HOTTEST COMICS OF THE 21ST CENTURY - PAST 13 YEARS - STRONGEST BOOKS OF THE PAST DECADE

There are 6 comic books that are so hot that investors have actually 10X their money in the past 13 years since the millenium.

Over 1000% incredible profit on these books !

In all 6 cases they are the hottest movers because they simply are considered "undervalued".

The 2nd Superman cover in Action #7 is the single hottest comic on the planet!

Interest is so high in Action #1 that the 2nd and 3rd covers of Superman needed to catch up and have been burning up in value.

The 2 major key Archie comics show growth of almost 12x their value in the past decade.

2 silver age titles lead the pack for the momentum in 1960's marvel key issues.

The Avengers #1 (1963) and Journey Into Mystery #83 (1962) lead the pack due possibly to interest in their movies but also simply being quite cheap in comparison to other key Marvel books from the same time period.

The next hottest titles include more early Batman and Superman appearances and more key silver age 1st appearances.

Amazing Fantasy #15 is the most valuable comic of the silver age but ranks #15 overall for best profiting comics of the last decade

THE GROWTH OF COMIC BOOK COLLECTING AS A TRUE INVESTMENT (1970-2013)

At the beginning of the 1960's comic books didnt necessasrily have any value except cheap reading and throwaway material.

With the boom of the silver age and new interest in superhero comics again people started to want to collect back issues and runs/sets of issues.

The first comic book convention started in 1964 and there were no comic book specialty stores yet.

People started saving comics for the first time to resell. The first Argosy price guide came out in 1965 and showed there was truly high value in golden age key issues. In 1970 Bob Overstreet began publishing an annual comic price guide. Continued growth never seen before has occurred for key issues continually.

The growth and profit of comics since 1970 is overwhelming to comprehend. Early collectors have truly got rich if they sat on their books for long periods of time.

There are 6 comic books that have such growth over 43 years that collectors have actually seen over 1 MILLION PERCENT PROFIT.

Over ONE MILLION PERCENT PROFIT !! Incredible profit on these books ! Unbelievable !

In this 2 decade scenario we see more of the predictable keys being fully established. These have been the true most demanded comics continually for 23 yrs.

Suspense Comics #3 (1944) is clearly the leader of all comics. An incredible almost 2 MILLION PERCENT GROWTH

Who could have ever expected some rare unknown comic book worth $6.00 could within 4 decades be worth $58,000.00 !

Thanks in part due to the coverage of it in Comic Book Marketplace magazine in the 1990's.

Interest in classic covers has boomed in the past decade.

More Fun Comics #52 (1940) 1st appearance of The Spectre has gone up 1.5 MILLION PERCENT in profit.

The 2 major key Archie comics show growth of almost 1.4 MILLION percent profit since the first Overstreet price guide.

Due to being newer books and originally quite cheap in 1970 three key marvel silver age books have made massive jumps all better than Action Comics #1.

This amazing list includes Amazing Fantasy #15, Incredible Hulk #1 and X-Men #1. These 3 1960's marvel heroes have all made better profit than the 1st Superman and 1st Batman appearances due to being originally much cheaper books.

Action Comics #1 has dominated the price guide for 4 decades and still leads all record sale prices and all the media publicity yet it is actually only the 9th best profit issue in the past 43 years.

This long term chart shows best the growth of silver age titles as they have the advantage of most profit growth due to being newer and much cheaper initially.

AGE ! BOOKS SORTED BY OLDEST TO NEW

Out of the 125 comics worth over $20,000.00 we see a few obvious trends with the list

The 11 oldest (1934-1937) all pre-date the golden age hero boom and are innovative early comic books of historical importance and or severe rarity.

35 comics (1938-1939) show the initial golden age heroes dominated by Superman and Batman related early issues.

111 of the 125 comics (1934-1943) dominate 90% of the list from the first decade of comics and the golden age of comics boom during WW2.

Only 4 comics (1944-1959) make the list from this huge 15 year period where superheroes went out of style.

These 4 books show massive gains and interest as they really stand out.

The newest 10 comics are the silver age 1960's issues mostly dominated by Marvel hero 1st appearances.

4 comics from 1963 make the list and even though they are 50 years old they represent the "newest" comics on the list.

WORST INVESTMENTS ? 3 YEAR BAD CHOICES !

All of these comics are worth over $20,000.00 but how and when did they get to that price.

It turns out some of them reached massive heights and then have stalled either to being over priced or not enough interest to hold such high price tags.

Here the books are sorted by worst profit makers and some really are NOT worth spending.

The bright side ! These books at the top of the list will get ignored by most collectors/dealers right now meaning these are the books most likely to sell for way under guide and yet are likely to show increases in the long term as you will see they HAVE profitted long term but just have tanked recently.

There are 8 comics on the list which have either not made a penny in the past 3 years or in fact have even dropped in value and you are losing your hard earned money.

In fact almost all of the top 20 worst profit makers are golden age #1 issues which just seem to be priced too high and collectors are resisting paying the high prices.

WORST INVESTMENTS ? 13 YEAR BAD CHOICES !

All of these comics are worth over $20,000.00 but how and when did they get to that price.

It turns out some of them reached massive heights and then have stalled either to being over priced or not enough interest to hold such high price tags.

Here the books are sorted by worst profit makers and some really are NOT worth spending.

There are no real losers here - over the past decade all 125 comics showed a profit.

However 13 of them showed the weakest growth of only 100% which is not bad just not great compared to all the other titles.

The bright side ! These books at the top of the list will get ignored by most collectors/dealers right now meaning these are the books most likely to sell for under guide and yet are likely to show increases in the long term as you will see they HAVE profited long term but have shown resistance for growth in the past decade.

New York Worlds Fair #1 is the weakest gainer going up only 20% in the past 13 years. That is a lot of money to tie up for almost no gain.

SUMMARY

Comics go up in value due to supply and demand.

Most books go through cycles and go up in value if interest either increases OR if it is considered to be "undervalued" in comparison to other books of the same era or same level of importance. When looking at the above list ask yourself which books seem undervalued? Those are likely the best picks!

MARKET REPORT by Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com at hoknes@hotmail.com

Terry Hoknes has written a series of books on the history of comic books and their rarity and their growth in value for investment.
