Archie, Aug-88 | 1st Appearances of Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady in comics. Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist #14 in this year's Top 100. Angelo notes: Not one but THREE first comic book appearances; Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady! Prices in 2022 have softened making this book a great buy in higher grades. Prices in 2020 and 2021 have gone up for many grades. In 2021: 9.6 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold in January for $1250, an 8.5 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold in March for $400. Ben notes: This entry is for the $1.25 NEWSSTAND CPV. It is such an interesting circumstance that in addition to the single-price NEWSSTAND copies, Archie also produced single-price DIRECT EDITION copies of this issue as well (in other words, rather than placing both $1.00 and $1.25 CAN on all direct editions, they produced two distinct batches, a $1.00 direct edition and a $1.25 direct edition). Please note that at the time our 2023 guide was assembled, CGC still "lumped together" both types by cover price on their census, making it impossible to know how many of their census copies are newsstand versus direct (so the CGC count number you see is inclusive of BOTH types and just gives the $1.25 cover price census count for the issue number at large), but we understand that in connection with their announcement to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, that CGC intends to track the numbers separately by type going forward. Also, see my separate two-part post on this issue: Part I & Part II Doug notes: 8/1988; FIRST appearance of BEBOP and ROCK STEADY in Comics; Adapts TV Cartoons; FIRST Printing; Canadian Newsstand VARIANT Edition with Single original Cover Price of $1.25, with UPC barcode; CGC label note: 1st comic book appearance of Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady. $1.25 cover price. |
