Question
i have astonishing tales 25, first appearance deathlok. it is signed by rich buckler and in fine to very fine condition. it was published august 1974. could you give me an idea of its value?

Answer
Hi Peter

Astonishing Tales 25 in F/VF currently has a price guide value of around $20.  Unfortunately, there is no easy formula for figuring out how a signature affects the value of a comic.  It really just depends on what premium a person interested in the comic is willing to pay.  I would imagine, if the comic is nicely signed, it might fetch an extra $10 or $20.

Enjoy!
