All-American Comics #16
Net Worth: $430,000
A story of first appearance of magic green lanterns which transformed into a modern and more mysterious form, talking rocks and the man who could only be stopped by a stick! This is the book that is hard to come by in un-restored condition in any grade. Though the Green Lantern’s Debut was highly appreciated and is still found in the bags we can’t remember the last time significant copy of it sought after issue was sold publicly.
Detective Comics #1
Net worth: $405,000
Do not judge a book by its cover, but it’s quite obvious from the cover image that the first issue of Detective Comics falls squarely into the Yellow peril genre. The book defines the adventure of the stereotypical Chinese villains being defeated by heroic Americans. For a change in the story, victims were Chinese rather than the perpetrators. It started to be one of the good series but later it lost the charm and so the readers.
Marvel Comics #1
Net Worth: $367,000
Are you a die heart fan of Hulk and Spider-Man here is the biography enrolling into the comic for the first time. Timely first publication introduced to you the impregnable and ruthless comic heroes including Hulk, Iron man, Spider-Man, Fantastic four, Thor, Captain America, and the genius villains that whose super destructive ideas has kept you always engrossed in the story like Magneto, Doctor Doom, Galactus etc. They are the first one to introduce Carl Burgos’ android superhero –the Human Torch.
Batman #1
Net Worth: $359,000
A fire of revenge gave birth to a Batman! Batman, who he is? How he came to be? Bruce Wayne, why he disappears when Batman arises? These were the questions that were answered in the first issue- The Legend of the Batman. A fabulous comic revealing the reasons and secrets of Batman, has engorged the entire world of kids into the fantasy. Heartwarming in every sense of word, Batman #1 is worth every penny.
More Fun Comics #52
Net Worth: $316,000
The first debut of perhaps the most chilling super-hero Spectre, who may not be one of the most popular super heroes but his introductory issue is still worth $ 3,160,00 as he brought swift retribution to the criminal fraternity.
Flash Comics #1
Net Worth: $289,000
Hard water , actually increases the speed, and if it induces the speed then why is this guy, Flash, the first one to have this done? The debut of Flash, a blindingly fast mystery man alive was one of the many DC comic characters make their first appearances in Flash comics leaving you in the world of speed, including the Black Canary and Hawkman. I can say one good thing about this speedster’s origins, the Whizzer! He got his super speed from mongoose DNA!
Amazing Fantasy #15
Net Worth: $280,000
This is where it all started, The Amazing fantasy is what that brought up a teenage superhero who could to the walls, Spider-Man. It details the hero’s origin. Stan Lee moved on after the story release and the character was forgotten but when the sales figure for the issue came back Lee’s editor demand that the Spider-Man get his own series and there you go, with the tones of volumes of Spider-Man comics and art by Steve Ditko that ties everything together, it works just as well today as it did in 1962.
