About ComicsPriceGuide.com:

ComicsPriceGuide.com began in 1995 as a tribute to the memory of Tim Beck, who died of leukemia. Tim was a close friend of founder Bryan Neely. Initially the website was named Marvel World and featured data and related information exclusively focused on Marvel Comics.

Over the past 13 years, with the help of numerous collectors, fans, and comic aficionados, the site now known as ComicsPriceGuide.com has emerged as the online comic book community that it is today. The website includes hundreds of publishers and thousands of individual comic book titles. The site has integrated a wide variety of technology since being founded and was recently named by Apple as their featured web application of the day for the iPhone on February 25, 2008.

The company’s use of technology and its ability to preserve real sales data is ideally suited to meet the challenges of the growing and ever changing comic book marketplace.

About InvestComics.com:

InvestComics started as a magazine in 2006, but the first issue wasn’t released until June of 2007. The magazine was distributed as a free comic book Investment Guide throughout local comic shops in South Florida. It was also a giveaway on eBay for any winner bid to receive with their order.

Although the InvestComics web site was on line in 2005, it wasn’t until 2007 the web site became the main focal point and the magazine ceased. InvestComics wanted to start reaching a broader audience and began to rapidly expand. InvestComics became the “Entertainment” Investment Guide due to the influx of covering many areas in the industry and not just focusing on the Investment aspect. The expansion includes 15 different article sections and a staff of 11 Writers/Contributors and Technicians.

Today, InvestComics now averages more than 500,000 hits with 4,000 Unique visits per month and has continually grown since its main inception in 2007.  The web site is featured on numerous comic book affiliates (Comics Price Guide, Project Fanboy, Fan Film Follies, Heske Horror, Mark McKenna, Rob Jones, plus many more) and InvestComics will continue to expand in many markets in the near future.
