Question
I have recently inherited a box of comics from my father. among these comics there was several which I couldnt find what their value is worth and was wondering whether you could shed some slight as to their values.  The comic is: Batman "a Death in the family" - all four collectors item issues in one volume by Starlin, Aparo and Decarlo. Robin died in this issue.  Hope this is enough information, please ask if you need further info.  Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Answer
Hi Benjamin,

According to the latest Overstreet Price Guide, a 1st printing of that edition is valued at $5 in Near Mint condition.  If it's a 2nd printing or later, then it's value is $4 in Near Mint.

I did a search on recently completed auctions on eBay to see what they are going for there and the prices sold for range from $1 to almost $9, depending on the condition.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
