Comic books (Comics)/Marvel Comics

Question
I was cleaning and found a couple of 20 year old comic books.  (1) is "the Amazing Spider-Man" Vol 1 No 318 Aug 1989 and the other is still in the plastic sleeve - "Marvel Super Heroes - Secret Wars" Vol 1 No 6 October 1984.  Both are in excellent condition.  Are these comic books worth anything?  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Tanya -

A lot depends on the condition they are in, but if they are in the plastic covers odds are they are in pretty good shape.  Listed below is a website I got from another expert on the site where you can punch in the individual issues you have and get an estimate of the value, give it a shot and if that doesn't help you shoot me an e-mail and I'll try something else for you.

Thanks! Here is the site, http://www.comicspriceguide.com/

Expertise

I am an expert on the storylines of most DC and Marvel comics particularly the X-Men, Justice League and most Marvel comics of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The characters with which I am the most familiar are Daredevil, Iron Man, Batman, and the Avengers. I am a rabid Green Lantern fan as well and would put that as one of my favorite things in life! One thing I won't do is estimate the value of a comic book, if that is what you need check out www.comicspriceguide.com

Experience

I have collected comic books for 36 years and have close relatives in the industry who helped shape the direction of comics in the early seventies.
