Also check out our comic value packs

Value packs are a great way to get a lot of comics at a low price. Each value pack contains around 3 lbs. of comics, generally about 25-40 comics depending on page count. We offer a variety of packs grouped by character, genre, or publisher. View all value packs

There should not be duplicate issues within a single pack, but if you order multiple packs within the same group you may occasionally receive minor duplication.

Most value packs contain comics in grades ranging from VF to GD, with the only exception being the Wounded Wonders value pack which contains pre-1980 comics in lower grades, typically ranging from low GD to PR/non-collectible and may be incomplete.
