Expected Value and Trends
Mark Spears Monsters is a rising indie hit, with the series’ first issue selling out multiple printings and Spears’ Spawn ‘77 adding to his hype. Third printings of key debuts often appreciate 50–100% within 1–3 years, as seen with Something Is Killing the Children #1 second print ($20–$100 NM). By 2027, NM+ copies could reach $15–$40, and CGC 9.8 copies may hit $80–$150, especially with potential media adaptations or horror genre surges tied to X-Men ’97 Season 2 (2025). Grading delays (ongoing into mid-2025) may tighten supply, driving prices higher. The series’ nostalgic horror and Spears’ art ensure long-term demand.
