About Copper Age comics

The Copper Age is the bridge between newsstand comics and the direct market. Prestige formats, creator-owned independents and mature-readers lines changed what a comic could be, and books such as Watchmen #1, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1 and the early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issues remain the era's headline keys.

Copper Age books were printed on better paper and bought by collectors from day one, so the market is concentrated in high grade. We focus on 9.6 and 9.8 copies with white pages and on the early independents, where small print runs make even mid-grade copies genuinely hard to find.

Every book ships double-boxed, signature-required and insured to full value, and you have 14 days from delivery to inspect it. Undisclosed restoration is refundable with no time limit under our authenticity guarantee. Have Copper Age books of your own to grade or sell? Start a grading submission or request an appraisal.
