Tomb of Dracula #28 (UK price variant).

What we've started doing is moving all the UK books into their own title. So

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tomb-of-dracula/rnyy - The US Version

with a link at the top to the other country's version. In this case, the UK version is linked together

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tomb-of-dracula/pkruhu
Then you report this book as a missing issue on the right side of the page.

How do you define a first appearance?

There are instances where an ad or preview for a comic gains attention. It isn't technically considered their first appearance but it does have importance.

For example,
Savage Dragon #102 has a preview for Invincible.

More Fun Comics #31 has an ad for Action Comics #1

As you can see from the prices, the market views them differently. Is it possible for this to change someday? Sure.

If anyone has trouble with your subscription the first thing to do is to reenter the year. Don't assume that your cc has insufficient funds or that we hate you. smile Hopefully neither is true.

Some systems use 02/23 for February 2023

Our system uses the full year. So 02/2023 for February 2023. 99% of the time, this is the issue if you have trouble with your cc subscription.

How many of you are watching the new Netflix show Locke and Key? Obviously, it was a comic first and now a series. I had not read any of the comics but Bryan here in the office read all of them. He recommended it and wow, it's a great show. You never know what's coming next or what the next key will do. I just posted some of his keys on our Instagram account for you to check out.

Since we've seen people ask for this before, several times, I added in new search terms. Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy
So if someone searches for the title on the cover or the indicia they will find the book.

The Bat symbol made out of pieces of a gun...crazy cool. I have my doubts about Pattinson but I'll give him a chance.

Pattinson has the brooding aspect down and I'm sure he will nail that part of the Dark Knight. I just wonder about his physicality. He seems too thin for the role to me. They will bulk him up with padding so maybe it will be fine.

There are several actors who could pull it off in my mind, Luke Evans has the right build. I've seen a lot of sites say Jake Gyllenhaal but I don't see that.

As I mentioned, I'll give Pattinson a chance to impress.

Biddle, YES!

Claydwilli, Gyllenhaal was insanely ripped in southpaw. Look up his workout routine, 1000 sit-ups, 8 mile run, 1 or 2 hours of boxing, 1 hour of core workout, 1 or 2 more hours of boxing, 1 hour of weightlifting, 1000 more situps.

Amazing Spider-man Volume 1 Edits

Based on my research, issue 9 and 14 are reprints of volume 1. In fact, Stan is holding the issue it reprints for both of them. So I deleted issue 9 in volume 3 and the sketch issue 14 that was incorrectly labeled as another #9. I moved over anyone that had one of those deleted issues into the correct issue.

We had someone who doesn't normally add books do so and some confusion ensued. I've fixed it. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Looking to sell the whole lot of comics listed

Ronbatman

There are some basic things that will help you understand how to sell your collection.
1. The more work you put in, the more money you will get out.
If your time is limited, sell as a lot. If you have more time, then sell individually

2. The more expensive the lot, the fewer the buyers.


3. Key issues are the key to your collection
Regular issues do have value but when compared to a key issue the audience is much less. You have the first appearance of Carnage in your collection, you can expect to get very close to the guide price for that issue. Everyone wants that book. Regular issues with no significance won't be as easy to sell.

Please feel free to ask any additional questions,

Based on the timeline and the books you listed Venom and Amazing Spiderman could have issues that are worth grading. Amazing 300 is almost always worth grading.

What the heck? It feels like someone is being flippant. What they don't know is that we can track them, hunt them down and gut them like a fish. (Grinch reference) I've deleted that.
