If Don Heck’s title splash to Tales of Suspense #39 just shattered the all-time public record at $3.875 million, what are the remaining surviving Silver Age Marvel original art pages actually worth?
Following our census of verified original art survivors across ten foundational Silver Age titles, we are tackling one of the ultimate holy grail questions in comic collecting: ranking the Top 10 most valuable surviving Silver Age Marvel interior pages that we can reasonably verify still exist.
Using documented physical provenance, vintage 1990s auction catalogs from Sotheby's and Christie’s, and public sales records, we audit the crowning achievements of Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck, and Joe Sinnott. From the earliest surviving appearance of an Avenger in Tales to Astonish #27 to the first time Earth's Mightiest Heroes assembled on paper in The Avengers #1, we break down what is on the page, why it survived, and where it ranks among the most valuable cultural artifacts of the 20th century.
