Expected Value and Investment Trends
The Wizard Press #1/2 is poised for strong growth. Lady Death’s cult following and the Chaos! Comics revival through Coffin Comics fuel demand for limited editions. The Wizard collaboration’s scarcity, with variants like the Cloth Edition, enhances its value. Chaos! Comics specials have appreciated 10–15% annually, and with 2025 conventions like C2E2 boosting visibility, NM copies could reach $50–$100 by mid-2026, with premium variants hitting $120–$200. Rumored Lady Death media projects, such as an animated series, could further spike interest, especially for key Crucible tie-ins.
