Creepy #144 Comic Book FAQ

What is the value of Creepy #144?
I have a copy of Creepy #144 and I want to know what this comic book is worth in different grades as a first printing?

✔️Accepted answer: The answer depends on whether you own a Type 1A cover price variant copy, or a regular/plain copy of Creepy #144. If you own a price variant copy, then lucky you, it is worth $70 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).

  Suggested answer: Check the cover price of your copy of Creepy #144, and if it is $2.50 then congratulations, you own the more-rare cover price variant type which has a higher value. If not, then you own the regular type which has a lower value.
