Comic Book Secondary Market Analysis: 2024 vs. 2023
Share
I. Introduction
This report provides a comparative analysis of the secondary market for comic books in 2024 versus 2023. The secondary market, encompassing the resale of previously owned collectible comics, represents a significant and dynamic segment of the broader comic book industry. Following a period of unprecedented growth, the market entered a correction phase starting in mid-2021/early 2022.1 This analysis examines the continuation and evolution of these trends through 2023 and 2024, focusing on overall market dynamics, high-value auction results, performance across different comic book eras, and the factors influencing market behaviour. The objective is to provide a clear comparison of market conditions and performance between the two years, identifying key shifts and emerging patterns.
II. Defining the Secondary Market Scope
For the purposes of this report, the "secondary market for comic books" refers specifically to the buying and selling of previously owned comic books, primarily those considered collectible due to age, rarity, condition, or significance (e.g., key issues featuring first appearances or major events). This market operates distinctly from the primary market, where new comics are sold by publishers through distributors to retailers and then to initial consumers.2
The secondary market involves transactions between collectors, investors, dealers, and auction houses, facilitated through various channels including online platforms (like eBay), dedicated comic book auction sites (like Heritage Auctions, ComicConnect), comic conventions, and local comic stores (LCS) that buy and sell back issues.4 Participants in this market range from casual collectors seeking specific issues to serious investors treating high-grade, key comics as assets.1 Key activities include grading by third-party companies (like CGC or CBCS) to certify authenticity and condition, which significantly impacts value, particularly for higher-priced items.1 This analysis focuses on reported sales data, auction results, and market commentary pertaining to this resale environment, excluding initial retail sales of new comics.
III. Overall Secondary Market Size and Volume (Data Limitations)
Comprehensive, aggregated data quantifying the total value and volume of the secondary comic book market specifically for 2023 and 2024 is not readily available in the public domain or within the reviewed sources. Industry reports often focus on the overall comic book market, which includes primary sales of new physical and digital comics, or the North American comics and graphic novel market encompassing retail channels.7
For instance, estimates for the total global comic book market size in 2023 range from approximately $12.5 billion to $14.8 billion 7, with forecasts projecting growth. The North American comics and graphic novel market was estimated at $1.87 billion in 2023, down 7% from 2022 but still substantially higher than pre-pandemic levels.10 However, these figures predominantly reflect new product sales through channels like comic stores and bookstores (including online retailers like Amazon) and do not isolate the value exchanged within the secondary/collectible resale market.10
While direct aggregate figures for the secondary market are lacking, its performance trends can be inferred through analysis of major auction house results, price movements of key collectible issues, and qualitative assessments from market observers, which will be explored in subsequent sections.
IV. High-End Auction Market Performance (2024 Focus)
The upper echelon of the secondary market, primarily represented by major auction house sales of high-grade, rare, and historically significant comics ("grails"), demonstrated remarkable strength in 2024, often setting record prices even amidst a broader market correction. Heritage Auctions, a dominant player in this space, reported significant growth and record-setting activity.
-
Heritage Auctions 2024 Performance: Heritage Auctions achieved total sales exceeding $205 million for its Comics & Comic Art categories in 2024.12 This represents substantial long-term growth compared to $31 million in 2014.13 Comparing the first half of 2024 to the first half of 2023, Heritage reported growth in both comic sales ($63.6 million vs $55 million) and comic art sales ($36.4 million vs $32.9 million).14 The year was marked by numerous record-breaking sales, culminating in the world's first comic and comic art auction to surpass $28 million in April 2024.13
-

Comic Art Performance: Original comic art also saw strong performance and record prices, contributing significantly to the overall category total for auction houses like Heritage.12 Notable 2024 sales included a Rob Liefeld page from New Mutants #98 (introducing Deadpool) for $960,000, the Lee Elias cover art for Black Cat Mystery #50 for $840,000, and John Buscema's art for Wolverine (1988) #1 for $600,000.12
-
High-End Market Context (vs. 2023): While specific total auction figures for Heritage's Comics & Comic Art in 2023 were not fully detailed in the provided sources for a direct annual comparison, the reported growth in H1 2024 over H1 2023 14 and the sheer scale of record-breaking sales in 2024 suggest an escalation at the very top end. The $6 million sale of Action Comics #1 surpassed the previous $5.3 million record set in 2022 16, indicating continued, intense competition for the absolute rarest items. This performance at the peak contrasts with the broader market conditions prevalent during the correction phase, which was already underway in 2023.1 The high-end auction market's performance in 2024, characterized by these record sales, suggests a pronounced "flight to quality" among top-tier collectors and investors, who appeared willing to pay premiums for exceptional rarity and condition, potentially viewing these items as distinct assets insulated from wider market fluctuations.13
V. Broader Secondary Market Dynamics: Correction and Divergence (2024 vs. 2023)
Beyond the headline-grabbing auction results, the broader secondary market for collectible comics continued to navigate the correction phase that followed the market peak around mid-2021/early 2022.1 Year 2023 was firmly within this correction period 1, setting the stage for the more nuanced dynamics observed in 2024.
-
The Ongoing Correction: The adjustment phase continued through 2023 and into 2024, characterized by declining values for many key issues compared to their peak prices.1 Anecdotal reports from early in the correction suggested that attempts to "buy the dip" often resulted in further losses, described metaphorically as "catching a falling knife".1 While the overall North American primary market for comics and graphic novels saw a 7% decline in 2023 10, this dip, although primarily reflecting new sales, likely contributed to a cautious sentiment that permeated the secondary market as well.
-
Mixed Signals in 2024 - Signs of Stabilization?: Analysis from market trackers like GoCollect in 2024 indicated a complex picture, with some key issues potentially finding a price floor while others continued to decline 1:
-
Amazing Fantasy #15 (Silver Age): Early 2024 analysis suggested values for common grades (e.g., CGC 3.0) might have stabilized around levels seen since March 2023, hinting at a possible bottom after a significant drop from the early 2022 peak.1 However, a later sale of a high-grade (CGC 9.0) copy in September 2024 showed a significant increase compared to its last sale in 2017, indicating returning strength at the upper end for this key book.17
-
Incredible Hulk #181 (Bronze Age): Data from early 2024 indicated that values for common grades (e.g., CGC 7.5) were still actively falling, with short-term average prices consistently below longer-term averages.1
-
Amazing Spider-Man #300 (Copper Age): Similar to Hulk #181, values for common grades (e.g., CGC 7.5) were still declining in early 2024, although potentially at a slower pace than previously.1
-
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (Copper/Modern): This key independent book experienced a dramatic fall from its peak value. However, sales in late 2024 suggested prices might be stabilizing, albeit at a level significantly lower than the peak.17
-
Market Divergence: The stark contrast between record-setting prices for elite comics at auction (Section IV) and the ongoing struggles or tentative stabilization for many other key issues highlights a significant divergence within the secondary market in 2024. Performance varied considerably based on the specific comic's era, historical importance, grade, and perceived rarity.1 This suggests the market is not monolithic and evaluating it as a single entity can be misleading.
-
Market Sentiment: A prevailing sense of caution characterized the broader market in 2024. Some collectors and commentators anticipated prices potentially settling near pre-boom levels (circa 2019-2020) or even lower, with a full recovery potentially taking several years.1 This cautious outlook contrasts sharply with the aggressive bidding seen for top-tier auction lots. Analysis of the top 10 sales of 2024 suggested that while high-end buyers were active early in the year, enthusiasm might have waned somewhat for non-record items as the year progressed.15 Auction results from December 2024 further illustrated this mixed sentiment, with a restored high-grade Action Comics #1 performing strongly, while a lower-grade Batman #1 continued its price decline.19
The secondary market in 2024 thus appeared more stratified than in 2023. While 2023 likely saw a more widespread continuation of the correction across most segments, 2024 emphasized a widening gap. Ultra-rare, high-grade comics, particularly from the Golden and Silver Ages, behaved like distinct "investment-grade" assets, achieving new heights. Meanwhile, the rest of the market, including many significant Bronze and Copper Age keys and lower-to-mid-grade books across all eras, continued to experience price adjustments or stagnation as supply and demand sought a new equilibrium post-boom. The concept of the market "hitting bottom" proved to be issue-specific and grade-specific, rather than a uniform event, with 2024 providing evidence of potential floors for some items but continued decline for others.1
VI. Segment Analysis: Performance Across Eras and Key Issues (2024 vs. 2023)
Analyzing performance by comic book era reveals distinct trends, largely correlating with factors like scarcity, historical significance, and susceptibility to recent market speculation.
-
Golden Age (1938-1955): This era appeared to be the most resilient segment throughout the correction phase.15 Its strength stems from the inherent rarity of surviving copies and the foundational importance of its key characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America).
-
2024 Performance: Golden Age books dominated the highest auction results, setting multiple records (e.g., Action Comics #1, Superman #1, All-Star Comics #8, Captain America Comics #1).13 Even lower and mid-grade Golden Age keys demonstrated strength, with sales often showing significant appreciation over previous transactions years earlier or even recent gains (e.g., Detective Comics #1 CGC 3.0 sale in Dec 2024 vs. 2010; Captain America Comics #1 CGC 3.0 sale in Apr 2024 up from Nov 2023).16 Rare high-grade examples also set records (e.g., Miracle Comics #4 CGC 9.4, Mystery Men Comics #15 CGC 9.2).19
-
Comparison (vs. 2023): The Golden Age likely maintained strong performance from 2023 into 2024, with the very top end potentially accelerating further due to the flight-to-quality trend.
-
Silver Age (1956-1969): This era, which introduced many of Marvel's core characters and revitalized DC heroes, showed a more mixed performance in 2024.
-
2024 Performance: The absolute highest-graded examples of premier Silver Age keys achieved record prices (e.g., Fantastic Four #1 9.6, Amazing Spider-Man #1 9.8, Showcase #4 9.6, Tales of Suspense #39 9.8).13 Other high-grade keys also hit new auction highs (e.g., Avengers #1 9.6, Daredevil #1 9.8, Justice League of America #1 9.6, Strange Tales #110 9.6).16 However, the broader correction impacting the Silver Age began in early 2022.1 Analysis of Amazing Fantasy #15 suggested potential stabilization in common grades but renewed strength in high grades.1 Conversely, a key like Fantastic Four #5 (Doctor Doom's debut) saw its high-grade (9.2) value decline compared to 2022, despite potential future media relevance.17
-
Comparison (vs. 2023): 2024 likely saw increased divergence within the Silver Age compared to 2023. The very best copies commanded record premiums, behaving like Golden Age grails, while more common keys and lower/mid-grades continued to navigate the correction that was already well underway in 2023.
-
Bronze Age (1970-1979): This era, known for darker themes and key character introductions like Wolverine and Punisher, generally continued to experience downward price pressure in 2024.
-
2024 Performance: The correction that began post-peak seemed to persist for major Bronze Age keys.1 Incredible Hulk #181 (Wolverine's first full appearance) saw values in common grades (e.g., 7.5) continuing to fall through early 2024.1 House of Secrets #92 (Swamp Thing's debut), which had previously shown strength, began showing signs of cooling off in high grades (9.4) by late 2024.17
-
Comparison (vs. 2023): The Bronze Age segment appeared generally weaker than the Golden and top-tier Silver Age markets in 2024, largely continuing the downward price adjustments that characterized 2023.
-
Copper Age (approx. 1980-1991) & Modern Age (approx. 1992-Present): These eras, often characterized by higher print runs and significant speculative interest during the recent boom (particularly around movie/TV hype), faced similar or more pronounced corrective pressures.
-
2024 Performance: Many keys continued to see values decline from their peaks.1 Amazing Spider-Man #300 (Venom's first full appearance) showed falling values in common grades (e.g., 7.5) in early 2024.1 Ultimate Fallout #4 (Miles Morales' debut) saw its fair market value dip slightly despite ongoing MCU speculation.20 However, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, after a severe crash, showed potential signs of price stabilization later in the year.17
-
Comparison (vs. 2023): The correction phase continued actively from 2023 into 2024 for many Copper and Modern keys. The higher volume of speculative buying during the boom likely contributed to steeper price adjustments compared to older eras. While declines persisted, 2024 saw the first tentative signs of potential stabilization for certain high-profile books within these eras.
The performance across eras in 2024 reinforces the correlation between scarcity, historical placement, and market resilience. The Golden Age, with its inherent rarity, remained the most stable and saw top-end appreciation. The Silver Age displayed a split personality, with its rarest gems achieving records while more common issues faced ongoing correction. The Bronze, Copper, and Modern eras, having experienced higher print runs and more intense recent speculation, generally continued their adjustment phase, although signs of potential bottoming emerged for specific issues as 2024 progressed. This contrasts with 2023, which likely saw a more uniform continuation of the correction across most segments outside the very peak of the Golden Age.
VII. Market Drivers and Influencing Factors (2024 vs. 2023)
Several interconnected factors shaped the secondary comic book market's performance in 2023 and 2024.
-
Post-Boom Normalization: The dominant influence in both years was the ongoing market adjustment following the speculative boom that peaked around mid-2021/early 2022.1 This normalization involved prices receding from unsustainable highs. Anecdotal commentary linked the boom's deflation to the cessation of pandemic-related stimulus payments and shifts in broader credit conditions affecting disposable income.1
-
Economic Climate: General economic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, and concerns about economic slowdown, likely played a role in both 2023 and 2024 by influencing collector spending power and investment appetite in alternative assets like collectibles.1
-
Collector/Investor Psychology: The market sentiment shifted markedly from the "Fear Of Missing Out" (FOMO) prevalent during the boom years to increased caution and selectivity in 2023 and 2024.1 Buyers became more discerning, focusing on factors like condition, provenance, and long-term value, with some expressing concerns about further price declines.1 This cautious psychology likely became more entrenched in 2024 as the correction phase extended.
-
Media Influence: Adaptations in film and television (e.g., MCU, DCU) continued to influence demand for related key issues.17 However, the impact might have become more selective or yielded diminishing returns compared to the peak boom years, as seen with the value dip in Ultimate Fallout #4 despite Miles Morales' prominence 20 or the decline in high-grade Fantastic Four #5 values despite MCU speculation.17 Primary market data confirms that media tie-ins (like Invincible, The Boys) still drive sales surges for related comics, suggesting media remains a relevant, albeit perhaps less explosive, factor for secondary market interest as well.21
-
Primary Market Health: Trends in the new comics market provided context. While the overall North American primary market dipped in 2023 10, comic store sales showed a notable rebound in the first eight months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.21 This growth was driven by successful initiatives like Marvel's relaunch of the Ultimate Universe (especially Ultimate Spider-Man) and the X-Men franchise, DC's popular "Compact Comics" format, and strong performance from licensed titles by publishers like IDW (TMNT), Image/Skybound (Energon Universe), and Dynamite (ThunderCats).21 Publisher market shares also shifted, with Marvel gaining significantly early in 2024 before DC regained some ground later in the year.22 This renewed energy in specific segments of the primary market in 2024 could eventually stimulate secondary market demand for related back issues, offering a potential positive influence not as apparent during the 2023 primary market downturn.
-
Role of Grading: Third-party grading (CGC, CBCS) remained crucial in both years, underpinning the high-value transactions, particularly at auction, by providing standardized assessments of condition and authenticity.1 The market's focus on high grades, facilitated by grading services, intensified the stratification observed in 2024.
Comparing the two years, the fundamental driver in both was the post-boom correction. However, 2024 represented a more mature phase of this correction. While 2023 was largely defined by the continuation of broad-based price declines, 2024 saw the emergence of stronger counter-trends and greater market fragmentation. These included the "flight to quality" driving record prices at the absolute top, tentative signs of price stabilization for certain key issues lower down, and a partial recovery in the primary market that could potentially seed future secondary market interest. Economic uncertainty and cautious buyer sentiment remained significant background factors across both years.
VIII. Comparative Synthesis and Outlook
Synthesizing the analysis, the secondary comic book market exhibited distinct characteristics in 2024 compared to 2023, moving from a phase of broad correction towards one of increased divergence and selective stabilization.
-
Overall Trend Comparison: 2023 was characterized by the continuation of a widespread market correction following the post-pandemic boom. In contrast, 2024 displayed significant divergence: the ultra-high-end segment reached new record prices, while the broader market continued its correction, albeit with emerging signs of stabilization for specific books and grades.
-
High-End Market Comparison: The market for the rarest and highest-grade comics remained relatively strong in both periods compared to the wider market. However, 2024 witnessed more numerous and significantly higher record-breaking auction sales, particularly in the first half of the year, indicating intensified demand for "trophy" assets.14
-
Broader Market Comparison: Downward price pressure persisted in the broader market across both years. However, unlike the more generalized decline likely experienced in 2023, 2024 showed tentative signals of price floors being reached or stabilization occurring for certain widely collected key issues, though not uniformly.1
-
Era Performance Comparison: Golden Age comics maintained their strength and saw top-end appreciation in both years, potentially accelerating in 2024. The Silver Age became more stratified in 2024, with its top grails soaring while more common keys continued correcting. Bronze, Copper, and Modern Age keys largely continued their downward adjustments from 2023 into 2024, although some prominent issues showed signs of potentially finding support levels later in 2024.1
Key Takeaways:
-
Market Stratification: The secondary market in 2024 became increasingly stratified, with a widening gap between the performance of ultra-rare, high-grade "investment" comics and the rest of the market.
-
Importance of Rarity and Grade: Scarcity and certified high grade remain paramount drivers of value, particularly at the upper end, insulating the best examples from broader market downturns.
-
Selective Recovery: The process of finding a market bottom is not uniform but occurs on an issue-by-issue and grade-by-grade basis. Stabilization signs in 2024 were specific, not market-wide.
-
Interconnected Influences: Performance is shaped by a complex interplay of post-boom normalization, economic conditions, collector sentiment, media adaptations, and primary market health.
Outlook:
Based on the trends observed in 2024, the secondary comic market may continue along a path of divergence. Continued strength and potential new records seem plausible for the rarest, highest-grade Golden and Silver Age grails, driven by dedicated high-net-worth collectors and investors. The broader market is likely to experience ongoing stabilization efforts, with slow and selective recovery possible for key issues benefiting from sustained collector interest, proven historical significance, or positive catalysts like successful media adaptations.
Many Bronze, Copper, and Modern Age keys, particularly those with higher print runs or those heavily speculated upon during the boom, may require more time for prices to establish solid footing, potentially settling closer to pre-boom valuations as suggested by some market participants.1 The renewed vigor seen in parts of the primary market during 2024, if sustained, could gradually provide positive momentum for related secondary market segments.
In conclusion, the secondary comic book market navigated a complex and evolving landscape in 2024. It moved beyond the more uniform correction phase of 2023 towards a fragmented environment where elite assets soared while the broader market cautiously sought equilibrium after a period of intense volatility. Future performance will likely hinge on continued economic stability, the engagement of the collector base, and the ongoing cultural relevance driven by publishers and related media.
