Yup, I'm noticing that pretty much all the grades between 2.5-4.5 seem to float around the same price range, and all could be grabbed for under a grand. I'm of the mind that any copies of this book you can get within the $300-$800 range is ideal and have the best chance to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I bought my 7.5 about 18(?) months ago for $1700.00 Here are some examples from eBay to at least show what sellers want there. All of them have plenty of "watchers" as well. The book is a phenom. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313504292520?hash=item48fe4fdea8:g:XHMAAOSwpnFggtiC https://www.ebay.com/itm/224435853343?hash=item34416b581f:g:3mMAAOSw~X1ggkLo https://www.ebay.com/itm/114586126099?hash=item1aaddd8713:g:c9wAAOSwal1f395F HighVoltage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbanner Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Book cooled off a bit last year after a big run-up in 2018/2019, looks like it might be catching back up. zosocane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KCOComics Posted May 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2021 I got mine just recently and feel like I got a great deal. I had waited on this one for a long time.

Its probably my favorite BA book. capt hook, ADAMANTIUM, HighVoltage and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting together a high grade 70s HOS run. This was obviously the biggest book in the run, so I wanted to wait for the right opportunity. All the other books are NM- to NM, so this will stand out a little. I feel like I chased this for so long I'm not done with it lol. I would like to add a mid grade before it becomes to expensive.

I just meant every dc movie so far has been garbage so if swampy makes it to the big screen, dc will find a way to screw it up like all their movies.

Except the value of this book still keeps climbing after all these many adaptations. Swamp Thing has crept into the casual popular culture doxa, much like the Ninja Turtles (though not on the scale of turtle power), where it has literally become an evergreen property (no pun intended). He's already been given two feature length movies, a cartoon series, and now a TV series - all of which the quality of them didn't do anything negative to the characters overall popularity or the value of his key books. His continuous use in the DC comics has always been good (Justice League Dark, and now his newest solo series which is excellent), so any new movie (live action or animated) put out by DC would only increase his presence.

I was on the fence with the first issue, but love the direction and fresh new 'character' they are going with. Definitely shaping up to be one of the better Swampy series in the last decade or so. If you mean the recent TV show, it was alright. Visually amazing, especially the early episodes that offered the perfect horrific tone. The plotting and --script becomes 'meh' towards the end, but nothing crazy bad. 100% something to check out if you like the character.

See the comment now for the actually FULL critique I caught a few too but early on. Nothing my family was into or close pals, but it was nice on the nights alone haha. Currently thinking about buying a swamp thing slab, so gravitated to the thread. It'd be nice to hear him having a following, still may be too early to tell for the "next generation" or what not idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 If the top half of the spine was aligned perfectly, I could see someone paying that price with all the other insane prices being paid for BA keys lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost wrote the exact same thing. Still - with the market in a frenzy & the 9.8 & white pages, it should entertain some heat. scooter99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
