I saw an article on Bounding into Comics about the upcoming Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan) series casting its main character. Marvel/Disney said they wanted to be true to the character. I laughed so hard when I read that. Maybe going forward they will care about “staying true” to the character.
I’ve been collecting comic books since I was 10 (now 30). A few years ago I was at a local comic con and one vendor was selling comic book mystery bags for 5 bucks. I got the Ms Marvel #1. Kinda boring to me but it’s been going up in price. Maybe I’ll sell it once it goes up more.
Are old Captain Marvels actually worth anything?
The O.G. Captain Marvel from the '60s (the white dude in the hero suit) will run you around $50 or more per issue depending on what kind of shape they're in and the relevance of the issue.
Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) issues from the '70s, you're looking at anywhere from a buck and up, depending on grading and relevance.
Anything newer than Silver Age and you're looking at a baseline value of around a buck per issue, if you're even going to be paying that much for it. You can probably find a lot of the new Captain Marvel (Carol) and Ms. Marvel (Kamala) issues in the quarter bin at your FLCS.
Ah, this is the white dude in a hero suit with the shield. They're in really good shape, no idea of what the stories are about. Sounds about right for what he paid, but I don't expect him to do more than break even, if he bothers to want to look to sell 'em. I just wanted to see if he got totally soaked or not (this was years ago, when he bought them, long before I met him.)
