Background on Sub-Mariner, the grade and what drives the price.
Key issues
Sub-Mariner #1 (May 1968), by Roy Thomas and John Buscema, launched Namor's first solo title of the Silver Age after his feature in Tales to Astonish ended. It is one of the 1968 Marvel expansion #1s — with Captain America #100, Iron Man #1, Silver Surfer #1 and Nick Fury #1 — and a solid Silver Age key with a Buscema origin retelling. Namor himself dates from Marvel Comics #1 (1939) by Bill Everett.

Key issues
Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston and artist H. G. Peter and first appeared in All Star Comics #8, published by DC Comics with a cover date of December 1941 – January 1942. That issue is the original Wonder Woman comic that collectors mean by her first appearance.

Values
Wonder Woman #1, her first solo title from DC Comics, began in Summer 1942, after her debut in All Star Comics #8 and her first cover and regular feature in Sensation Comics #1. Its price depends mainly on grade, page quality and label type, so check recent sold prices for the exact grade you are considering.

Key issues
The Superman comic books collectors want most are Action Comics #1 (1938), his first appearance, and the early issues of his own title, Superman #1 and #2. On any of them, the CGC or CBCS grade is the biggest single factor in price.
