Buying Opportunities: Marvel Silver Age Comics Which are Under-Valued in 2025
The Marvel Age of Comics spans the era from 1961 to 1970 and beyond.
If you're unsure about the Silver Age, then check out our page on What are Silver Age comics?
We have guides on the most valuable comics from this era.
This page is a little different. These are Marvel Silver Age comic books we feel are under-valued today, and due for a bounce-back.
Should you buy these if you get the opportunity?
That's for you to consider. There are obvious risks with speculating over future values, especially since the pandemic bubble burst.
But if you're holding on to these books and unsure about selling, then the ones on this page are definitely worth retaining.

Marvel Super-Heroes #18
1st Guardians of the Galaxy
Lowest price $50
Average price $250
Record price $19,000
The first appearance of the GOTG was in an obscure title in 1969. The lineup bears no relevance to the MCU movie team, but inspired the series of movies.
Journey into Mystery #85
First Loki
Lowest price $600
Average price $2,000
Record price $84,000
This is the third appearance of Thor, but more importantly, it's the first appearance of Loki. The anti-hero brother of Thor is a huge part of the MCU.
Captain America #117
1st Falcon
Lowest price $90
Average price $300
Recent 9.8 Sale $24,000
Record price $78,000
The first appearance of Falcon (later in the MCU as part of the Avengers) is a huge key issue.
Since he has come and gone in the movies, there has been a cooling off of values. The $78K sale is a pandemic high which will probably not be repeated for years.
Avengers #57
First Vision
Lowest price $75
Average price $400
Record price $37,500
The Vision has been a huge part of the MCU, and his race may not yet be run.
Strange Tales #135
1st HYDRA; 1st Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Lowest price $65
Average price $350
Record price $20,400
HYDRA is a criminal network bent on world domination.
It is a long-time source of some of the worst threats to humanity, and the backdrop to many of the MCU properties.
X-Men #12
First Juggernaut
Lowest price $200
Average price $1,000
Record price $43,700
One of the better-known and loved characters from the mutant universe, Juggernaut, debuts.
Fantastic Four #13
1st Red Ghost;
1st Watcher
Lowest price $100
Average price $800
Record price $22,000
The Red Ghost is a nice side note, but The Watcher is the real draw of this issue. Watcher has expanded to touch many parts of the MCU.
Marvel Super-Heroes #12
1st Captain Marvel
Lowest price $40
Average price $500
Record price $14,500
Captain Marvel is not to be confused with the DC Comics character of the same name from the Golden Age. This character appears in the MCU as a female.
Fantastic Four #62
1st Blastaar
Lowest price $10
Average price $70
Record price $4,800
Blastaar is a Fantastic Four villain from the Negative Zone who can blast kinetic energy from his hands.
Daredevil #7
Daredevil vs Sub-Mariner;
New black and red costume
Lowest price $80
Average price $550
Record price $36,000
When you think of Daredevil, you think of his red and black costume.
This is the first issue featuring that new look, and doubles with a fight against Sub-Mariner.

Incredible Hulk #2
1st green Hulk
Lowest price $1,000
Average price $2,500
Record price $47,000
Altered to his now-normal green skin to make his panels stand out more, Hulk #2 is a classic Marvel Silver Age comic books key issue. It's a pretty tough book to find in higher grade.
Iron Man #1
1st in solo Iron Man comic books series
Lowest price $175
Average price $600
Record price $106,000 (CGC 9.9);
$52,800 (CGC 9.8)
Weirdly, Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1 (see below) was published just before this #1 Iron Man comic book. This series eventually led to the introduction of Thanos (see below) amongst others.
Sub-Mariner #1 (1968)
1st solo comic; FF appearance
Lowest price $60
Average price $450
Record price $9,300
The Sub-Mariner is going to be a big part of the MCU in the next phase. His appearances have taken off in value in recent years after a long period of being mostly overlooked.
Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1
Pre-dates Iron Man #1
Lowest price $40
Average price $300
Record price $40,000 (CGC 9.9);
$20,300 (CGC 9.8)
If you think this is a strange combination, then you're not alone (especially when you see Iron Man #54). This hit the newsstands before Iron Man #1.
Tales of Suspense #40
2nd Iron Man, 1st gold armor
Lowest price $150
Average price $600
Record price $35,000
One issue later, rather like the Hulk turning green, Iron Man became gold!
His armor would remain unchanged for an incredible 7 more issues.

First Sentinels
First Bolivar Trask
Lowest price $150
Average price $600
Record price $45,000
The first appearance of the Sentinels, a group of villainous robots.
Amazing Spider-Man #20
First Scorpion
Lowest price $300
Average price $1,400
Record price $65,500
Exposed to radiation and chemically bonded to scorpion genes, the Scorpion has similar horrific powers to Spider-Man himself.
Heavily tipped to appear in the MCU, the Scorpion is just one of the seemingly endless new villains introduced in the early years of Amazing Spider Man comics.
Journey into Mystery #103
Lowest price $50
Average price $250
Record price $13,000
This is the first appearance of both the Executor and the Enchantress.
Tales of Suspense #94
1st MODOK
Lowest price $15
Average price $100
Record price $12,600
MODOK is a mutagenics creation, designed originally to do good, who takes over A.I.M. after becoming evil. He debuted in the MCU in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
