Exquisite Corpses #3 (1st Print, Michael Walsh Cover A, NM/NM+) - VegasComics.com Sales DescriptionInvestment Overview: Exquisite Corpses #3 (2025, Image Comics), written by James Tynion IV and Pornsak Pichetshote with art by Michael Walsh and Valentine De Landro, is a chilling chapter in the 13-issue horror event series. This Near Mint to Near Mint+ (NM/NM+) 1st print, featuring Walsh’s haunting Cover A, is a collector’s must-have, driven by its intense narrative and critical acclaim.
Key Appearances: The issue escalates the deadly game in Oak Valley, Maine, as two killers—Nurse Pete and another undisclosed assassin—clash in a hospital and concert hall, raising the body count. Key characters include the surviving townsfolk and the 12 elite-sponsored killers, like Leopold Strong and the Lone Gunman, with new character developments teased. The focus on Nurse Pete, a high-kill-count, bloodless murderer, adds chilling depth.
Current Fair Market Value (FMV): Raw NM/NM+ copies trade at $8-$15, with CGC 9.8 graded copies at $35-$50, fueled by Walsh’s striking cover and the series’ buzz as 2025’s horror event. The estimated print run of 20,000-30,000 reflects strong demand, following #1’s sellout.
Projected FMV Trends: Raw NM/NM+ copies could reach $15-$25 and CGC 9.8 copies $50-$80 within 12-18 months, driven by the series’ critical praise, Corpse Tour ’25 signings (e.g., SDCC 2025, July 25-27), and potential media adaptations. The trading card game tie-in and Marvel’s horror resurgence boost growth, though print run size may temper long-term spikes.
Investment Potential: Tynion and Pichetshote’s sharp writing, Walsh and De Landro’s visceral art, and the series’ Battle Royale-style horror make this issue a standout. Its social satire and unique “Corpse Crew” collaboration ensure lasting appeal. Secure this NM/NM+ copy at VegasComics.com to invest in a high-demand issue with strong appreciation potential, ideal for horror fans and speculators.
