 Marvel, 11/1983  1st Appearance of Peter Porker
#39 in this year's Top 100.
Angelo notes: 1st appearance of Spider-Ham, Hulk-Bunny, Goose Rider, Captain Americat, J.Jonah Jackal, May Porker & Larval Earth, canonically called Earth-8311. Spider-Ham has been a smashing success given the Spider-verse movie! He also appeared at the end of the second movie with the third one including him soon. In 2022: in July a 9.6 CGC sold for $348; in February a 9.2 CGC sold for $142. In March 2021 a 9.6 CGC sold for $237. A CGC 9.8 CGC sold for $1092. This one-shot issue is definately a must own book given all the possibilities these characters have for future projects on both the small as well as the big screen.
Conan notes: Example recent variant sales at MyComicShop: a raw GD 2.0 on 8/11/2023 for $26.00 (buy it now), a CGC 9.2 on 4/14/2023 for $88.00 (at auction)
Conan notes: Example past variant sales at MyComicShop: a CGC 9.2 on 4/14/2021 for $124, a CGC 9.2 on 1/5/2021 for $130, a CGC 9.2 on 8/9/2019 for $125
CGC label note: 1st appearance of Peter Porker the Spectacular Spider-Ham. 75 cent cover price.

Marvel Tails Comics CPV FAQ

Do cover price variants exist for Marvel Tails in the 1980s?

✔️Accepted answer: Yes, Type 1A 75¢ cover price variants exist within the Marvel Tails title.

Which issues of Marvel Tails have cover price variants in the 1980s?

✔️Accepted answer: There are Type 1A cover price variants for issue #1 of Marvel Tails.

Are the Marvel Tails cover price variants of the 1980s rare?

✔️Accepted answer: The Marvel Tails 1980s cover price variants were exclusive to the newsstand distribution channel (by contrast the well-preserved direct edition type sold in comic shops were not price variants). Within the newsstand distribution channel, the price variants were distributed only to a restricted geographic area within the larger North American newsstand market: that restricted area being Canada. Canada had one tenth the population of the United States in the 1980s. As a result, Marvel Tails cover price variants from the 1980s are a dramatically more rare newsstand type, and collectors who care about relative rarity are keen to target the price variant version of issue numbers they seek for their collections of interesting and rare comic books.

Are Marvel Tails 1980s cover price variants 1st printings?

✔️Accepted answer: Yes, by definition Marvel Tails Type 1A price variants are first printings which were published simultaneously with the other types, on the exact same manufacturing equipment, at the same time, on the same paper, using the same ink, and with publication origin being the USA. The indicia, interior pages, and all other aspects of the variants beyond the cover price box are 100% identical to their regularly priced newsstand counterparts. The Marvel Tails price variants, having originated in the USA as first print originals, were then shipped North to their destination market.

Are Marvel Tails cover price variants more valuable?

✔️Accepted answer: Yes, as seen in more detail in the Marvel Tails price guide page above, the variant values represent a sizable premium over the values of the commonplace direct editions in the same grades.

Help, I cannot find CGC 9.8 copies available for the Marvel Tails cover price variants I am looking for?!

✔️Accepted answer: We recommend lowering your grade expectations for all of the 1980s cover price variants, including those in the Marvel Tails title. Remember, the price variants were exclusive to the newsstand distribution channel, which means they were treated as reading material, not as collectibles, by both the staff that handled them, and the typical buyers who as a general rule were members of the general public actually interested in reading the comics. Collectors buying comics from newsstands was the exception, not the norm. As a result, surviving copies in the 9.8 NM/MT grade tier can be exceptionally difficult to find among the Marvel Tails cover price variants. A more reasonable grade to shoot for would be 9.0-and-up.
