Sink Your Teeth into a Cult Classic: Grizzly Shark #2 (of 3) – First Print, Signed by Ryan Ottley
Experience the absurd, blood-soaked mayhem of Grizzly Shark #2 (First Print, Signed by Ryan Ottley, Image Comics). Released May 11, 2016, this second issue of the cult-hit trilogy by Ryan Ottley (writer, artist, letterer) and Ivan Plascencia (colorist) ramps up the horror-comedy chaos, making it a prime collectible for investors and fans of over-the-top comics.
Key Appearances: Grizzly Shark #2 continues the saga of a shark terrorizing the woods, following the survivors from issue #1, including Donnie, now legless after a brutal attack, and his father. The issue introduces more of “Exterminator Gary” and his shark-hunting crew, alongside escalating encounters with the Grizzly Shark. A standout scene, reminiscent of B-movie gore, features the shark devouring a cyclist, inching closer to the camera in Ottley’s dynamic panels. The issue builds toward the epic Grizzly Shark vs. Sea Bear finale, teasing Sea Bear’s looming presence.
Current Value: Originally priced at $3.50, Grizzly Shark #2 followed the sold-out 2010 one-shot and issue #1, with first prints becoming scarce. Signed by Ottley, NM copies sell for $25–$50 on eBay, with CGC-graded 9.8 copies reaching $80–$120 due to the signature and the series’ niche appeal. Ottley’s Invincible fame and the trilogy’s cult status drive demand.
Expected Value and Trends: Grizzly Shark’s absurd premise and B-movie vibe, akin to Sharknado, resonate with fans of trashy, gory comics. Signed first prints have appreciated 15–20% annually, fueled by Ottley’s growing reputation and the Invincible animated series (Prime Video) boosting his profile. By 2026, signed NM copies could hit $60–$100; CGC-graded versions may reach $150–$250 by 2030, especially if Ottley’s work sees further adaptations. Potential reprints or comic convention exclusives could spike interest further.
Investment Opportunity: This signed Grizzly Shark #2 is a collector’s treasure, showcasing Ottley’s unrestrained, cartoonish gore and Plascencia’s vibrant colors. Its low print run, Ottley’s signature, and the series’ cult following make it a smart investment. Perfect for Invincible fans or lovers of absurd horror, this issue delivers laughs and shocks.
