Key issues
Collecting EC Comics: Shock SuspenStories, Panic and the pre-Code line
EC Comics, published by William Gaines from 1947 to 1956, produced the most acclaimed horror, crime, science-fiction and satire comics of the Golden Age: Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, The Haunt of Fear, Shock SuspenStories, Crime SuspenStories, Weird Science, Weird Fantasy, Mad and Panic. The line was destroyed by the 1954 Comics Code; only Mad survived. EC books are collected for their art, and Gaines File copies set the high-grade benchmark.

Why a Price Guide Number Is Only a Starting Point for Comic Values
A comic book values price guide gives a reference figure for a title, issue and grade, but it is not what a particular copy will sell for. The real value comes from the exact condition of your copy and what comparable copies have recently sold for.

How CGC Grade, Page Quality and Label Set the Price of a Slabbed Comic
The value of CGC graded comics is set by the numeric grade, the page quality noted on the label, the label type (including any restoration), and demand for that specific issue. The only reliable figure is what the same issue in the same grade recently sold for.
