List of the 175 Most Valuable Silver Age Comics in 2024
This article continues the list of rare and expensive comic books we began in the Golden Age.
Here, we move beyond the ultra-rare Golden Age comic books into the Silver Age. Let's get down to business.
Below are the top 175 most valuable comic books from the Silver Age.
Why 175 comic books? To make this list, the record sale must be $10K or higher.
When we crunched the numbers, there were too many great books which would have missed out if we didn't expand it WAY beyond our original scope! In time, we'll expand to 200.

What IS the Silver Age anyway? The Silver Age is easier to pin down than the Golden Age. It begins, all agree, with Barry Allen's Flash and Showcase #4 in 1956.
The ending is somewhat less easy to be certain of, but most put it somewhere in 1970, as comics became more "serious" and "relevant".
