $8 in Near Mint condition. I have no idea what it would sell for.

I really don't know Classics Illustrated all that well. They might guide for $4-10 or so.
I have a Marvel Tales 1977 in which Spider-man is revealed as Peter Paker. Excellent condition… any value???
probably not. What # and what is the cover price?
I have a dc superstars (batman) 100 C-25 32106. Paid $1.00, I believe it's from late 70's. Any Idea what's it worth
assuming it's in VG condition (the average condition for a comic book) it'd be worth maybe 5x what you paid.
I have the entire original Rip Hunter Time Master series, The original Silver Surfer series from the 60's, and the first appearance of Silver Surfer/Fantastic four #48.I also have the DC Green Lantern comic in excellent condition. Most books are in excellent condition. I'd like to have them graded, but am afraid to mail them out. Do you have suggestions, or a value estimate? I started collecting in the early 80's with my dad, and we have thousands and thousands of comics, that are just as cool as the above. I'm trying to get a ballpark of value, or some advice.
The value could be significant (thousands), or not-so-significant (hundreds) depending on the condition. If you want to send me some photos I can give you a sense of where they land on that scale.
Howdy! I just bought a special edition The Spectacular Spiderman deluxe edition, Spidey's greatest foes. The back is damaged a bit, but otherwise it's in great shape. What's it worth?
Do you have a photo?
I have a Daredevil the man without fear! Marvel comics Group. Guest-starring the Sub-Mariner and Spider-man.June 1977 #02459. New condition in wrapper. I was wondering the worth. please Email me at the above. additional info, it has an Approved by the Comics code authority printed on the top right.Not faded or wear or tear. THank you, Larry Hawkghost.
Hi Larry,
If it's what I think it is, it's probably worth a couple of bucks. I'd have to see the actual book to really know its value.
I have the Classic Illustrated comics ….1970 issue….numbers to 164……..missing about 40 books in between the 164…….It is in fairly good condition, considering that is the 1970 issue…the spines are all good…front and back covers good….what do you think the market value is
hi sylvia,
Without more info I'd guess maybe a few $$ apiece.
Hi Rob,
We were cleaning out my boyfriends closet and found alot of first print comics all in amazing condtion, all from from '86 and '87. We also found alot of Conan the barbarian, New mutants, GROO, Conan the king, X factor, Dare devil, and THOR. All are close to perfect. Just wondering how much they would be worth, and the best way to sell them.
Thanks!
Oh, and lot's of x-men too.
Hi Nakia,
If you had a list I could maybe point out a few that were valuable. For the most part books from the 1980s were hoarded in great quantities so, with some exceptions, most of them are only worth .50 to $1 retail.
The new mutants 51-60
giant sized xmen 11×2
classic xmen 11
xmen over 50 of them, still have to go through them. all 100's -200's
GROO 25-34
conan the king 22-45
daredevil 242, 244, 249
Thor 378-386
conan the king 36-45
This is a wonderful service you do…Thanksx10.
Hi nakia,
Some of the x-men in the 100s might be worth a few dollars, depending on how low the numbers are. The rest aren't really worth much at all.
Hi I have "The Fantastic Four" Volume 1 issue #4, from May 1962 in good condition. Wondering how much it's worth. Thanks
I haave numerous comic books. Would like to know what the 136 edition of superman is worth. It is in excellent condition.
assuming VG, which is the average condition of a comic book- maybe $30-40
I have the conan with record edition…what is that worth…it is in excellent condition
I have a 1976 special collectors edition fantastic four issue number 11. It is in good condition. Any idea how much this is worth?
Hi Fred, maybe a couple of dollars.
I have a marvel comic still in plastic, its star wars return of the jedi #1 in 4 issue series, how much is it worth?
Hi elijah, the book guides for around $10 in really nice shape. I'm not sure how much it would actually sell for, however.
I have a 1978 The Man Called Nova issue 20
A giant justice league of america no.139 from 1977
And marvel tales 1977 panic in the prison starrin spider man no. 80
What are the values of these
Hi nick, those are basically worthless- maybe .25 to .50 each in most cases.
I have a silver surfer #1 and a 50th anniversary edition of silver surfer worth anything at all?
Which Silver Surfer #1?
I have some adult comics and was wandering if you may be able to apraise them for me. I am just kinda curious. I have,
1. vol. 1 issue 3 and 4 of Kabuki by David Mack
2. Aircel, Chuck Austen's HARDBALL #2 (it does not give a volume)
3. CFD Productions, #1 vol. 2 NOIR Quarterly
the kabuki books might sell for a $1 or $2. The other ones are .50 books.
Oh and I also have angel entertainment, Willow #0
Hello, I have protected issues of Witchblade 1-40, as well as alternate covers, Tales, and compilations. Projected value?
Hello, I have a rare copy of Alex Nino's Satan's Tears, number 209 of 1,000.
I heard it's value ranged between $500 – $1,000.
what is your opinion?
Need some JPEG pictures of it?
I look forward hearing from you again soon.
Nicholas
No idea, really. Those kind of books are tough to figure out unless you're actively tracking them.
i have like 40 to 50 all superman DC comic books, they are all in perfect condition. i had bought them from this old guy at a yard sale and he had them for a few years and ive had them now for over 12yrs and i never took them out of the plastic and all the corners are in perfect shape. how much would they be worth. and i didnt buy them as a set, he was selling them all seperate. i paid alot for them.
Hi antonio, what numbers? There are some Superman comic books worth tens of thousands of dollars and others worth .50 if you're lucky enough to find a buyer.
Two quick questions sir. I've noticed the term "variant cover" while scanning websites to determine a value for my collection. Question #1. I was itemizing my collection and noticed 3 issues of the Amazing Spider-Man, 186, 187, and 188, that are slightly different. They are in M-NM condition. However, the price is notated as 35c and the bar code box on the lower left hand corner of cover is blank. While viewing different websites, I've seen only issues that do have the bar code and the price is highlighted as "Still Only 35c", slightly different than my three. Do you think there is a difference in the general value?
Question #2, before the 10pt grading system was established, someone wanted to buy Tales of Suspense #39 that I own. They graded it as VF +. What do you think a competitive value is?
Thank you very much.
The Spider-Man books are Whitman variants. These were books sold in Whitman 3-packs.
If you actually have a VF+ (which translates to 8.5 on the 10 point scale) then it would be worth maybe $15,000+. Whether or not it's actually VF+ is another matter entirely. Some dealers' VF+ 20 years ago would be a 6.0 (or worse) today. Feel free to follow-up via email if you have any other questions about the TOS 39.
Thank you very much sir. Re: the Whitman variants, if all things are equal between the conditions (whitman vs non whitman) is there a value difference? I have postings on "comic link" where the variant cover was allegedly worth more. Thanks again….
One thing I learned when the TOS was graded, was to keep it in plastic and not touch it. One of the few things that I have done right. Thanks for your quick response and this website. Check back tomorrow.
A question about grading sir. As I try to conservatively assess the value of my collection, I've noticed that some older issues are in very good/fine condition…except…the color has yellowed on the edges of the cover and pages. Before I learned about properly storing them, no doubt they were exposed to light and the elements way back when. How much would that effect the grading of the issue or drop the grading?
Thanks again.
DEAR FRIEN'S I HAVE A COMIC BOOK OF MILTON GROSS
DEAR DOLLINK, WITH AUTOGRAPH ON IT
AN ALSO A ORIGINAL PICTURE OF HIM AND FRIENDS
CAN YOU TELL ME IS THIS HAVE ANY VALUE?
AND WHERE CAN I SEND SOME PICTURE OF IT
THANKS.
hi i have dragon lance 1st issue published dec 88 in sleve in mint or near mint condtion how much would it be worth and how do i no if its 1s print ? thanks
oh and the bar code is blank what does that mean ?
Maybe .50 or $1.
how do i find if my comics are first print and whats up with the bar code bit ?
Most (99.9999999%) comics are 1st print, actually. It's rare to have a comic go to second print. If it's a 2nd print it will usually say it somewhere on the 1st page or inside front cover.
In that case, I think the blank UPC means it's a direct edition (sold only in comic shops.)
I trying to find out how much my comics I have are worth but I can't find anything that will help me out???
What comics do you have?
iam looking for the price of some 20 to 50 year old comic books
Don, that's a pretty broad range. Values for books that fit that description could be anywhere between .10 and $750,000 or even $1,000,000 depending on the title, issue number and condition.
Hello Im in Houston TX do you know of any good comic book stores? Anyway Im looking in to unloading some of my goods I don't really know how to look up these comics? I need appraisal for a couple of things:
The death and return of superman Black and white bags unopened?
DC vs. Marvel complete set never taken out of the sleeve mint perfect condition?
The complete Amalgam first set of twelve also never opened in sleeves?
Also a complete set of Spider man comic cards of all the covers with Stan Lee's autograph on the "the amazing spider-man" cover 1 signed?
Nothing you've listed is particularly valuable.
Hi, I recently purchased 6 comic books…Three which are Young Klondike issue #s 8,9,10 in volume 1 from June of 1898.And the other three are called War Weekly issue #s 41,54, and 60 something from 1878 volume 1. I've had no luck in finding values or other comics like these…I was hoping you could tell me more about it and possibly values and rarity….All six of the comics are in very good condition…Only thing mentionable would be the pages are yellow due to age but other than that very still in contact no damage…Please reply would be much appreciated..Thanks…
Hi Madison,
They're not comics, which is why you're having a hard time finding info on them. They're what are called "dime novels" (in the States) or "penny dreadfuls" in England. I have no clue as to value and am not even sure that they're actively collected. They may be, I just don't know. They're far outside my area of expertise.
Okay well thank you very much, hopefully I can find someone else that would know more…I have one more question this time actually involving a comic….I have a Our Gang Comic featuring Tom and Jerry…It was printed in Australia by The Pinnacle Press Printers, and Published by Frank Johnson.No where in the comic is there a year to be found nor the cartoonist who drew it..What really intrigues me is on the cover is Tom and Jerry and the colors are switched…Tom is brown and Jerry is grey..I tried looking information on this but all I could find was something about how it was either an error or that it was just the beginning of drawings of Tom and Jerry and they later switched it to what most comics of Tom and Jerry or featuring them as Tom grey and Jerry brown…I could not find at all any photos or information on this comic.The inside is black and white drawings, and the cover is in color.Also the drawings or printed drawings are very poor..Especially the Tom and Jerry..It seems that the drawings were when they first sketched them…I know with comics that most of the cartoons were improved to much better as the artsit evolved the cartoon…I was wondering if you knew any info on this one or could find some…I'm pretty sure it's very rare..If you would like pictures let me know and I will take some and send them to you…Hope to hear soon again…
It's probably a reprint of one of the US Dell comics. Mistakes like that can easily happen with reprints as the people doing the printing and separations are several steps removed from the original art and production team. I don't really deal with australian comics, especially reprints, so I can't give you much detail. The original american versions are worth between $5-200 depending on condition. Most of the time foreign reprints are worth significantly less than the originals.
Hey Rob, I've got a few comics I'm wondering about. The first is the "Famous First Prints" re-issue of the Detective Comics issue #1 of Batman. Near mint, been in my uncle's garage for 20, 30 years or so. Also I have what I think is a first issue of "Amazing Spiderman #129". It's in perfect mint condition, so I'm wondering if it's actually a reissue. And lastly, I have the first few issues of the Spiderman 2099 series. Worth anything?
Got a picture of the amazing spider-man 129?
Hello,
I have a Spiderman Comic book I wanted to ask you about. I'm unsure of the year.
It's Spiderman, Legend of the Arachknight, "Torment", part 1 of 5. It says at the top "1st all-new collector's item issue".
It is also signed by Todd McFarlane.
Hi Leigh,
that's one of the highest selling comic books of all time. That means there are a LOT of them left. So… with the exception of a couple of rare variant editions, they're not worth much. $1-2 maybe.
Hi Rob,
I have a near mint condition Groo the Wanderer #1 signed by the author (with a hand-drawn picture of Groo). It's been stored in the dark, in a mylar sleeve for 20 some years, only been handled 2-3 times. Is this worth anything?
Thanks!
it might be worth a few dollars ($50 or so) if it's truly in 9.8/9.9 condition. It's probably not. The sketch will actually turn a few collectors off, to be honest. Some might be interested.
i was wondering about the priceing on a couple of comics i have. The uncanny x-men annual 7 1983; a legend reborn! x-men 1 1991; fantastic four issues 347, 348, 349; the silver surfer 50th anniversary 50 1991; what if phoenix rose again 33 1991; venom lethal protector 1 1992; venom lethal protector 3 1993; spider man the legend of arachknight (silver) 1 1990. I was wondering if they were worth much at all. Thank u for your time.
probably not worth much at all, no. If you had a scan or photo of the venom book that would clear up one possibility.
i have #24 of the further adventures of indiana jones(published december of 1984) that is still in the plastic and has never been open how much is it worth
fifty cents? A dollar? Something like that.

I will take whatever advice you can give me thanks
Hello, Wondering still about these comics that I have posted to you. I have not heard back from you yet
Thanks
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to look at the list. Nothing stands out but I'd like to take a peek at the price guide to make sure.
OK, thanks
The adventures are probably $5-50 each or so depending on condition. The Action and Superman books are probably in the $25-100 range each.
The westerns are in the $2-5 range each.
Hey, thanks so much for the information.

Nothing really very valuable in that lot. Sorry.
I have a friend who bought Conan the barbarian comics covered in plastic about 20 years ago for about 4 bucks a piece. They are dated back to 1966, and look in good condition.
Not having computer access, he asked me to go on the net and get a round about prices. Any ideas?
Thanx.
I'm not sure what books you might be referring to. Conan the Barbarian wasn't published until the 1970s.
Rob~
I have a box of old comics, I am not sure what is in there and I need to get some sort of idea of their value, what is the easiest way I could go about doing this?? I have A LOT of comics, probably close to 200. So scans would take forever and be a ridiculous process. What can I do? thanks
The quickest way is to figure out what year's they're from. If they're from the 1980s, 1990s or 2000s the chances are they're not worth the effort of cataloging. I mean, they might be, but unless you're looking to put in the effort it's a safe enough bet to just socck them away for a few more years. If they're from the 1970s, they're probably not worth much either, but they could be so cataloging them into a list of title > issue # will got a long way. If they're from the 1960s or earlier, then you definitely want to put a list together.
Barring a list, you could (CAREFULLY) lay them out so I can see a good portion of each of the covers and take a few photos.
Right off the top of my head I think most are 50s-70s, almost positive most are no more recent than the 80s. I was also worried about deterioration. These comics are in a cardboard box stashed away in the house. They aren't in any sort of plastic (at least most of them) so I assume this could significantly affect their value. I do need to get an idea of what is going on though, I have no idea what I have…
Another month under poor storage conditions isn't going to make all that much difference. The long-term storage damage has already been done (if it's been done at all.) I wouldn't worry too much about the storage conditions until you know what you have.
To do that, either send me an email ( rob.react@gmail.com ) with Title (not the story title, that's meaningless to me, the title on the cover) and issue # or, carefully, lay out the issues in groups of 20, take photos and email them to me.
I am working on compiling a list…so far it looks like I have a lot of late 1970s books, but I'm not quite halfway through and have 130…once that list is done, I will send it to you via email. Thanks man
I have a star trek deep space nine issue 1 from 1993 cover price $2.50 signed by the artist Gordon Purcell still in the plastic with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Not worth much. Maybe $1?
i have a 1990 Alf annual #3and i was wondering how much it would be worth
Maybe .25-50?
how much would a well taken care of, first issue of daredevil be worth?
It depends on how nice it is. Anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to probably $75,000 for the best copy in existence.
I have a comic book called "The Rider" from Ajax, a Farrell publication and on the bottom of the cover it says "Also Don't fence him in" I cant seem to find this comic ANYWHERE online so i have no idea the value of the comic. Any ideas
Published between 1957 and 1958, "The Rider" ran for 5 issues. Low book value for #1 is $17, low book value for the rest of the run is $8. NM value is $130 for the #1 and $85 for the rest of the run. Probably not a very popular title, but I can always be surprised.
I have some Walt Disney Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Pluto, Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny comics ranging from 1956 to 1981, and was wondering if they are worth any substantial amount of money today. Some of the older ones are not in the best of shape, but they are not ripped or torn. Also, I have a small collection of Archie, and Horror comics that I was wondering about from around the same time range. Would you have any idea if they would be worth anything at all to a collector ?
That's a pretty broad time frame and a pretty broadd description. IF you had a list of titles and issue #s I could help you out a little more.
War Heroes Featuring "Roadblock to Bastogne" Vol.1 No.17 Jan. 1966 published by Charlton Comics Group.
Probably no more than $1 or $2
Hi Rob, my daughter has a 1976 Justice League America comic book and a 1981 Superman II Movie Review comic book. Both in a good condition. What could they be worth?
my friend just found in a box of old comics given to his son a superman volume 1 1938 edition, I can see doing websearches that it seems very valuable. is there a way to tell if it is a fake?
The quickest way is to measure the dimensions. The most common reprints we see are around 10 x 13 inches. IF it's smaller than that, please email me at rob.react@gmail.com and I'll be able to help out further.

Hi,
What # is it?
I just found three old comic books at my grandmother's house. I'm not sure what the selling price is but I do know they are valuable.
The first is "The Mighty Thor" issue no.354 " Pickin' up the pieces" from April 1985, it is signed by Walter Simonson.
The next one is "Kitty Pryde and Wolverine" issue no. 6 " Honor" from April 1985, it is signed by Allen Milgrom.
The last one I found is an issue of " Power Pack" issue no.10 "Sea Hunt!" from May, 1985. It is signed by Louise Simonson.
I don't know enough to tell you what condition they are in; The covers are still attached and in very good shape, no stains or fading. The actual pages in the comic books are in good condition; the colors are still vibrant, no tears or folds, but the paper itself has aged and has a tiny hint of yellow.
Again, if you could send me an email I can forward you some pictures of them so you can get a more precise opinion on them. Thanks!
The first book is maybe worth .50. The other two are probably .25.
