The modern-day superhero was introduced to the world
June, 1938 with Superman and Action Comics #1. After
82 years of continual comic production a once considered
child’s book has evolved into a commoditized collectible
equivalent to gold, oil, or the S&P 500. Learn the ins-and-outs
of the comic book collecting community and how markets
can change so rapidly. When is the right time to buy, sell,
and what factors contribute to these market changes. Learn
what makes two seemingly similar books drastically different
in price, and finally learn how a comic from 2014 can be worth
more than 100 different books from 1950 combined. The comic
market, making every Antique Dealer scratch their head
for the past 20 years.
