Thor (2020) #9 (November 2020), written by Donny Cates with art by Nic Klein and cover art by Greg Hildebrandt for this exclusive variant, is a Modern Age issue in Marvel’s Thor (Vol. 6) series, rated T+. Graded CGC 9.8 (Near Mint/Mint), this Hildebrandt Cover Variant (LGY #735) features a stunning depiction of Thor, showcasing the legendary artist’s iconic style, known for his Star Wars and Lord of the Rings work.

Value & Trends
  • Current: CGC 9.8 Hildebrandt Variant copies of Thor #9 sell for $50–$100 on eBay, with raw NM copies at $15–$30 and VF at $10–$20, per GoCollect and eBay data. Standard covers (e.g., Olivier Coipel) sell for $5–$15 in NM, while other variants (e.g., Larroca, Suayan) range from $20–$50 in CGC 9.8. The Hildebrandt Variant’s premium stems from the artist’s fame and limited availability. CGC 9.9 or 10.0 copies are rare, potentially fetching $150–$300. Newsstand editions are less common but don’t significantly impact this issue’s value.


  • Trends: Thor’s MCU prominence (Thor: Love and Thunder, 2022), Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) hype, and Donny Cates’ acclaimed run could drive 15–20% price hikes in 6–12 months. CGC 9.8 Hildebrandt Variants may hit $100–$150 in 2–3 years if Donald Blake or Cates’ arcs gain MCU focus. Comic-Con 2025 exclusives or Hildebrandt signings could spike demand.
  • Market: Hildebrandt’s variants, Cates’ Thor run, and high CGC grades are highly sought after, especially for collectors of Thor or variant cover art. The “Prey” arc’s significance and Hildebrandt’s legacy (Star Wars poster fame) fuel strong interest.
