X-men was the first big screen production of Marvel comics and had a pretty successful run at the box office with 3 movies under its belt within the last 5 years. But yet The flash (Showcase #4 - #8), Fantasic Four #1 and Hulk #1 are valued higher then X-men #1?? I can understand Spiderman, but not the rest...

X-Men #1 has been much more on the rise over the past 5 or 6 years than some of the other keys mentioned. For instance, ASM #1 in 8.0 condition is only selling for about 20% more than an X-Men #1 in the same condition these days. Four years ago, it was almost double the price!

Hulk #1 and FF #1 and much harder to find in hi grade than X men #1. By far the toughest KEY marvels above VF. No one read Hulks so many got trashed, FF's were a huge success and got read like crazy I assume.

What stumps me is JIM #83.

whats under valued is b&b #28

 

Were any new characters actually introduced in that issue?

 

JLA. Precursor to the FF.

 

That was the first "super team" wasn't it?

 

In the SA yes.

GA had the JSA.

Without BB 28,Mr Goodman never would have suggested Stan rip off DCs team concept and Jack and He would have kept doing the Horror/Suspense 8 pagers they'd been doing.

 

Not only are the other older,but they are much rarer than X-Men #1.

So B&B 28...not the first super team (even in SA), no new characters, not a first issue, series (B&B) ended a long time ago, and still vastly under-valued?

 

Just making sure that I got all of this right wink.gif

There are nearly 3X as many slabbed X-men 1's as Hulk 1's, and nearly 10X as many slabbed X-men 1's as Showcase 4's. While X-men are certainly more popular than Hulk or Flash, relative value is all about supply and demand.
