what makes a comic a key

  • First appearance of a character, team or villain
  • Origin stories and costume changes
  • First issues of major titles
  • Deaths and major story events
  • Classic covers that collectors chase regardless of story
  • First work by a famous artist or writer

keys move with the news

Key values react to film and series announcements, casting news and anniversaries. That's why we price from recent sales rather than a printed guide. If you're holding a key that just got news, now may be a good time to get a number.

One key, one offer

You don't need a collection to sell to us. A single key gets the same free appraisal, prepaid overnight label and high-value insurance.

sell key issue comics: questions

How do I know if my comic is a key issue?

Check whether it's a first appearance, origin, #1 or famous cover. If you're not sure, send a photo and we'll tell you.

Should I grade a key before selling?

High-value keys often sell better graded. We'll tell you if the grading fee is worth it for your copy.

Do you buy single key comics?

Yes — one book is fine.
