Why Detective Comics #400 is a Hot Comic

2024 MARKET REPORT: BACK AFTER FIVE YEARS AWAY

Whether the sad passing of Neal Adams is a factor, or the reboot of the DCU, the first appearance of Man-Bat is hot again.

No outright records broken in the past year, but two second-highest by grade, including a solid $31K in CGC 9.8.

DROPPED OUT OF THE HOT LIST

MARKET REPORT 2018: SELDOM OFFERED TO US, BUT IN A HOLDING PATTERN

Neal Adams was the hottest artist around a couple of years ago. This book appreciated strongly and rightly arrived on the Hot 100 last year.

We've seen small increases since, but it's a book that is really in a holding pattern. A Man-Bat movie, anybody?

Recent sales:

CGC 9.6 $1,900
CGC 9.4 $900
CGC 9.2 $840
CGC 9.0 $600
CGC 8.0 $235
CGC 6.0 $250 (!!!)

MARKET REPORT 2017: NEW TO THE LIST!

Tek #400 is a classic Neal Adams cover. Adams is pretty hot property right now, so collectors and investors are revisiting books like this. So should you.

A little over 100 in the CGC census means you will need to strike when a copy comes along. There simply isn't the supply to be too choosy.

WARNING! This book tops the BIGGEST LOSERS list from the Bronze Age implosion period. Check out this link to see how far CGC 9.8s have fallen. That's not to say it's not a good buy at the lower price point, just a reminder that bubbles can burst...
