About Brian G. Philbin
Expertise
I`ve collected comics for 40 years and I'm able to answer most questions regarding comics, creators, fandom and the industry from the Golden Age through the Silver & Bronze Ages up through today`s comics, with an emphasis on super and action heroes. I have knowledge of the Western, Funny Animals, Romance and other genres, but to a lesser degree. My expertise lies in DC Comics/National Periodical Publications, although my general knowledge extends well into Marvel, Tower, Archie, Charlton & many of the "Independent" companies that began in the late 70`s & 80`s.

Experience
I have been a comics reader/fan for over 35 years now and have followed industry trends from distribution to creation to fandom to retail and back again. I have had several letters published in Comic Buyers Guide and have several websites dedicated to comics at:

HEY!! KIDS' COMICS!

If there's a question I don't know the answer to, I usually know who to ask and have been providing online information to a wealth of inquirers for over 10 years now. I'll do my utmost to answer your question, no matter whether it is simple or in-depth.

Question
I have the very first dragonball z comic. Please tell me what it is worth I can't find it anywhere.

Answer
Hi, Nicholas - thanks for your question!

The  very first Dragon Ball Z comic from Viz Comics in 1998 has three printings.  The first printing, in Near Mint condition would be worth approximately $8 at a comic book store.  Selling it on eBay would likely yield a lower return.

For more on the basics of comics values, condition (grading) and selling comics, I recommend you check out my Comics Basics page here:

Hope that's all helpful!

Pax, harmonia,

Brian G. Philbin
