Conan #241 (1991)
Let’s start with the only thing that really matters here: Todd McFarlane did the cover. Does anyone care what happens inside? Not really. It’s McFarlane, it’s Conan, and it’s from the ‘90s. That’s enough to get the collectors interested. Just owning this issue for the cover art alone might be your ticket to bragging rights in the comic community. McFarlane’s iconic work stands the test of time, and this issue reminds you why.
The Bride of Venom #3 (1995)
Here’s one for all the symbiote enthusiasts out there: the first appearance of She-Venom. That’s right, She-Venom. While it may sound like an attempt to milk the symbiote craze of the ’90s (because it was), it’s now a hot key book in the Venom universe. This issue still pops up on the radar of speculators due to its connection to the ever-expanding Venom lore. Plus, who doesn’t love a good ’90s comic with an overly dramatic title?
Flash #113 (1960)
This issue introduces The Trickster, one of Flash’s lesser-known but enduring foes. The first appearance and origin of this quirky villain have kept collectors interested for decades. As silly as the Trickster may seem compared to other Flash villains, this key book from 1960 holds strong in the speculative market due to its Silver Age status. It’s not every day you get to own a villain’s debut from the dawn of the modern comic age.
Pitt #20 (1999)
Published by Full Bleed Comics, this issue flies under the radar, but collectors in the know are aware of its short print run. If you’re looking for something rare that commands attention, Pitt #20 is calling your name. Low print runs always get people talking, and in a world where rarity drives value, this issue is worth keeping an eye on. Sometimes the less obvious books make for the most interesting picks in the aftermarket, and this one fits the bill.
Strange Academy #1 (2020)
A modern key with serious future potential. This issue introduces a team that keeps growing—literally and speculatively. As Marvel continues to expand its universe, Strange Academy and its cast of characters are only gaining steam in the speculation world. A book that’s becoming a cornerstone for modern collectors, this one’s got legs to run with as the story continues to develop. Trust us, it’s one to stash for the future.
