As promised, the Covrprice.com runners-up list. The second half of the Top 20.


#11 MARVEL SUPER-HEROES SECRET WARS #8 | MARVEL | 1984
This Jim Shooter gem is a coveted book by many creators. With art by Mike Zeck, this book started hitting a new high of popularity when the NO WAY HOME movie teased a future black suit Spider-Man. A piece of the symbiote, attached to Sony’s Venom, was left behind in the MCU and ignited a hunt for this issue of secret wars. Aside from being the origin of the black symbiote costume, it is often forgotten that this is also the second appearance of Julia Carpenter, a character that is rumored to be in the MADAME WEB movie. The current FMV for this book’s raw NM copy is $229. We tracked 32 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 95%, with a high sale of $840 for a CGC 9.8.

Last week, the first appearance of Grogu appeared in comics, and this tiny green future Jedi captured the attention of many collectors.

She-Hulk has officially debuted on Disney+! The first episode gives fans a quick origin, some exposition, and a few good teases on future storylines. The last time this issue was on our list was about three weeks ago after a few teasers at SDCC reignited interest in the book. As we keep getting episodes for She-Hulk, we will likely see this book hit our top lists once more! We tracked 24 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 112%, with a high sale of $719.99 for a CGC 9.8. The current raw NM FMV is $132.

#17 MARVEL SUPER-HEROES SECRET WARS #1 | MARVEL | 1984
We’re a few weeks removed since Marvel dropped the slate for their next two phases of the MCU. With one of those titles being SECRET WARS, we’re bound to see increased interest in anything associated as we enter the quiet before the storm. This book competes with the 2015 limited series SECRET WARS #1, as fans debate which storyline the film will follow. While we wait for more information, both Secret Wars books have been steadily increasing in value. We tracked 21 copies, had a 7-day trend of 100%, and had a high sale of $700 for a CGC 9.8 to go with a raw NM FMV of $64.

#18 SPIDER-MAN #1 TODD MCFARLANE REGULAR | MARVEL | 1990
Perhaps one of the most iconic covers in Spider-Man and Todd McFarlane’s time at Marvel, this book is finally picking up speed! This issue started the wealth of homage covers we have today. Additionally, this is the first issue in which McFarlane began to hide Felix the Cat drawings in his artwork. The reason behind this is quite interesting, and McFarlane details this in his blog. We tracked 16 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 132%, with a high sale of $159.99 for a CGC 9.8. However, the FMV value rests at $91, and a raw NM FMV runs for $20.

#19 GHOST RIDER #28 | MARVEL | 1992
Marvel has quietly, and not so quietly, introduced characters who have held a roster spot in the Midnight Suns, who first appeared in this book. Black Knight, Moon Knight, and Blade will soon appear, rounding out the squad for a future adaptation or storyline. Collectors haven’t forgotten this book, with a renewed interest as of late spurned by the Marvel timeline update from SDCC and the Midnight Suns game on the horizon. We tracked 17 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 123%, with a high sale of $141 for a CGC 9.8. A raw NM FMV sells for $32.

#20 SPAWN #1 | IMAGE | 1992
Spawn is one of the most beloved modern comic characters. Driven by nostalgia and McFarlane fans, his first appearance remains the BEST and most consistent aftermarket seller year after year. This week, his reign continues with 20 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 107%, and a high sale of $222 for a CGC 9.8. A raw NM FMV copy of this book sells for $36.
