Written and illustrated by Mark Spears (Spawn, Power Rangers, Spawn ‘77), this issue, released June 4, 2025, delivers the fifth chapter of a gripping saga based on Spears’ hit trading card series. Set in the early 1980s, a group of kids—Richie, Mikey, and Spaz—rush to a gas station to call the sheriff after witnessing terrors at Ol’ Man Crowley’s estate. A savage werewolf stalks them, threatening their survival. Meanwhile, Igor tends to a green-skinned guest upstairs, giving her a bold, rebellious haircut. Key characters include the kids, the Monster Slayer, detectives, Igor, and monstrous entities like the werewolf. The Fight Cover A, depicting a thrilling werewolf clash, amplifies its collectible appeal.
The First Printing The Fight Cover A, retailing at $5.99, commands $10–$30 in NM+ condition on eBay, fueled by the series’ sell-out status and a 42,000-copy print run for Issue #3, with #5 expected to be lower (est. 20,000–30,000). CGC 9.8 graded copies fetch $50–$120, with limited exclusives like the Kali Foil Variant (300 copies) selling for $20–$50 NM. By comparison, the Cover B Haircut Variant sells for $10–$25 NM, and the Cover G Metal Variant retails at $50–$150 NM. The Cover A’s value aligns with Mark Spears Monsters #1 Cover A ($5–$20 NM), offering a key entry point.
Mark Spears Monsters is an indie phenomenon, with sold-out printings, a Kickstarter campaign, and film/TV adaptation buzz. First printings of key issues often appreciate 50–100% within 1–3 years, as seen with Something Is Killing the Children #1 ($50–$200 NM). By 2027, NM+ copies could reach $30–$60, and CGC 9.8 copies may hit $120–$250, driven by horror genre hype from X-Men ’97 Season 2 (2025) and Spears’ rising profile. Grading delays (ongoing into mid-2025) and low print runs may further boost prices. The series’ nostalgic horror and Spears’ art ensure long-term demand.
The Mark Spears Monsters #5 The Fight Cover A in NM+ blends affordability, artistic prestige, and narrative intensity. Spears’ dynamic werewolf art and the issue’s thrilling werewolf chase make it a collector’s prize. Ideal for fans seeking a key indie issue or investors eyeing Keenspot’s breakout hit, this comic offers strong upside.
