The Most Valuable Comic Books In The World Today

Most valuable Comic Books of all time

The most valuable comic books? Yes, those colourfully illustrated superhero books could be worth a fortune.

These days movies based on comic books have become the highest box-office earners. This new interest in the characters has sparked higher comic book sales and increased the prices of the rare/collectable issues.

For example, with no more than 100 copies left in the world, a near-mint copy of Action Comics No.1 (the first comic book to feature Superman) now sells for a whopping $3.2 million.

Of course, there are more things to consider before you cash in, as the quality of the comic and if there are damages to any of the pages, etc.

These are the 10 most valuable comic books.

most valuable comic books

The final 1960s issue, Amazing Fantasy #15, is the title that introduced the popular superhero character Spider-Man. With No Way Home becoming one of the highest-grossing comic book movies of all time, it makes sense that this is one of the most valuable comic books of all time!

    This is also why Ron Jeremy had done other movies by Stan Lee over the years (look it up if you don’t believe) as they became good friends and Stan used to joke with him and my dad at parties about living vicariously through Ron (though Stan never participated in anything as he always bragged about being married happily to the best looking gal of them all)

    I have an underground comic called RJ Man – a mild mannered bible salesman by day and pornstar by night. It is done in the likeness of Ron Jeremy and illustrated by Stan Lee. Story was it was a promo gig for one of Ron’s movies and my father who was a “seedy” publicist at the time or “smut peddler” acquired it at a launch party (where the Jermline was conceived – a bunch of ladies snorting “booger sugar” off Ron’s banana). Anyways Stan Lee was paid at the time about 3000 cash to do this and have it printed after hours to avoid suspicion. anyways I can submit the issue to whoever’s interested in making an offer. Also have pics of Ron, Stan and my father together with the issue and some other candid photos of the party. It might not be worth anything but it is some nifty memorabilia I think.
