Key Character Appearances
  • Spider-Man (Peter Parker): Your friendly neighborhood felon (temporarily), sneaking, swinging, and sweating in the slammer.
  • Matt Murdock (Daredevil): Rocking a suit and tie as Spidey’s lawyer, with his radar sense likely itching for a rooftop rumble.
  • No named villains—the prison itself and its shady escape system are the real enemies, keeping things tense.
  • Ryker’s Island inmates and guards: A gritty backdrop of tough guys and tougher odds, making Spidey’s mission feel like Oz with webs.
  • No Aunt May or pals—Peter’s flying solo, which amps up the stakes and the isolation.
Current Value – What’s It Worth Today?
As of April 2025, The Amazing Spider-Man #219 is a solid mid-tier pickup with extra juice from the Spidey-Daredevil team-up. Raw copies in Very Fine (VF) condition (sharp, with light wear) sell for $15–$25, while Near Mint (NM) copies go for $30–$50. Graded slabs? A CGC 9.8 (cleaner than a fresh prison jumpsuit) fetches $150–$250, with 9.6s at $80–$120. Newsstand editions (check that barcode) can snag a 5–10% premium for rarity. Rough copies in Good to Fine shape run $6–$12, depending on how many “cellblock scuffs” they’ve got. The Murdock cameo keeps it hotter than random issues, but no major keys or first appearances cap its ceiling.
Expected Value – Will This Comic Break Free?
Let’s talk trends, because ASM #219 has some legs to sprint! The Spider-Man/Daredevil team-up is the big draw—both heroes are Marvel mainstays, with Daredevil’s MCU heat (Born Again dropped in 2025, and it’s a banger) and Spider-Man’s eternal hype (Spider-Man 4 rumors swirling) keeping their joint appearances in demand. The Ryker’s Island setting adds gritty cred, appealing to fans of street-level Marvel stories. Luke McDonnell’s art, while not Romita-level iconic, vibes with collectors who dig undervalued 1980s talent. The lack of a named villain (no Green Goblin here) keeps it from key-issue status, but the undercover plot gives it a unique hook.
The 2025 comic market’s steady, with Bronze Age Spidey holding strong. If Daredevil’s buzz spills over (say, a Spidey cameo in Born Again season 2 or a comic nod to this arc), raw VF copies could hit $20–$35 and NM $40–$65 in 12–18 months. Graded 9.8s might climb to $300–$400 with a team-up spike. Without a direct catalyst, expect 5–15% growth through 2027—reliable but not a jailbreak. Long term, Spidey and DD’s star power make it a safe hold, like a trusty lawyer bailing you out. Bonus: prison-break stories are evergreen, so it’s got staying power for collectors who love a good caper.
