Question
I have a few comics that have sat around for 30 years... How can I check the value of them.  And to be greedy in a question.  Do you ever recall a comic book, maybe in the 60s that had vehicles in it that were Futuristic then.  But what I was looking for was the way they looked.  If you ever saw a German Heinkel HE-111 airplane with that all glass bumble Nose.. these vehicles had that look... sound familiar.?

Answer
As to comic values, the most common source is the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide.  It is published yearly, and you can order it at any bookstore or get one at a comic shop.  However, it will cost about $25 to $30.

For a cheaper option, you can go to the website www.nostomania.com.  You have to sign up, but it's free and lists prices for most comics.  Don't pay attention to the high-grade prices on the site though, as they are ridiculous.

As to the car, sorry the plane you describe is not familiar to me.  There have been many comics over time featuring futuristic cars.  One that immediately comes to mind in the 60s was the title Supercar.  You can see scans of a few of the issues here:
