Issue by Issue Value of Dell Comics
One of the most successful publishers in comic book history, Dell claimed to ship over 26 million comic books per month at the height of its popularity.
The company had major agreements with movie and TV studios to publish comic books based on famous stars and cartoon characters.
It would be impossible to feature every Dell issue on this page.
We start with 'key issues', the most important single books by Dell. Each book is an example of the series. Clicking on those shows you ALL value results for those series.
Next, we link to detailed price guides for their famous comic book series.

If you've got a collection of Dell comics in very high grade, then get in touch, using the button below to begin.
Please note that most Dell issues in poor to average shape are NOT valuable. If you're not sure, do a bit of research using the articles below first.
Click any link to be taken to the full-page, in-depth price guide for that series.
Below, we show single comic books for each of the major Dell characters and series.
Clicking on a link or image will take you to results for multiple books for those series, not just the one you see here.
So, if you have a Pogo Possum comic book, for example, clicking on the image of Pogo Possum #105 will show you ALL the results for Pogo Possum, not just one comic.
This should help you get a sense of what your issues are worth, even if you don't have an exact match to what's on this page!
Remember that condition is critical. Most Dell comics don't sell for big money unless they are in very fine or better shape.
