Value of Vintage Horror Comic Art Pages
What is Vintage Horror Comic Art Worth?
There are plenty of sales of old horror comic books to assist you in figuring out their values.
Vintage horror comic art can be really valuableBut original comic art is unique. Every page is a 1 of 1.
This means the market for that piece only exists when each one changes hands.
Each time a piece is sold, it sets the bar for the value of that (or very similar) pieces of original art.
Any piece of original comic art has value. Covers are worth the most, then splash pages, then interior pages, with sketches and other unpublished pieces being the least desirable.
The more gross the art, the more valuable the original art which created it.
The more action, the grosser the imagery, the better collectors like these pages; and the more they will sell for when you bring them to market.
A lot of sales of vintage horror art have been entire stories. Some of those pages will be better than others, but it's hard to value a single page from a story.

Value of Vintage Horror Cover Art
Black Cat Mystery #50
Cover art by Lee Elias
Record price $840,000
This is the world record for a pre-Code horror comic art sale, and unlikely to be beaten unless one of the other crown jewels of the niche turn up for sale.
The iconic radiation-rotting face makes the actual comic book one of the most valuable horror comics of all time. So it makes sense that this cover art sold for so much.
Walking Dead #51
Cover art by Charlie Adlard
Record price $13,800
Walking Dead comics are a cultural sensation.
First published in 2003, they were made into a hugely successful TV series by AMC. This cover is from 2008.
The Haunt of Fear #15 (#1)
Cover art by Johnny Craig
Record price $264,000
The liquidating of the archives of 1950s publishers like EC Comics and Harvey Comics have resulted in plenty of top-tier vintage horror comic art coming to market.
One of just a few pre-Code horror comic covers to break the $250K barrier.
Treehouse of Horror #2
Cover art by Bill Morrison
Record price $3,000
The Simpsons has been producing a Halloween special Treehouse of Horror episode every season. Bongo Comics produced a comic book in the 1990s.
This shows that modern cover art isn't necessarily very expensive. A relatively affordable piece of comic book history for Simpsons fans.
Tomb of Darkness #14
Cover art by Tom Palmer inking over Gil Kane
Record price $2,400
Gil Kane wasn't attributed for the pencils, but it's in his style and he was working for Marvel at this time.
Tales of Horror #2
Cover art by Myron Fass
Record price $13,800
Toby Press was a small publisher which produced several horror comic titles. This is a really cool cover and it's easy to see why it sold for five figures.
House of Secrets #130
Cover art by Ernie Chan
Record price $3,840
A classic ghost ship cover image from the cover of a 1970s horror comic by DC.
Arken Sword #17
Cover art by Steve Bissette
Record price $3,480
Steve Bissette worked on the Swamp Thing title not long after this cover featuring the character was published.
Value of Splash Page Vintage Horror Art
Supernatural Thrillers #4
Full story by Win Mortimer
Record price $2,900
A lot of average art pages aren't worth much on their own, so they can be found for sale in complete story lots including the splash pages.
This is a classic Marvel horror comics art page of the 1970s.
Many Ghosts of Dr. Graves
Splash page by Steve Ditko
Record price $2,300
Ditko was a master of pencil and ink. His style is uniquely suited to dark, gritty 70s horror comics.
A splash page from an unidentified issue of Dr. Graves.
Monster World #2: The Mummy's Hand
by Joe Orlando and Russ Jones
Record price $1,610
This Golden Age horror comics art was later reprinted in Creepy #17.
Tales from the Crypt #21
Full story by Al Feldstein
Record price $43,200
This classic splash page is just part of the complete 8-page story by master of Golden Age horror, Al Feldstein.
Marvel Spotlight #3
Splash page by Mike Ploog
Record price $38,400
Marvel horror comics enjoyed a surge in interest a couple of years ago, though their values have dropped off lately.
Archie #123
Full story by Harry Lucey and Martin Epp
Record price $1,860
There is a very popular sub-set of Archie comics which are horror themed.
Archie original art is not usually very valuable.
Tales to Astonish #27
Full book original art including splash page by Jack Kirby and others
Record price $65.,000
The first appearance of Hank Pym, aka Ant-Man, in this pre-Hero issue of Tales to Astonish, is a massively important art piece.
It last sold over 20 years ago, and will smash this price whenever it is resold. By the "King" Jack Kirby, with Ditko, Heck and Forgione, it is a sale for the entire interior of this huge key issue. Astonishing!
Stephen King's Creepshow
Contents table by Bernie Wrightson
Record price $3,100
While this piece was not published in a comic book, Wrightson's work is hotly collected.
Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion #8
Splash page by Michael Kaluta
Record price $3,000
A highly-detailed splash page which perfectly showcases DC horror comics of the 1970s.
Beyond the Grave #1
Splash page by Steve Ditko
Record price $3,120
The value of original art is in the amount of detail and the subject matter.
This is a striking but simple splash page by a popular artist.

Value of Interior Page Vintage Horror Art
House of Mystery #182
Page 7 by Alex Toth
Record price $4,800
Right at the end of the 1960s, this Silver Age interior page is a great example of DC horror comics of the era.

Page 5 by Anton Caravana
Record price $5,375
This amazing 1981 interior page is a classic sexy action scene featuring the vampiest of vamps, Vampirella!

Lowest price $
Average price $
Record price $25,000
WHYITSIMPORTANT
Witches Tales #13
7-Page story by Lee Elias
Record price $4,550
A classic Golden Age horror Lee Elias interior story, which sold for a quite reasonable amount.
Eerie #9
Page 5 by Neal Adams
Record price $1,550
This is a great illustration of how much you can expect an interior page, even by a famous artist, to sell for.
Note that the image is mostly dialog, without anything horrific shown.
Tomb of Dracula #5
Page 13 by Gene Colan
Record price $3,120
Here's a great contrast to the previous page.
Colan isn't the name that Adams is, but this is a much better interior page with lots of action.
Web of Horror #1
4 page story by Ralph Reese
Record price $3,825
A little-known artist, but a fun monster-themed vintage horror comic art interior page.
Creepy #1
Page 5 by Angelo Torres
Record price $3,360
A mix of action and dialog from the late 1960s Warren title.
Sandman #10
Page 19 by Mike Dringenberg
Record price $4,680
Sandman is a classic series written by Neil Gaiman in the late 1980s. A cool interior page featuring witches.
Secrets of Haunted House #18: Page 4 by Ruben Yandoc
Record price $84
An unknown artist, a relatively unpopular title and an average subject.
This shows how even an original page of vintage horror comic art can be worth quite a small amount.
Savage Sword of Conan #21: Page 25 by John Buscema
Record price $720
Buscema is a popular artist, the subject is decent and the title is well-known.
But the lack of action probably holds back the value of this piece.
Unpublished Marvel Horror
6 pages by Herbe Trimpe
Record price $600
Trimpe is most famous for his work on Incredible Hulk.
Six pages which sold for about $100 each show that the lack of publication really holds back the value of vintage horror comic art.
