Aliens vs. Predator #1 (Dark Horse Comics, 1990) is crashing into your collection like a xenomorph-Predator cage match on a budget spaceship! This is the comic that asked, ‘What if the galaxy’s ugliest hunter fought the galaxy’s ugliest hugger?’ and answered with a blood-soaked ‘YES.’ Randy Stradley’s script and Phill Norwood’s art bring you Ryushi—a planet where humans are dumb enough to colonize, Predators are itchy to trophy-hunt, and Aliens are just trying to RSVP to the facehugging party. The cover? A Mike Mignola masterpiece so epic it’s basically a ‘Come at me, bro’ poster for interspecies warfare. This isn’t just a comic—it’s the sci-fi smackdown that birthed a franchise and gave us all nightmares about dental hygiene.
Current Value: Right now, this beast is tearing up the market at $20-$30 raw in Very Fine or better—because who doesn’t want this clash of titans? Graded at a CGC 9.8? You’re looking at $80-$120, with some auctions pushing higher when collectors get nostalgic for 1990s Dark Horse glory. It’s the first issue of the original AvP series, and that Mignola cover alone is worth more than a chestburster’s therapy bill.
Expected Value Trends: Hold onto your pulse rifle, because this one’s got claws and jaws for days. With Marvel’s Predator push (Predator vs. Spider-Man drops April ’25) and the Alien franchise buzzing (thanks to Alien: Romulus still echoing), these Dark Horse classics are riding a wave of retro love. Short-term, expect raw copies to hit $35-$45 as hype builds. Long-term? If the upcoming crossover slaps or a new AvP film rumor solidifies, a 9.8 could stalk its way to $150-$200 by 2026. It’s the cornerstone of a crossover empire—think of it as the collectible equivalent of a Predator’s trophy spine.
Upcoming Events: Circle April 23, 2025, for Predator vs. Spider-Man #1—if Spidey’s tussle with a Yautja reignites Predator mania, this Dark Horse gem could see a surge. Plus, Alien: Romulus (August ’24) left fans hungry for more Alien action, and any whisper of an AvP reboot could send collectors scrambling. Comic-Con season might also spark a feeding frenzy—dealers love flexing these early issues, and bidders love overpaying for nostalgia.
So, snag Aliens vs. Predator #1 now—it’s the ultimate sci-fi slugfest where the only winner is your shelf. Bag it, board it, and brag about it like you just survived a double-dose of extraterrestrial terror. In this hunt, you’re the prey—and the prize!
