181 will always be the more desired book of the 2. 180 will gain ground and close the gap of price difference, but it will always be the lower priced book of the 2.
Picked up a WWT93 in a newsstand 6.0 may have overpaid slightly but I really wanted it as I’m loving the show! Also picked up a raw WWT101 for like $9 + shipping from Canada! Still waiting for it but excited! Thank you for mentioning Dr.Phosphorus’s first appearance!
Another example is Hulk (vol2) #1 - Cover only appearance of Red Hulk, while #2 is the actual 1st appearance of Red Hulk. Yet #1 is more valuable because of the cover?
Isn't Star Spangled War Stories 101 the 1st appearance of G.I. Robot? Weird war tales is a different model of the G.I. Robot as he went through a few incarnations
@daleleroux9476 Star Spangled war stories also has G.I. Robot on the cover and came out first in the 60's. Not sure if people are unaware of it or just go for weird war tales because it also states 1st appearance of G.I. Robot(Jake.)
I was going through my Weird War collection and found that I actually have two copies of #93. I put the lesser of the two - a Newsstand in FN/VFN up for sale. Reasonable price too..
Even before the show was announced I couldn't find that Weird War issue in a decent grade. I've been trying to find a good copy ever since seeing CC on the Batman Brave and the Bold cartoon. Found a lousy copy at my LCS and sold it for a quick buck.
I have Weird War tales #93 and 101 ( G I Robot) and also Amazing Sider-Man #129 from my youth. All are yet to be graded and I’m hesitant to encapsulate them. Should I keep them as is or send them away for grading? I have yet to sell anything from my collection but may move the WWT comics. What will give me the most bang for my buck?
I’m going to sell a key book. I tend to get it graded. If it’s not going to be sold any time in a year I’ll just keep it raw in my personal collection. Ideally in a perfect situation you would have your Comic pressed and graded so that it’s easier for you to sell and you maximize its value. Assuming that your Comic is in high grade and worth grading.
You need to hold onto comics until inflation slows down. New comics are still creeping up to $5 and $6. I wouldn't liquidate until $6 is the normal price for a new comic.
Cover appearance over first actual appearance doesn't work when it comes to Wonder Woman, All Star 8 goes for more grade for grade than Sensation 1 or Wonder Woman 1.
Hulk 340 Wolverine cover was my prized collectible as a 90’s kid. And ASM 299 is first venom. Here is proof of my original Hulk 340: m.ua-cam.com/video/ZqybdPtG6v0/v-deo.html
I’m so happy I have the top 2 comics that are on this list. I have Incredible Hulk signed by Bob Harris not Myfarland or Peter David 🙂↔️but I still love this book.
That's exactly my view. He's such a dull character, and his popularity is a sad reflection on comic collecting taste. I have a feeling that this animated show they're raving about is also full of gun violence. Yawn.
94 X-men is only what???? Isn’t that the first new x men??? That’s should be a lot more. None of this makes sense to me, except supply and em and maybe.
@easy_nator_gamer8498 a cameo appearance is a brief appearance by someone famous like Stan Lee in Marvel movies. That's not the same thing as the very first appearance of a new character.
@mythirdlife101 Famous people/actors have appeared in cameos before they were famous too. Even if it's Wolverine's 1st cameo appearance, it's still a cameo appearance. Making his 1st full appearance in HULK 181. In 180 it's just a brief appearance at the end of the issue, how is that not a cameo? It's like saying the ads they ran prior to 181 count as a 2nd appearance just because his picture is on them.
@Mike_oliver1313 Except it isn't. A cameo is a brief appearance by someone famous so a first appearance can't be a cameo since that character isn't famous yet.
I love the show. Gunn doesn’t miss
181 will always be the more desired book of the 2. 180 will gain ground and close the gap of price difference, but it will always be the lower priced book of the 2.
Weird Wars are undervalued. It’s like the Gunsmoke of comics. So many artist have worked in Weird War.
So many great artists.
Three McFarlane cover made the top 10 this week. Just shows he is truly a goat.
As soon as I saw the Creature Commandos preview I went and grabbed WWT93 for $70. Great show so far! Happy New Year guys!!
Happy New Years to you as well.
I Guess I’m the reason ASM 316 & 300, Hulk 340 & Secret Wars 8 are all on this list for the show. Oh well 🤷🏻♂️
Hulk 180 all the way!
Hell ya!! 1st cameo!!!
Agree. It's the first time anyone sees Wolverine. Multiple chat bubbles, full body, says his name!

I'm shocked that book hasn't been on the list lately
Hulk 180-181 is a both/and situation. Together, they make Wolverine’s first appearance.
You need to add #182 as well.
I love your show!
316 is the best cover oat!!!!
Isn't Star Spangled War Stories 101 the 1st appearance of G.I. Robot? Weird war tales is a different model of the G.I. Robot as he went through a few incarnations
Weird War Tales #6 features a robot soldier on the cover. Does this have a significance for G I Robot’s value?
@daleleroux9476 Star Spangled war stories also has G.I. Robot on the cover and came out first in the 60's. Not sure if people are unaware of it or just go for weird war tales because it also states 1st appearance of G.I. Robot(Jake.)

Great find.
Where is Ryan, is he locked up in your basement
Happy New Year 🎊😊
Thank you and same to you.
How do i get a campbell hat lol
Numbers also matter... #1, #300. But, the market is so inconsistent, it's all moot.
Here's more of a movie premiere takes on quite a few issues the story arc of over the edge with punisher which would put them into the MCU
They basically did Weasels story like Rockets. Wonder? 🤔
Even before the show was announced I couldn't find that Weird War issue in a decent grade. I've been trying to find a good copy ever since seeing CC on the Batman Brave and the Bold cartoon. Found a lousy copy at my LCS and sold it for a quick buck.
It wasn't the easiest to find even in the 90s. Creature Commandos have always had a cult following.
War books always just seem to be notoriously difficult to find in high grade.
So Geiger is a rip-off of Dr Phosphorous and Junkyard Joe is a rip-off of GI Robot... dammmmmn!!
Been waiting for this all day

Cameo meaning
Appearance of a well known/famous person.
Happy New Year all
Really appreciate it. Same to you.
Think of a cameo appearance from an actor in a movie or show. It's brief and it's considered a cameo. Nuff said
How do we know Storm will be wielding Mjolnir and not Stormcaster, the weapon that Loki created for her?
70s DC War is amazing! Hope we get Haunted Tank
That would be so cool to see.
Iconic cover outsells first appearance most of the time where I live, my friends go after the covers.
You need to hold onto comics until inflation slows down. New comics are still creeping up to $5 and $6. I wouldn't liquidate until $6 is the normal price for a new comic.
Happy new years boys
Thanks Robert, same to you.
Great report
I bought all them creature commando books years ago in dollar bins cus I thought they were cool.
You have a great eye for comics.
Happy New Year!
How is ASM 300 hot!? It’s lost $6,000 in value since May 2021… I’d say that’s pretty ice cold lol
Cover appearance over first actual appearance doesn't work when it comes to Wonder Woman, All Star 8 goes for more grade for grade than Sensation 1 or Wonder Woman 1.
Great video as usual.
I have 5 out of 10👍👍
No love for Wendigo 😢

Duders !! 🎉 Happy 2025.. Every week my transformation from nerd to super say in NERD is almost complete.. 😂🏝🕉
I have 4 out of 10, all I bought years ago when the hype started.
When dc is on top...things are back. Come on july.
Your show is a break from reality tho cheers
I’m so happy I have the top 2 comics that are on this list. I have Incredible Hulk signed by Bob Harris not Myfarland or Peter David 🙂↔️but I still love this book.
I have a 9.4 with David's sig. U interested? Lol
Wish I could afford a higher grad copy of ASM 316, but my Gd copy will just have to do. Same with Incredible Hulk 340.
9/10
Dunno why first Punisher is such a big deal. He's not a good guy, doesn't have superpowers... just a violent gun-nut. Oh, wait....
That's exactly my view. He's such a dull character, and his popularity is a sad reflection on comic collecting taste. I have a feeling that this animated show they're raving about is also full of gun violence. Yawn.
*Correction UXM # 266- Gambits 2nd appearance!
266 was supposed to come out 1st, printing problems caused the annual to release before 266 so story chronologically 266 is the 1st app
@adamleitman8116 yep, and because of that hiccup, annual 14 is the 1st appearance by default regardless of chronological order.
@@DukeCityExplorer dah, herpdy derp
🤘🤘
94 X-men is only what???? Isn’t that the first new x men??? That’s should be a lot more. None of this makes sense to me, except supply and em and maybe.
Weird war tales? I’ve never heard of it and it’s $600? What the actual f?
There's a lot you haven't heard of that's worth much more than $600, I suspect. I mean, there must be millions upon millions of comics out there.
You guys know better. It's not a "cameo". It's literally the first appearance but yes 181 has a better cover.
It’s literally a cameo
Think of a cameo appearance from an actor on screen. it's brief and considered a cameo
@easy_nator_gamer8498 a cameo appearance is a brief appearance by someone famous like Stan Lee in Marvel movies. That's not the same thing as the very first appearance of a new character.

Just curious are you 2 partners?
I have HULK #340
60%
Sent you a picture of my Hulk #340 Tom my friend
Why does your mics sound robotic
The Creature Commandos glaze is crazy honestly... More of the same Suicide Squad/Doom Patrol tropes... BORING!
I used to collect but all the satanic symbols turned me off
Why not collect Christian comics then? There's quite a few of them. They're awful, but I'm sure Satan isn't prominently figured, except as a villain.
dumbest comment of 2024 🎉
