Background on Sad Sack Comics, the grade and what drives the price.
Key issues
Silver Surfer is a 1966 creation: he first appeared in Fantastic Four #48, cover-dated March 1966, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. As a character he is 60 years old in 2026, though his in-story age is a separate matter.

Key issues
The first Hulk is The Incredible Hulk #1, cover-dated May 1962, published by Marvel Comics and created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In that issue the Hulk is grey, not green, and the book's value depends heavily on its graded condition.
Updated Oct 11, 2026
Collecting
Tony Stark's first comic appearance is Tales of Suspense #39, cover-dated March 1963. Iron Man debuts in the same story, so there is no separate Tony Stark first appearance book: one issue introduces both the man and the armour.

CGC / CBCS
Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963) is the first appearance of Iron Man, and its price depends mostly on the CGC or CBCS grade, then on page quality, label type and the date of the sale you compare against. No single price applies, so check recent sold prices for the exact grade.
