Snag a Cult Classic: Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark #1 – First Print, Signed by Ryan Ottley
Dive into the gloriously absurd Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark #1 (First Print, Signed by Ryan Ottley, Image Comics). Released June 9, 2010, this one-shot by Ryan Ottley (writer, artist) and Jason Howard (artist) kicks off a horror-comedy legend, blending B-movie madness with Invincible-style flair. A must-have for collectors and investors chasing unique modern comics.
Key Appearances: This issue introduces the titular Sea Bear, a bear that hunts in the ocean, and Grizzly Shark, a shark that stalks the forest. Split into two tales, it follows a shipwrecked sailor facing the Sea Bear’s jaws and a camper hunted by the Grizzly Shark’s teeth. Packed with over-the-top gore and humor, it sets the stage for the 2016 Grizzly Shark trilogy, making it a cornerstone of Ottley’s indie work.
Current Value: Originally priced at $4.99, this low-print-run one-shot sold out quickly, becoming a collector’s gem. Signed by Ottley, NM copies fetch $50–$100 on eBay, with CGC-graded 9.8 copies hitting $150–$250 due to rarity and Ottley’s Invincible fame. Its cult status and scarcity drive steady demand.
Expected Value and Trends: Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark’s absurd premise, likened to Sharknado on steroids, captivates fans of quirky horror comics. Signed copies have appreciated 15–25% annually, boosted by Ottley’s growing profile via the Invincible animated series (Prime Video). By 2026, signed NM copies could reach $120–$180; CGC-graded versions may hit $300–$450 by 2030, especially if adapted or reprinted. Comic conventions or Invincible cross-promotion could further spike value.
Investment Opportunity: This signed Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark #1 is a collector’s dream, showcasing Ottley’s wild creativity and Howard’s bold art. Its low print run, cult following, and Ottley’s signature make it a savvy investment. Perfect for Invincible fans or absurd horror enthusiasts, it delivers laughs and shocks.
