Invest in a Bronze Age Icon: The New Teen Titans Vol. 1 #2 (1980) CGC 9.6 – A Key Issue with Explosive Potential
Seize the opportunity to own The New Teen Titans Vol. 1 #2 (December 1980), a cornerstone of DC Comics’ Bronze Age, graded CGC 9.6 (Near Mint+). Crafted by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, this issue introduces pivotal characters and sets the stage for the Titans’ legendary run, making it a prime collectible for investors and fans alike.
Key Appearances: This issue marks the first appearance of Deathstroke the Terminator (Slade Wilson), DC’s iconic mercenary and one of the most enduring villains in comics, later popularized in media like Arrow and Titans. It also features the first appearance of the H.I.V.E. (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Eliminations) and Trigon the Terrible, Raven’s demonic father, both central to the Titans’ mythos. The first appearance and death of Ravager (Grant Wilson), Deathstroke’s son, adds narrative weight. The story follows Grant’s transformation by H.I.V.E. into Ravager, his clash with the Titans—Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Changeling—and Deathstroke’s dramatic debut, cementing this issue’s significance.


Current Value: A CGC 9.6 copy of The New Teen Titans Vol. 1 #2 commands $200–$300 as of June 2025, based on recent sales on eBay and Heritage Auctions. This high-grade value reflects the issue’s key appearances and the scarcity of Near Mint+ copies, with ungraded Very Fine copies selling for $40–$60 and lower-grade copies (Good to Fine) at $15–$30. The CGC 9.6 grade ensures pristine condition, boosting its appeal for serious collectors.

Expected Value & Trends: The issue’s value is set for strong growth. Deathstroke’s prominence in DC’s cinematic and animated projects, including the Titans series and potential DCEU appearances, drives demand for his first appearance. The Teen Titans Go! franchise and the enduring popularity of Wolfman and Pérez’s run further elevate interest. Bronze Age key issues with first appearances have appreciated by 8–12% annually, and with DC’s media slate for 2025–2026, a CGC 9.6 copy could reach $300–$450 within 12–18 months. A Deathstroke-focused film or series could push values higher, potentially toward $500+ for this grade.

Investment Opportunity: Graded at CGC 9.6, The New Teen Titans Vol. 1 #2 is a blue-chip investment, combining rarity, key introductions, and cultural relevance. Its role in launching Deathstroke, H.I.V.E., and Trigon, alongside the Titans’ iconic roster, makes it a must-own for DC collectors. As demand for high-grade Bronze Age keys grows, this issue offers substantial financial and nostalgic rewards.
