Great list! In 91 i was in the 4th grade when i started collecting comics. I stopped buying comics when i graduated HS in 99. So i was the epidimy of the 90s collector. I am now getting back into collecting and love that i can easily find affordable copies of these great nastalgic 90s hits.
You are in the right place if you are looking for affordable 90s comics. Overall, 90s books are cheaper because for the longest time, collectors have written off the 90s as an era of garbage. Was there garbage in the 90s? Sure, but there was a lot of great stuff too. Collectors are starting to get a clue though and 90s books a slowly rising. Anything before the 90s is getting increasingly more expensive so people are starting to move their attention to the 90s. Happy collecting! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think in terms of cultural impact, Sandman #1 should be mentioned. It launched Neil Gaiman, it made Vertigo a thing, it broadened the target audience of comic books in a big way.
I agree totally! I love Sandman! One of my favourite series. I think the book was mentioned in the video if I’m not mistaken lol thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey man I really appreciate you going over these books as well as the prices on them as being a new comic book collector looking into these books and seeing what prices you should look out for really helps thanks again for all the advice
Hey there! Welcome to the hobby! It is a lot of fun, but it is addictive and can get expensive lol it is my pleasure to review comics and prices. No problem at all! Good luck on the hunt!
@@Dante19883 wow! It was Jim Lee's Image comic...it was like mixing the best of X-Men with the best of Justice League. i loved it so much. When he left, it got weird, though. I also love the little cameos in the series (see my video review of WildCats #8 i think)
The reason XMen #1 sold so many copies is due to the number#1 issue coming in five different covers and they were sold by American Entertainment and in a five comic group at a discount. They had it where a kid could attract all the books and make one long poster.
I love this Video! The way you present all these "worthless" Comics. In fact: All these book are pure ART and MEMOIRES IN PAPER from the past in my eyes. Awesome Video!!!! #comics #1990s
The batman adventures 12( 1ST HARLEY QUIN) is worth a lot more and will be going up as movie is coming. And new mutants 98 you want the news stand version, There are a quite a few worth more.
The main reason, XForce#1 , sold so many copies is because they where offered in a 5 pack from distributors. They all came poly bagged with a different card.
I'm really enjoying your videos, man. I actually like Rob Liefeld's earlier stuff, like his New Mutants and X-Force run. His art definitely has its own style and look. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I think I might have to do a video on Rob Liefeld. I'm with you on your Rob Liefeld opinion. His art style definitely has an appealing look in an angry sort of way lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great vid! Punisher War Zone #1 was a great book. I still have my copy. It was John Romita Jr. at his finest. The story really was very good too. I dont remember what happened to my copy of Youngblood #1 but I remember the art being really good and the action very over the top. I don't remember a single thing about the story. I never followed the series after that. I sold my Spawn #1 a few years ago. I wish I hadn't! It was also a great book. Beautiful art, very creative panel work. Mesmerizing even. Very interesting story too. This was also the first appearance of Sam and Twitch. This book showed Mcfarlane could write well and even do subplots. I still have my X-Force #1 with trading cards. I thinknits a decent book. Liefeld really goes all out in my opinion. Good artwork. The story makes for a good first issue and transition from New Mutants, reintroducing Cable and the gang but also introducing new members like Feral and Shatterstar. X-Men #1 was a very spectacular book with amazing art and story. It really does deserve the #1 spot. I still have my gatefold copy but sold my individual copies years ago. For the price I got for them, I really should have kept them.
Fantastic list. I have all but the XO comics. One of my favorite stories, which might go along with one of your other videos, is Thanos Quest 1&2 (1990 I believe). But again, great job, great video.
I like that you included the Valiant title...love to see somebody do a lecture exclusively on Valiant, including the relaunch (like Mark Waid doing X-O MANOWAR, and the interesting but not very impactful TRINITY ANGELS and DOCTOR TOMORROW)
Ha ha! Wow! That’s probably one of the reasons why X-Force 1 sold 5 million copies and is the 2nd best selling single issue of a comic lol Thanks for sharing!
Admittedly the only "gimmick covers" I liked from the 90's was the crime covers! I do have mixed feelings about, Liefeld too. I don't hate his work and I give him credit for creating one of the most iconic characters in Deadpool. I love Deadpool! I believe the Youngblood series could have been better if they got a more seasoned comic book writer. But I most definitely have to get my hands on a couple of copies of New Mutants #98!
I agree with you totally! I respect the guy for creating Deadpool. Younglood could have been better with a better writer.. the concept of younglood is actually kind of cool. Thanks for commenting!
It was gold bk it came in abundance in a bag! With DP’s rookie card. And his iconic second showing. If you have them sealed. And in good condition. Then u honestly love collecting. Mcfarlane is the new king of comics. Nice Torment black
Though these are NOT anywhere near top 10 culturally significant 90's comics, the ones I have in my collection that give me hardcore nostalgia are TMNT comics, Beavis And Butthead comics, SpaceGhost comics, Ren & Stimpy Comics, Spawn comics, Clerks comics, Bill & Ted's comics, and my Spawn Batman crossover comic lol. Anyway, great vid, perfect list, and I really appreciate that this was done from a significance standpoint rather than a money grubbing speculator's stand point. It's funny, the most successful comics in history are generally the most worthless in terms of investment value. Yeah, a lot of the 90's stuff is pretty weak looking back on it now but the work of McFarlane and Liefeld and others like them are what got me BACK into comics at that time BECAUSE they were doing something new and different. Again, Spawn may not stand the test of time but it certainly altered its course and, for that, I'll always love my Spawn #1 even if it's worth pennies.
Hi there! Great comment! Thanks for taking the time to write it.. yes, I never do any of my videos from a speculator’s perspective. I’m a fan of the medium and I don’t care much about value. I rarely talk about value in my videos lol glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! Funny enough, I have that Batman/Spawn cross over... I haven’t read it yet though lol
Yes indeed! I know gimmick covers are quite simply what they state to be: "gimmicks" but there is something about them that I love to this day. lol It's interesting to see some of the gimmicks that come out even today. The ones I can think of in recent years are the "Death of the Family" joker diet-cut cover and the Death of Wolverine holographic covers :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Not gonna read all the comments to see if this was brought up yet but XForce 1 was packed in a Pollybag with different trading cards. I think there was 8 in total but could be remembering that wrong.
Characters like Punisher and Ghost Rider were fairly big in the early 90s. Punisher War Zone I believe was not crazy important in itself, heck by the mid 90’s I picked it up for a dollar. I think number 1s we’re still important back then as the market was transitioning from a run/story style collectors market to the sports card inspired rookie card (first appearances) market we see today. First appearances were still important and collected, but mostly as part of stories or if the character had that huge cultural impact. Legend has it that a lot of dealers of cards transitioned to comics after the sports card market collapse and influenced how people collect even today.
What little funds I had for comics in the 1990s went for the indy/small press books that I loved like Cerebus, Love & Rockets, and Flaming Carrot, and I only occasionally had money enough left over to pick up a superhero comic. Consequently, I missed most of the books in your list, and appreciate the info about what's worth seeking out. But I can back you up about X-Men #1 being a dime a dozen, because I literally bought mint copies of all five covers for ten cents apiece perhaps a year after its debut. A dealer at a local con I attended had a long box full of them. And I had forgotten the Death Of Superman event until you mentioned it, but I do remember it was huge at the time. In fact, my mother saw some hype about it on TV and stopped by a comic shop I used to frequent and bought a copy for me, which she surprised me with one weekend when I was home from college. Quite amazing, considering all those years of my adolescence that she'd spent telling me "You've got enough damn funny books already!" LOL. I still have it in storage, and I have to say that I never opened it... I guess I was still too much of a fanboy at the time. Good tip about the toxic ploybag, I will have to unseal it when I get my hands on my comics again and hope it hasn't turned brown (or to dust) inside the Black Plastic Bag Of Death. Spawn #1... I paid less than a dollar for a NM copy from a seller on eBay last year, so apparently there are still plenty enough of those to go around. Thanks for the cool video, Dante.
Awesome, very interesting story! I really feel that the general view on comic books changed a little in the 90s as they became more for adults and due to the fact that the media was covering how much they were going up in value. I love that story about your mom getting you a copy of the death of Superman, after telling you you had too many funny books lol that is a cool story though, and even if it’s not worth too much, it’s a nice keepsake to have now. Yes, I would recommend taking it out of the poly bag at some post since they are toxic. So cool that you got X-Men 1 and Spawn for so cheap! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks once again for watching and commenting!
Awesome video, my favorite comic book series of the 1990s is the Carnage series, from when he first appears and just Carnage in general, because he's my favorite Spider-Man villain. :)
If X-O Manowar does get a movie? chances are the value of the back issues will go up. If it does well at the box office? Then chances are it go up and stay up. I love the rock star artists of the 90's and I miss that today. Hopefully I will meet, Todd McFarlane one of these days. He's always been one of my favorites.
A lot of people forget is that the X FORCE #1 (along with some of the characters) were first mentioned in a TV commercial for blue jeans featuring Rob Liefeld and directed by film maker SPIKE LEE!
I was an older comics reader who really didn't follow trends. I just bought whatever I liked and that's how I've been since I first started reading comics in 1973. From my perspective, every era has its fair share of diamonds and garbage! You just have to know what to look for when searching for back issues! Of course, which you consider precious or trash depends on one's personal taste! MY FAVORITE 90s COMICS: 1.HATE by PETER BAGGE 2.THE INCREDIBLE HULK by PETER DAVID & various artists 3.WONDER WOMAN by GEORGE PEREZ & various artists 4.THE MAXX by SAM KIETH 5.SANDMAN by NEIL GAIMAN & various artists 6.SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN- by J.M.DeMATTEIS & various artists 7.SPAWN-TODD McFARLANE 8.SAVAGE DRAGON\FREAK FORCE by ERIK LARSEN 9.SWAMP THING- NANCY COLLINS & various artists 10.BATMAN-DOUG MOENCH\KELLY JONES 11.OMAHA,THE CAT DANCER- by REED WALLER & KATE WORLEY 12. THE LEGEND OF KAMUI-SAMPEI SHIRATO-This is a title that was reprinted in America, otherwise I would have ranked it MUCH higher!
I have all 10 copies and currently have about 12 copies of XForce 1 LOL. 11 still in poly bags, yepppppppppppp. Thanks for the video but definitely thought ASM 361 should have been in there...oh and I still have several copies of Death of Superman in the White and Black poly bags.
There are only a handful of key books worth any money from the 90's cause they printed so many copies like X-men#1 is the most printed comic book ever so even a signed one isn't worth much.
EBAY is full of non-comic book fans/sellers/collectors..Basically it's just people trying to get rid of boxes and boxes of magazines that do not know the true value of them. That's why you see them for so cheap! LOL That PUNISHER #1 issue from 1992 ink/penciling by John Romita Jr is worth over $400 if it's a (9.8, 9.9) because it's a KEY ISSUE, and its also part of JRJR's Top 10 key issues that he ever did! Actually if you AUCTION a "10.0" Gem Mint condition, you can get more than $500 for it, maybe more, depending HOW BAD the Punisher Loving Collector is willing to BID for it. Usually that's how comic books end up selling for 2.1 million or 3 million dollars! Hahahaha Anyways, NICE assortment of 90's comic books you have, Brother! I like it 👍👍🔥
I was think of something more along the lines of The Ambush Bug Nothin' Special, followed by the 1-2 punch of Formerly Known As the Justice League, and I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League. Classics...One and all!
Hey bro, You need to get BATMAN #497 Newstand Edition (dated July 13, 1993) Make sure the little circle Marvel eblem in top left corner is BLUE. Make sure the BATMAN Logo is WHITE. They came in yellow, red, blue and WHITE. IF you have a 9.8 it's worth over $300... a "10.0" can fetch more than "500 !! Technically, it all depends on HOW BAD the BATMAN fan Collector wants it. And that will determine HOW MUCH you actually get for it at the end of the day. 9:32 The one you have is not the "key issue" version, but it's still a great book! BATMAN #666 is also a KEY ISSUE bcuz it's the REMATCH FIGHT between Batman & BANE!! That one is also worth lots of money to BATMAN fan Collectors! Plus 666 is the Mark of the Beast, so that also adds FUN to the cover and Collectors think it's funny or pretty cool ..Whatever floats your boat man! Haha LEARN the game, Brother... know your Key Issues...which ones are worth more, etc etc. NEWSTAND EDITION, Newstand Variants are usually the best ones that are worth the most for MARVEL, DC or IMAGE and others more... Good luck, Cheers! 🍺🍺
Awesome list. I would probably take X-O manowar out and add either Age of Apocalypse Alpha or Infinity Gauntlet 1 or Infinity War 1. But all great books, 90's were the best! Image was born. Spawn still my all time favorite.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I think I would agree... I really love Infinity Gauntlet. Definitely one of the best from that time. I still actually have yet to read Infinity War. I'm glad you like 90s comics so much! I know comic collectors usually undermine the 90s, but in my opinion, if you get beyond that the books are not worth a whole lot, in comparison to silver or bronze age keys, you are left with some awesome art and stories.
lost my husband- unknowingly found a well preserved collection of ? 2000+Comics ranging mostly from the 70's up to ? 1998 .... Full runs mostly individually wrapped boarded baged/ stored in comic short-boxes. Probably 20-25% are these three Batman ( Robyn too) Superman Spiderman ( cat woman supergirl too) (Some nice Venoms too, holographics etc..). Most of my comics are runs... I may have ALL the X0's ( w/ multiple copies of certain ? Key's), Harbinger as well. Found a full set of bevis and butthead And those types of iconish titles, etc... Spawns- i have those you hold and many more. I have them! I am rambling!!! I have 12 of the Batman 497!!! Even found that red foiled Death mate (2) oh my...never knew he had this interest in comics!
I’m sorry for the loss of your husband. I’m glad you found his comics though. It’s definitely something you can hang on to as a memory. Great past time reading them for sure!
If we are using the cultural impact during the 90s as criteria, then I'd argue the NM98. Deadpool never made much of cultural impact until the films came out. He was only popular in the comics in a niche sort of way. NM87 and Cable were a much much bigger deal at the time. NM98 usually makes the list because of hindsight, not because of importance during the timeframe. NM98 wasn’t culturally relevant until the 2000’s. so not sure why it’s on the list, nor why you kept being up monetary value in a list of cultural value.
That is a good point that you make.. in hindsight, I should have at least included NM 87. I wasn’t aware that Deadpool was more of a niche character at the time ( I was 3 when he came out).. I was just basing that on the fact that Deadpool follow up titles came out in the 90s and the fact that NM 98 has been hyped about over the last 15 or so years. Thanks for that suggestion
Great list even though I disagree with the Punisher entry. Some other comics I'd nominate: Daredevil Man Without Fear 1, X-Men 25, Marvels 1, Maus (though the original works were done mostly in the 80s)
Decent list. IMO, BATMAN ADVENTURES #12 should've cracked your top three. C'mon man. The first appearance of Harley Quinn! BA#12 fetches higher ebay prices than NM #98. I'm certain BA#12's print run was lower. But wasn't Harley Quinn's earliest "non-comic" appearance in a coloring book? Or at least, that's what I thought 🤔
Yup he did lol... I am actually remaking this video and will be posting within the next few weeks. The remake will have 20 comics on it to match the other top 20 comics lists that are on the channel. Thanks for checking it out!
I agree in regards to the criteria outlined at the beginning of the video. Spider-Man 300 had had a larger cultural impact in the comic world still and even more so at the time. However much more recently, Deadpool has had a larger impact culturally (non-comic) due to the success of the films.
My best friend got nm 98 for 35 cents at a flea market when Deadpool wasn’t that popular now it’s signed by liefeld and niceza and the crown jewel of my collection
Amazing!! That is an incredible story. I love when I hear from people who have made amazing finds like that! Thanks for watching and sharing your story :)
Just as a FYI, if there's a book you want to read but can't afford or are a collector and don't want to touch like the new mutant's look for the true believers version if them.
There is so many Death of Superman books, it's mind boggling how the price is going up. I have too many of them. The only "expensive" one is MoS 18 because of the first full appearance of doomsday. it's not really that high of price it's just that there thousands of them out there. Spawns prices is ridiculous given the millions of books out there.
Did any publishers use the silver metallic and die cut covers in regular books before 1990? Seems like they because e commonplace throughout the decade.
Before 1990s, no, at least to my knowledge. All the die cut covers, metallic and holographics came as a result of merging comic books companies with toy and sports card companies. As far as I know... Marvel started the trend when Ron Perelman bought Marvel in the early 90s as well as toys and sports card companies. He started gimmicks like holographic covers and including trading cards in comics to make them more appealing for the collector base. Sales improved dramatically for a few years, but this strategy ultimately failed. By 1997 marvel had to declare bankruptcy. They were saved only by getting rid of Perelman and starting to make movies.
I was a big fan of 'Nth Man.' 1990's Big fan. I could not wait for the next issue to come out. It was good up until issue 8 to 10. Batman stories was always great reads. Favorite artist was Todd McFarland Spider Man Jim Lee X Man, Jae Lee, Stephen Platt, Marc Silvestri and I forgot his name at the moment ... artist he died of cancer drew dark heavy metal style ... heavy dark inks... anything those guys drew had to see it. Coming up Punisher was my favorite then Romita Jr. took over I quit Punisher.. hated the look.. then Batman became my favorite character of all time. Spawn was good up until #23 then I couldn't take the story anymore. Of all the comics I read Batman still the best read. My older brother who is the collector I remembered he loved the Infinity Gauntlet series.
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story, really enjoyed reading it. It’s so nice to hear from another fan of Nth Man. I love Nth man, I think it is so underrated, but it is awesome and has awesome work by Larry Hama! Yes, I love the 90s when it comes to comics. Some of my favourite stories are from the 90s. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love YOUR Videos. Answer Me This Question?!? Due You Think The New, Mutants #98 & #87 Whould One Day Reach The Hulk #181 Prices When Years Go By Time Will Only Tell But Four A New, Mutants#98 in A Very Fine+ 8.5 It's About $300.00 .& WITH A 9.0 - it's Over the $300.00 Now. 🤔 What U Think?!?
I dunno if it’ll hit 181 levels but I definitely think that it will continue to rise in price. The prices on it are ridiculous even now. It definitely is one of the most coveted key issues of the modern age. Thanks for watching! Glad you like the videos 😊
Half the books on this list read like the most value less crap of the 90s. The death of Superman? McFarlanes Spiderman number one? What a load of crap crap crap.
Your opinions sucks... but are awesome... but sucks... but are awesome. My God! I still am torn apart when it comes to 90's comics! I bought the Age of Apocalypse Omnibus, and feel really dumb. But satisfied at the same time. Heh.
Lol ha ha I know. 90s comics can be hit or miss. I am currently read Xcutioners Song run from the 90s and I think the same as you. Sucks, but awesome. Sucks because they focus way too much on fight scenes but awesome because I really do love the art lol
I’m actually thinking of remaking this video in the new year. I will for sure be sure to include Venom Lethal Protector if that that is the book you are talking about. I love that series! Thanks for the suggestion!
You missed the easy #1 most influential comic of the 90's Harbinger #1. You didn't even have it on your list which is disappointing. Harbinger set Valiant up to dominate with their story telling. That in turn has influenced every other comic that has come after the comic crash. Marvel and DC were forced to improve their stories. Also anyone who collected comics in the 90's probably wanted a copy of Harbinger #1 but many couldn't get it because of the low print run 40K copies. Good video though I remember all of those books coming out. I was also the smart kid who thought buying 30 copies of X-Force #1 and Spawn #1 was going to make me rich. Lol.
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion! Actually, funny you mention Harbinger 1. I was really young in the early 90s so I don’t remember the book, but I have been hearing a lot about it lately. I have been looking for a copy, but they are very expensive (probably due to the low print run). Hopefully I can get my hand on a copy in the future to see how great it really is! Your comment about spawn and x-force gave me a chuckle so thanks for that. I love hearing from people who lives the speculator bubble. For me, it is the most fascinating period of comic book history! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Harbinger was great- i went crazy back then trying to find this book... i have most of the run. i dont remember if i found that #1 issue. i gotta check my stash
I have to agree there, I remember selling my Harbinger #1 for $150 just before the bottom fell out of valiants and the price of it started to plummet, probably around '93 or '94. I had preordered 10 from my local comic shop, and when it came in he limited them to 1 per customer, and had them at $10 each. I was pissed. Since I had ordered it I felt I should get at least 2 or 3, I did manage to get it for cover from them and I came very close to canceling all my preorders with them at the time I was so angry. I still have a first print of the trade paperback, so can still read it. Valiants idea of only printing to what was ordered was kind of nice for those that got in early. My favorite of all of them to this day remains Archer and Armstrong and I still have my run of those. They are the only Valiants I have never offered for sale.
Ah yes! I missed that one! I think 361 makes an appearance in one of my others vids, but yes, I agree definitely, asm 361 is one of the greats from the 90s. Thanks!
Can't help noticing your other top books of other decades had 20, this has 10. Telling of the 90's. With few exceptions this is the decade that ruined comics for old school fans. Everything bad started here. The chrome, the variant covers and although comics have always tried to take advantage of what's hot right now by imitation, Marvel took the cake, The 90's for marvel were Wolverine, Punisher Ghost rider, more spiderman titles and X-everything. Lot of classic heroes, especially the FF were all but kicked to the curb for the five or so titles that just kept beating like a dead horse. Also as far as value..I'm fairly certain Spiderman 300, especially with the recent movie has more value than NM 98...but maybe its a back and forth kind of thing.
Hey there! Great to hear from you again! Yes, I did this video in my earlier RUclips days and that is why it is a top 10. I actually plan to remake it as a Top 20 very soon. Yes, I know a lot of people who didn’t like the 90s. I personally like many comics from the 90s but I agree there was a lot of crap published as well. Thanks for tuning in! Look forward to chatting more! You may be right about ASM 300, especially at this particular point in time.
The price on ebay is no the same are price guide....people think that web site like amazon and ebay are the price...but just is a normal people put they own price ...
Very true! I find a lot of people nowadays are using eBay as the authority rather than the price guide. Heck the price guide can’t even be considered accurate! It’s a guide and creating by the subjective opinions of comics dealers all over the US. Thanks for commenting!
a.8 million copy’s is really terrible of a stat for guys like us ... it’s low hanging fruit ,,, u have no color,, predictable B. You led with a valiant? And it wasn’t Turok no.1? C. You audio makes us feel like we’re inside the liberty bell and had DayQuil for breakfast beforehand.. ..... other than that , good vid! U asked for comment ...... Sorri for bein kinda negitive .. good day sir
It looks like you just picked number 1s and first appearances and just say they made cultural significance but don’t say how. Todd McFarlane ain’t no pin-up artist. Make your point and quit rambling.
Great list! In 91 i was in the 4th grade when i started collecting comics. I stopped buying comics when i graduated HS in 99. So i was the epidimy of the 90s collector. I am now getting back into collecting and love that i can easily find affordable copies of these great nastalgic 90s hits.
You are in the right place if you are looking for affordable 90s comics. Overall, 90s books are cheaper because for the longest time, collectors have written off the 90s as an era of garbage. Was there garbage in the 90s? Sure, but there was a lot of great stuff too. Collectors are starting to get a clue though and 90s books a slowly rising. Anything before the 90s is getting increasingly more expensive so people are starting to move their attention to the 90s. Happy collecting! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think in terms of cultural impact, Sandman #1 should be mentioned. It launched Neil Gaiman, it made Vertigo a thing, it broadened the target audience of comic books in a big way.
I agree totally! I love Sandman! One of my favourite series. I think the book was mentioned in the video if I’m not mistaken lol thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Dante19883 Actually it turns out it was released January 1989. But still, the book was most popular in the 90s.
Matthew Weflen oh wow, I didn’t know that! Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
Hey man I really appreciate you going over these books as well as the prices on them as being a new comic book collector looking into these books and seeing what prices you should look out for really helps thanks again for all the advice
Hey there! Welcome to the hobby! It is a lot of fun, but it is addictive and can get expensive lol it is my pleasure to review comics and prices. No problem at all! Good luck on the hunt!
#1 = WildCATs...loved that series. I was out of comics and that series pulled me back in.
I actually haven’t read that but will check it out!
@@Dante19883 wow! It was Jim Lee's Image comic...it was like mixing the best of X-Men with the best of Justice League. i loved it so much. When he left, it got weird, though. I also love the little cameos in the series (see my video review of WildCats #8 i think)
Voodoo was bangin😉
The reason XMen #1 sold so many copies is due to the number#1 issue coming in five different covers and they were sold by American Entertainment and in a five comic group at a discount. They had it where a kid could attract all the books and make one long poster.
I love this Video! The way you present all these "worthless" Comics. In fact: All these book are pure ART and MEMOIRES IN PAPER from the past in my eyes. Awesome Video!!!! #comics #1990s
Thank you Daniel! Always a pleasure to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
The batman adventures 12( 1ST HARLEY QUIN) is worth a lot more and will be going up as movie is coming. And new mutants 98 you want the news stand version, There are a quite a few worth more.
Obviously a Marvel fan leaving out Batman Adventures 12 is inexcusable. Harley Quinn is bigger than Spawn, and at least as big as Deadpool.
Great list! I got my copy of Punisher War Zone #1 23 years ago for 25 cents. It's a really good read and it helped start my comic collection.
The main reason, XForce#1 , sold so many copies is because they where offered in a 5 pack from distributors. They all came poly bagged with a different card.
I'm really enjoying your videos, man. I actually like Rob Liefeld's earlier stuff, like his New Mutants and X-Force run. His art definitely has its own style and look. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I think I might have to do a video on Rob Liefeld. I'm with you on your Rob Liefeld opinion. His art style definitely has an appealing look in an angry sort of way lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great vid! Punisher War Zone #1 was a great book. I still have my copy. It was John Romita Jr. at his finest. The story really was very good too. I dont remember what happened to my copy of Youngblood #1 but I remember the art being really good and the action very over the top. I don't remember a single thing about the story. I never followed the series after that. I sold my Spawn #1 a few years ago. I wish I hadn't! It was also a great book. Beautiful art, very creative panel work. Mesmerizing even. Very interesting story too. This was also the first appearance of Sam and Twitch. This book showed Mcfarlane could write well and even do subplots. I still have my X-Force #1 with trading cards. I thinknits a decent book. Liefeld really goes all out in my opinion. Good artwork. The story makes for a good first issue and transition from New Mutants, reintroducing Cable and the gang but also introducing new members like Feral and Shatterstar. X-Men #1 was a very spectacular book with amazing art and story. It really does deserve the #1 spot. I still have my gatefold copy but sold my individual copies years ago. For the price I got for them, I really should have kept them.
Fantastic list. I have all but the XO comics. One of my favorite stories, which might go along with one of your other videos, is Thanos Quest 1&2 (1990 I believe). But again, great job, great video.
Thanks so much for watching! And thanks again for reminding me to do this lol. I have not read Thanos Quest, I will definitely have to pick it up.
I like that you included the Valiant title...love to see somebody do a lecture exclusively on Valiant, including the relaunch (like Mark Waid doing X-O MANOWAR, and the interesting but not very impactful TRINITY ANGELS and DOCTOR TOMORROW)
I had to buy several X-Force 1 as a kid to get all the cards that came in them. Everyone wanted the Cable card.
Ha ha! Wow! That’s probably one of the reasons why X-Force 1 sold 5 million copies and is the 2nd best selling single issue of a comic lol Thanks for sharing!
Clint DeMuro
I got the group card
I got three copies 2 Deadpool 1 Cable.
"Shadowhawk",
man ...what about him.. so what he only broke the backs of bad guys ... Lol 😁
He's so underrated ...
Admittedly the only "gimmick covers" I liked from the 90's was the crime covers! I do have mixed feelings about, Liefeld too. I don't hate his work and I give him credit for creating one of the most iconic characters in Deadpool. I love Deadpool! I believe the Youngblood series could have been better if they got a more seasoned comic book writer. But I most definitely have to get my hands on a couple of copies of New Mutants #98!
I agree with you totally! I respect the guy for creating Deadpool. Younglood could have been better with a better writer.. the concept of younglood is actually kind of cool. Thanks for commenting!
It was gold bk it came in abundance in a bag! With DP’s rookie card. And his iconic second showing. If you have them sealed. And in good condition. Then u honestly love collecting. Mcfarlane is the new king of comics. Nice Torment black
Though these are NOT anywhere near top 10 culturally significant 90's comics, the ones I have in my collection that give me hardcore nostalgia are TMNT comics, Beavis And Butthead comics, SpaceGhost comics, Ren & Stimpy Comics, Spawn comics, Clerks comics, Bill & Ted's comics, and my Spawn Batman crossover comic lol.
Anyway, great vid, perfect list, and I really appreciate that this was done from a significance standpoint rather than a money grubbing speculator's stand point. It's funny, the most successful comics in history are generally the most worthless in terms of investment value. Yeah, a lot of the 90's stuff is pretty weak looking back on it now but the work of McFarlane and Liefeld and others like them are what got me BACK into comics at that time BECAUSE they were doing something new and different. Again, Spawn may not stand the test of time but it certainly altered its course and, for that, I'll always love my Spawn #1 even if it's worth pennies.
Hi there! Great comment! Thanks for taking the time to write it.. yes, I never do any of my videos from a speculator’s perspective. I’m a fan of the medium and I don’t care much about value. I rarely talk about value in my videos lol glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! Funny enough, I have that Batman/Spawn cross over... I haven’t read it yet though lol
Those gimmick covers oh man the nostalgia
Yes indeed! I know gimmick covers are quite simply what they state to be: "gimmicks" but there is something about them that I love to this day. lol It's interesting to see some of the gimmicks that come out even today. The ones I can think of in recent years are the "Death of the Family" joker diet-cut cover and the Death of Wolverine holographic covers :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dante Benedict I have spidermans last adventure with the gimmick cover and I love them
Glad to hear you love the gimmick covers too! They may not be worth too much, but like I always say, they sure are nice to look at!
great video - just curious what model watch is that ? looks like a seiko diver ? thanks
You are absolutely right my friend. It’s a Seiko SkX007. Love that watch! 😊 thanks for commenting!
Not gonna read all the comments to see if this was brought up yet but XForce 1 was packed in a Pollybag with different trading cards. I think there was 8 in total but could be remembering that wrong.
Nope you’re right! I remember everyone buying multiple copies to get the Deadpool card lol
Characters like Punisher and Ghost Rider were fairly big in the early 90s.
Punisher War Zone I believe was not crazy important in itself, heck by the mid 90’s I picked it up for a dollar.
I think number 1s we’re still important back then as the market was transitioning from a run/story style collectors market to the sports card inspired rookie card (first appearances) market we see today. First appearances were still important and collected, but mostly as part of stories or if the character had that huge cultural impact.
Legend has it that a lot of dealers of cards transitioned to comics after the sports card market collapse and influenced how people collect even today.
What little funds I had for comics in the 1990s went for the indy/small press books that I loved like Cerebus, Love & Rockets, and Flaming Carrot, and I only occasionally had money enough left over to pick up a superhero comic. Consequently, I missed most of the books in your list, and appreciate the info about what's worth seeking out. But I can back you up about X-Men #1 being a dime a dozen, because I literally bought mint copies of all five covers for ten cents apiece perhaps a year after its debut. A dealer at a local con I attended had a long box full of them. And I had forgotten the Death Of Superman event until you mentioned it, but I do remember it was huge at the time. In fact, my mother saw some hype about it on TV and stopped by a comic shop I used to frequent and bought a copy for me, which she surprised me with one weekend when I was home from college. Quite amazing, considering all those years of my adolescence that she'd spent telling me "You've got enough damn funny books already!" LOL. I still have it in storage, and I have to say that I never opened it... I guess I was still too much of a fanboy at the time. Good tip about the toxic ploybag, I will have to unseal it when I get my hands on my comics again and hope it hasn't turned brown (or to dust) inside the Black Plastic Bag Of Death. Spawn #1... I paid less than a dollar for a NM copy from a seller on eBay last year, so apparently there are still plenty enough of those to go around. Thanks for the cool video, Dante.
Awesome, very interesting story! I really feel that the general view on comic books changed a little in the 90s as they became more for adults and due to the fact that the media was covering how much they were going up in value. I love that story about your mom getting you a copy of the death of Superman, after telling you you had too many funny books lol that is a cool story though, and even if it’s not worth too much, it’s a nice keepsake to have now. Yes, I would recommend taking it out of the poly bag at some post since they are toxic. So cool that you got X-Men 1 and Spawn for so cheap! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks once again for watching and commenting!
Awesome video, my favorite comic book series of the 1990s is the Carnage series, from when he first appears and just Carnage in general, because he's my favorite Spider-Man villain. :)
Yes! I love 90s carnage too!
Cool! :)
Rob's work is a lot of fun.
I couldn't agree more. There is a certain charm about it, and it totally fits well with the Gen.X attitudes so prevalent at the time!
If X-O Manowar does get a movie? chances are the value of the back issues will go up. If it does well at the box office? Then chances are it go up and stay up. I love the rock star artists of the 90's and I miss that today. Hopefully I will meet, Todd McFarlane one of these days. He's always been one of my favorites.
Yes, only time will tell. I miss that era of rock stardom as well. Don’t think it will likely happen again.
Do you even know what the function of a comma is?
Yer smart...fer ah 90s kid...keep up the awesome work.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the positive feedback. I try ha ha
Great list bro and good video.
Thank you sir! I really appreciate your positive feedback. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
A lot of people forget is that the X FORCE #1 (along with some of the characters) were first mentioned in a TV commercial for blue jeans featuring Rob Liefeld and directed by film maker SPIKE LEE!
I didn’t know that! Very cool!
@@Dante19883 , It was a Levi 501 blues commercial.
same color they painted my apt about 4 years ago lol
Top ten comic books ever sold in the early 90s.
Dope review
I was an older comics reader who really didn't follow trends. I just bought whatever I liked and that's how I've been since I first started reading comics in 1973. From my perspective, every era has its fair share of diamonds and garbage! You just have to know what to look for when searching for back issues! Of course, which you consider precious or trash depends on one's personal taste!
MY FAVORITE 90s COMICS:
1.HATE by PETER BAGGE
2.THE INCREDIBLE HULK by PETER DAVID & various artists
3.WONDER WOMAN by GEORGE PEREZ & various artists
4.THE MAXX by SAM KIETH
5.SANDMAN by NEIL GAIMAN & various artists
6.SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN- by J.M.DeMATTEIS & various artists
7.SPAWN-TODD McFARLANE
8.SAVAGE DRAGON\FREAK FORCE by ERIK LARSEN
9.SWAMP THING- NANCY COLLINS & various artists
10.BATMAN-DOUG MOENCH\KELLY JONES
11.OMAHA,THE CAT DANCER- by REED WALLER & KATE WORLEY
12. THE LEGEND OF KAMUI-SAMPEI SHIRATO-This is a title that was reprinted in America, otherwise I would have ranked it MUCH higher!
I have all 10 copies and currently have about 12 copies of XForce 1 LOL. 11 still in poly bags, yepppppppppppp. Thanks for the video but definitely thought ASM 361 should have been in there...oh and I still have several copies of Death of Superman in the White and Black poly bags.
I agree.. I remade this video a while ago! Check it out, I believe I added those books
Great haul, Greetings from Sicily.
Grazie Fabio! Saluti dal Canada!
There are only a handful of key books worth any money from the 90's cause they printed so many copies like X-men#1 is the most printed comic book ever so even a signed one isn't worth much.
EBAY is full of non-comic book fans/sellers/collectors..Basically it's just people trying to get rid of boxes and boxes of magazines that do not know the true value of them. That's why you see them for so cheap! LOL
That PUNISHER #1 issue from 1992 ink/penciling by John Romita Jr is worth over $400 if it's a (9.8, 9.9) because it's a KEY ISSUE, and its also part of JRJR's Top 10 key issues that he ever did!
Actually if you AUCTION a "10.0" Gem Mint condition, you can get more than $500 for it, maybe more, depending HOW BAD the Punisher Loving Collector is willing to BID for it.
Usually that's how comic books end up selling for 2.1 million or 3 million dollars! Hahahaha
Anyways, NICE assortment of 90's comic books you have, Brother! I like it 👍👍🔥
Thanks for tuning in!
I was think of something more along the lines of The Ambush Bug Nothin' Special, followed by the 1-2 punch of Formerly Known As the Justice League, and I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League. Classics...One and all!
Hey bro, You need to get BATMAN #497 Newstand Edition (dated July 13, 1993) Make sure the little circle Marvel eblem in top left corner is BLUE. Make sure the BATMAN Logo is WHITE. They came in yellow, red, blue and WHITE.
IF you have a 9.8 it's worth over $300... a "10.0" can fetch more than "500 !! Technically, it all depends on HOW BAD the BATMAN fan Collector wants it. And that will determine HOW MUCH you actually get for it at the end of the day.
9:32 The one you have is not the "key issue" version, but it's still a great book!
BATMAN #666 is also a KEY ISSUE bcuz it's the REMATCH FIGHT between Batman & BANE!! That one is also worth lots of money to BATMAN fan Collectors!
Plus 666 is the Mark of the Beast, so that also adds FUN to the cover and Collectors think it's funny or pretty cool ..Whatever floats your boat man! Haha
LEARN the game, Brother... know your Key Issues...which ones are worth more, etc etc.
NEWSTAND EDITION, Newstand Variants are usually the best ones that are worth the most for MARVEL, DC or IMAGE and others more... Good luck, Cheers! 🍺🍺
Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I didn’t know the difference between those Batman issues. Good to know!
The top money comic is the original Evil Ernie four part series worth alot of MONEY.
Thanks for the info, I didn’t know that!
Awesome list. I would probably take X-O manowar out and add either Age of Apocalypse Alpha or Infinity Gauntlet 1 or Infinity War 1. But all great books, 90's were the best! Image was born. Spawn still my all time favorite.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I think I would agree... I really love Infinity Gauntlet. Definitely one of the best from that time. I still actually have yet to read Infinity War. I'm glad you like 90s comics so much! I know comic collectors usually undermine the 90s, but in my opinion, if you get beyond that the books are not worth a whole lot, in comparison to silver or bronze age keys, you are left with some awesome art and stories.
lost my husband- unknowingly found a well preserved collection of ? 2000+Comics ranging mostly from the 70's up to ? 1998 ....
Full runs mostly individually wrapped boarded baged/ stored in comic short-boxes.
Probably 20-25% are these three
Batman ( Robyn too)
Superman
Spiderman
( cat woman supergirl too)
(Some nice Venoms too, holographics etc..).
Most of my comics are runs... I may have ALL the X0's ( w/ multiple copies of certain ? Key's), Harbinger as well.
Found a full set of bevis and butthead
And those types of iconish titles, etc... Spawns- i have those you hold and many more.
I have them! I am rambling!!!
I have 12 of the Batman 497!!! Even found that red foiled Death mate (2) oh my...never knew he had this interest in comics!
I’m sorry for the loss of your husband. I’m glad you found his comics though. It’s definitely something you can hang on to as a memory. Great past time reading them for sure!
If we are using the cultural impact during the 90s as criteria, then I'd argue the NM98. Deadpool never made much of cultural impact until the films came out. He was only popular in the comics in a niche sort of way. NM87 and Cable were a much much bigger deal at the time.
NM98 usually makes the list because of hindsight, not because of importance during the timeframe. NM98 wasn’t culturally relevant until the 2000’s. so not sure why it’s on the list, nor why you kept being up monetary value in a list of cultural value.
That is a good point that you make.. in hindsight, I should have at least included NM 87. I wasn’t aware that Deadpool was more of a niche character at the time ( I was 3 when he came out).. I was just basing that on the fact that Deadpool follow up titles came out in the 90s and the fact that NM 98 has been hyped about over the last 15 or so years. Thanks for that suggestion
Great list even though I disagree with the Punisher entry. Some other comics I'd nominate: Daredevil Man Without Fear 1, X-Men 25, Marvels 1, Maus (though the original works were done mostly in the 80s)
Oh yeah!! Those are great ones for sure! Thank, and I’m glad you enjoyed the list! Thanks for watching and commenting!
U forgot to mention how much was the young blood 1st addition by image??
Amazing Spiderman 361! First Carnage apprearence
Love that book!
Decent list. IMO, BATMAN ADVENTURES #12 should've cracked your top three. C'mon man. The first appearance of Harley Quinn!
BA#12 fetches higher ebay prices than NM #98. I'm certain BA#12's print run was lower. But wasn't Harley Quinn's earliest "non-comic" appearance in a coloring book? Or at least, that's what I thought 🤔
Yup definitely another important issue!
Came here for Todd McFarlane. 3 Rob Liefeld books? LOL! He really did made an impact in the 90's.
Yup he did lol... I am actually remaking this video and will be posting within the next few weeks. The remake will have 20 comics on it to match the other top 20 comics lists that are on the channel. Thanks for checking it out!
The amazing Spider-Man 300
Is bigger then New mutants 98
I agree in regards to the criteria outlined at the beginning of the video. Spider-Man 300 had had a larger cultural impact in the comic world still and even more so at the time. However much more recently, Deadpool has had a larger impact culturally (non-comic) due to the success of the films.
My best friend got nm 98 for 35 cents at a flea market when Deadpool wasn’t that popular now it’s signed by liefeld and niceza and the crown jewel of my collection
Amazing!! That is an incredible story. I love when I hear from people who have made amazing finds like that! Thanks for watching and sharing your story :)
Just saw ur video, great job, remember Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man?
Yup, love that series! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just as a FYI, if there's a book you want to read but can't afford or are a collector and don't want to touch like the new mutant's look for the true believers version if them.
Yes I have just recently discovered those editions. Thanks for the suggestions!
There is so many Death of Superman books, it's mind boggling how the price is going up. I have too many of them. The only "expensive" one is MoS 18 because of the first full appearance of doomsday. it's not really that high of price it's just that there thousands of them out there.
Spawns prices is ridiculous given the millions of books out there.
Yup, I agree!
Great choice! I predicted the top 5 as I would have chosen them, too.
Thanks! I appreciate it!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did any publishers use the silver metallic and die cut covers in regular books before 1990? Seems like they because e commonplace throughout the decade.
Before 1990s, no, at least to my knowledge. All the die cut covers, metallic and holographics came as a result of merging comic books companies with toy and sports card companies. As far as I know... Marvel started the trend when Ron Perelman bought Marvel in the early 90s as well as toys and sports card companies. He started gimmicks like holographic covers and including trading cards in comics to make them more appealing for the collector base. Sales improved dramatically for a few years, but this strategy ultimately failed. By 1997 marvel had to declare bankruptcy. They were saved only by getting rid of Perelman and starting to make movies.
Infinity war, infinity gauntlet and infinity crusade
All great ones!! I agree!
I still like the speciality covers very fun for me.
Oh yeah, they are totally fun for sure no matter if they are super collectible or not
I don't care what anyone says....DARKHAWK 1-50 was it for me....i don't consider #51 an on part of the story
Oh yes! Great run for sure!
I have the youngblood comic book it's in great condition,i like it's story result
Yes, Youngblood is a classic from the 90s. Glad you liked the story! Thanks for watching!
I was a big fan of 'Nth Man.' 1990's Big fan. I could not wait for the next issue to come out. It was good up until issue 8 to 10. Batman stories was always great reads. Favorite artist was Todd McFarland Spider Man Jim Lee X Man, Jae Lee, Stephen Platt, Marc Silvestri and I forgot his name at the moment ... artist he died of cancer drew dark heavy metal style ... heavy dark inks... anything those guys drew had to see it. Coming up Punisher was my favorite then Romita Jr. took over I quit Punisher.. hated the look.. then Batman became my favorite character of all time. Spawn was good up until #23 then I couldn't take the story anymore. Of all the comics I read Batman still the best read. My older brother who is the collector I remembered he loved the Infinity Gauntlet series.
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story, really enjoyed reading it. It’s so nice to hear from another fan of Nth Man. I love Nth man, I think it is so underrated, but it is awesome and has awesome work by Larry Hama! Yes, I love the 90s when it comes to comics. Some of my favourite stories are from the 90s. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have all 4 X men no.1 covers.
I love those covers! Jim Lee’s art is awesome!!
Love YOUR Videos. Answer Me This Question?!? Due You Think The New, Mutants #98 & #87 Whould One Day Reach The Hulk #181 Prices When Years Go By Time Will Only Tell But Four A New, Mutants#98 in A Very Fine+ 8.5 It's About $300.00 .& WITH A 9.0 - it's Over the $300.00 Now. 🤔 What U Think?!?
I dunno if it’ll hit 181 levels but I definitely think that it will continue to rise in price. The prices on it are ridiculous even now. It definitely is one of the most coveted key issues of the modern age. Thanks for watching! Glad you like the videos 😊
Spider-Man 361?
Half the books on this list read like the most value less crap of the 90s. The death of Superman? McFarlanes Spiderman number one? What a load of crap crap crap.
Todd mcfarlane is the most popular rock star artist no doubt about that . But he may not be the best at that point of time.
Yup for sure! Thanks for watching!
Your opinions sucks... but are awesome... but sucks... but are awesome.
My God! I still am torn apart when it comes to 90's comics!
I bought the Age of Apocalypse Omnibus, and feel really dumb. But satisfied at the same time. Heh.
Lol ha ha I know. 90s comics can be hit or miss. I am currently read Xcutioners Song run from the 90s and I think the same as you. Sucks, but awesome. Sucks because they focus way too much on fight scenes but awesome because I really do love the art lol
No spider-man #300 or #361???? I question ur list homie lol but I agree with most of ur list tho
Spidey 300 came out in 1987, that’s why it wasn’t on the list. I agree with 361 though. I remade and updated this video a while back.
Wow i have all but 3 for those.
Yup! These are some really popular 90s books! Thanks for watching and commenting!
he forgot adventure of Spidey .
LEGEND
What about Youngblood #0 ??
Oh yes, good one as well!
Thanos Quest
we waiting for Rob Liefeld video i know it is gonna be epic one
Thanks! Stay tuned, I'm working on some videos I should have up within the next few weeks! :)
No Venom?
I’m actually thinking of remaking this video in the new year. I will for sure be sure to include Venom Lethal Protector if that that is the book you are talking about. I love that series! Thanks for the suggestion!
Shadowhawk #1
Yes that is a good one! Thanks!
You missed the easy #1 most influential comic of the 90's Harbinger #1. You didn't even have it on your list which is disappointing. Harbinger set Valiant up to dominate with their story telling. That in turn has influenced every other comic that has come after the comic crash. Marvel and DC were forced to improve their stories. Also anyone who collected comics in the 90's probably wanted a copy of Harbinger #1 but many couldn't get it because of the low print run 40K copies. Good video though I remember all of those books coming out. I was also the smart kid who thought buying 30 copies of X-Force #1 and Spawn #1 was going to make me rich. Lol.
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion! Actually, funny you mention Harbinger 1. I was really young in the early 90s so I don’t remember the book, but I have been hearing a lot about it lately. I have been looking for a copy, but they are very expensive (probably due to the low print run). Hopefully I can get my hand on a copy in the future to see how great it really is! Your comment about spawn and x-force gave me a chuckle so thanks for that. I love hearing from people who lives the speculator bubble. For me,
it is the most fascinating period of comic book history! Thanks for watching and commenting!
What you should do is grab the Harbinger trade paperback that is poly bagged with the Blue #0 reprint. You should be able to pick up a copy for $3-5.
I will do that! Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers!
Harbinger was great- i went crazy back then trying to find this book... i have most of the run. i dont remember if i found that #1 issue.
i gotta check my stash
I have to agree there, I remember selling my Harbinger #1 for $150 just before the bottom fell out of valiants and the price of it started to plummet, probably around '93 or '94. I had preordered 10 from my local comic shop, and when it came in he limited them to 1 per customer, and had them at $10 each. I was pissed. Since I had ordered it I felt I should get at least 2 or 3, I did manage to get it for cover from them and I came very close to canceling all my preorders with them at the time I was so angry. I still have a first print of the trade paperback, so can still read it. Valiants idea of only printing to what was ordered was kind of nice for those that got in early. My favorite of all of them to this day remains Archer and Armstrong and I still have my run of those. They are the only Valiants I have never offered for sale.
No ASM 361?
Ah yes! I missed that one! I think 361 makes an appearance in one of my others vids, but yes, I agree definitely, asm 361 is one of the greats from the 90s. Thanks!
Youngblood LOL I bet you got wildc.a.t.s.!!
As a matter of fact, I think I do have that book lol
Can't help noticing your other top books of other decades had 20, this has 10. Telling of the 90's. With few exceptions this is the decade that ruined comics for old school fans. Everything bad started here. The chrome, the variant covers and although comics have always tried to take advantage of what's hot right now by imitation, Marvel took the cake, The 90's for marvel were Wolverine, Punisher Ghost rider, more spiderman titles and X-everything. Lot of classic heroes, especially the FF were all but kicked to the curb for the five or so titles that just kept beating like a dead horse. Also as far as value..I'm fairly certain Spiderman 300, especially with the recent movie has more value than NM 98...but maybe its a back and forth kind of thing.
Hey there! Great to hear from you again! Yes, I did this video in my earlier RUclips days and that is why it is a top 10. I actually plan to remake it as a Top 20 very soon. Yes, I know a lot of people who didn’t like the 90s. I personally like many comics from the 90s but I agree there was a lot of crap published as well. Thanks for tuning in! Look forward to chatting more! You may be right about ASM 300, especially at this particular point in time.
The price on ebay is no the same are price guide....people think that web site like amazon and ebay are the price...but just is a normal people put they own price ...
Very true! I find a lot of people nowadays are using eBay as the authority rather than the price guide. Heck the price guide can’t even be considered accurate! It’s a guide and creating by the subjective opinions of comics dealers all over the US. Thanks for commenting!
I have x-o comics.
Yes, I have a few too.. I still have yet to read them though lol
a.8 million copy’s is really terrible of a stat for guys like us ... it’s low hanging fruit ,,, u have no color,, predictable
B. You led with a valiant? And it wasn’t Turok no.1?
C. You audio makes us feel like we’re inside the liberty bell and had DayQuil for breakfast beforehand..
..... other than that , good vid! U asked for comment ...... Sorri for bein kinda negitive .. good day sir
Thank no problem. This is an old video, but thanks for watching and commenting
not a comic book crash! a comic book business decline.
hulk 377
Ha ha! Funny you mention that! I literally just picked up that book. Can’t wait to read it.
😅😊😊😊
damn death of superman, meh..
Lol I know ha ha
It looks like you just picked number 1s and first appearances and just say they made cultural significance but don’t say how. Todd McFarlane ain’t no pin-up artist. Make your point and quit rambling.
I remade this video a couple months ago.. it’s on the channel if you want t check it out. Cheers!
