What are Comic Book TV Series Key Issues Worth?
The explosion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) set off a chain reaction in the world of streaming TV shows.
The Walking Dead TV series adapted the Image comic book which first hit the newsstands in 2003Between the first Avengers movie in 2012 and today, dozens of comic book movies and TV shows have changed the face of comic book culture.
Special effects have made the impossible come to life.
While most superhero TV series feature DC Comics characters and Marvel Comics superheroes and villains, there are several smash hit independent comic books which have been adapted for television.
The question is, what are the key issues you should look for in old comic collections?
Typically, value in comics relates to their importance due to a first appearance of a major hero or villain, or a critical plot point in the character's development.
TV series and movies adds gasoline to this fire, because millions more people become aware of those characters or plot moments, and seek out the comics featuring them.
If all this is confusing and overwhelming, fear not! You are not alone.
