Help pricing 1st app of Scream. 0

[Timely]

I hadn’t thought of selling it, but I got an inquiry so I thought I’d get some feedback.

Venom: Lethal Protectors #4. 1st appearance of Scream. This is the 2nd page she appears on in the book and the 1st page where she fights Spider-Man.

I know 1st appearance pages are super expensive and in demand and Scream is also really hot right now with her own title.

Let me know what you think about it guys. Thank you!

Hmmm, page looks familiar 😂

I need a better understanding of the "first appearance" thing. Scream appears on the cover of issue #4; are cover appearances a first or not so much because the character's on a cover? Before this page, she makes a dynamic appearance (a three-quarter splash) which would seem to serve as her first in-story appearance. So, which counts as the "first"? The cover or the splash?

Either way, this wouldn't seem to be the first appearance unless collectors view all pages in the issue as a first.

Yes, any page from this issue with Scream on it is a first appearance page. The page before this one is her “birth page” as some have coined that terminology, it being the very first page in the story she appears on.

Thanks, I was unaware of this. Is a "birth" page more of less desirable than a later appearance in the same story? In this case, is the cover (where Scream is first seen but not "birthed" -- such weird terminology) more or less sought after than the other pages?

[Timely]

Probably depends on the content of those pages. I would think a boring “birth page” is worth less than a great battle page that happens later in the issue.

Nobody wants to answer your question so I’ll take a stab. Lots of great action and the 1st appearance.

$3500.00

That’s my gut I didn’t surf for comps. 
 

Very nice page. That’s what I would want in a first appearance page. Action.

Venom: LP pages are really heating up. Ok Venom action pages seem to be $5-10k now. No Venom on this one, but I'm sure 1st app spec makes up for it.
