![]() Watson have separated and dated other people. In recent ASM issues, Peter Parker and Mary J. This issue has a guide value of $20 for a copy in 9.2 condition but it can be purchased for less at comic book conventions because it’s an annual issue. In the comic collecting world, annuals are generally not as popular as regular series issues. The current guide value for a near mint minus copy is $15 but a movie or tv show announcement could drive the value substantially higher.Īmazing Spider-Man Annual #21 (Wedding of Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson) I feel that the Puma, like Big Man and the Enforcers, could become a break-out character in a future MCU movie or tv show. I definitely like this about Puma as he is more like a regular person, neither hero nor a villain. He is definitely an enigmatic character, neither a hero nor a villain. His comic book back story is complex because he has been a villain, a mercenary, and an occasional ally of superheroes. He is introduced as a Native American who is fiercely loyal to his tribe and who can transform into a puma-like creature that has agility and super strength. Like Big Man and the Enforcers, Puma is another under-utilized character in the Spider-Man universe. This issue is also slightly undervalued in comparison to similar first appearance issues such as ASM #25 and 41.Īmazing Spider-Man #256 (first appearance of Puma) This issue has increased in value substantially over the past few years but I feel it can increase more, and a 9.2 copy could soon crack the $1000 mark. I also see renewed interest in Gwen because of the current popularity of Spider-Gwen and if “Gwenpool” remains popular, it would be another reason for future price increases of this issue. This issue also begins one of the greatest Spider-Man story arcs of all time. Harry will go on to become the second Green Goblin, a recurring Spidey nemesis, and Gwen is iconic as Spider-Man’s love interest and her death in issue # 121 solidifies her fame in the series. Its current guide value is $36 for a low grade 2.0 copy, and $900 for a high grade 9.2 copy. This Silver Age issue introduces two important Spider-Man characters in Harry and Gwen and a minor character in Professor Warren. These characters are under-utilized and they could be a hit as modern gangster characters in an MCU movie or tv series.Īmazing Spider-Man #31 (first appearance of Harry Osborne, Gwen Stacy, and Professor Warren) I also like the potential of these villains because the Spidey universe is now available to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). ![]() Another bonus is that this issue also routinely sells for less than guide price on eBay and at conventions. But, it is cheaper than ASM # 9 (first appearance of Electro) and it’s cheaper than comparable issues such as ASM #13 (first appearance of Mysterio). A 9.2 copy fetches $2750 and even a well-worn 2.0 copy is worth about $100. Ok, this early Spidey key is not much of a bargain. Here are four Amazing Spider-Man (ASM) issues that are still considered bargains…Īmazing Spider-Man #10 (first appearance of Big Man and the Enforcers) So rather than spend a large chunk of one’s bank account on only one issue, I propose that we look at the overlooked Amazing Spider-Man books that can still be considered bargains. Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters in the comic book world so it’s no surprise that his early key issues are worth so much money. For example, Amazing Spider-Man #2 (first appearance of the Vulture) now fetches more than $12,000 for a 9.2 copy and Amazing Spider-Man #3 (first appearance of Doctor Octopus) checks in at $9,700 for a 9.2 copy.Ĭlearly, that’s a lot of money to spend on one comic book. That’s a quarter million dollars! Other popular and early Spider-Man keys also saw substantial price gains. Chief among them is Amazing Fantasy #15 (first appearance of Spider-Man), which has surged to $240,000 for a near mint- (9.2) copy. And the current Overstreet Guide has shown another string of strong price jumps among the key Silver Age Marvel comics. The yearly comic collecting cycle seems to culminate in the comic convention circuit during the summer and the release of the new Overstreet Price Guide at around the same time. ![]() This year has been another banner year for the comic book industry. ![]()
