Lethal Protector #1 [CGC 9.2]

Listen up, true believers! Venom: Lethal Protector #1 (cover-dated February 1993) is the symbiote-soaked debut of Venom’s first solo series, cooked up by David Michelinie and penciled by Mark Bagley with a red foil cover that’s shinier than Eddie’s teeth after a villainous monologue. In this issue, Venom ditches Spider-Man’s shadow, heading to San Francisco to play anti-hero—saving innocents one minute, scaring the pants off them the next. It’s Dirty Harry meets The Blob, but with more tendrils and fewer one-liners (until now!). Graded at CGC 9.2, this copy’s got Near Mint swagger—crisp, clean, and just a whisper away from perfection, like Venom after a quick polish. Ready to crawl into your comic stash? You bet it is!

Current Value: A Deal Stickier Than Venom’s Webby Hug!
As of March 24, 2025, Venom: Lethal Protector #1 [CGC 9.2] (standard red foil edition) is slinking around $100-$150, based on recent eBay sales and market trackers like GoCollect and GPAnalysis. That’s a sweet spot for a book this iconic—Venom’s first solo outing, foil cover bling, and a 9.2 grade that’s high enough to flex but low enough to keep your wallet from weeping. A CGC 9.8, for comparison, pulls $400-$500, so this 9.2 is your budget-friendly symbiote fix with room to grow. Why the buzz? Venom’s a collector’s darling, and this issue’s a ‘90s key that’s never out of style.

Expected Value: This Symbiote’s Ready to Slither Up the Charts!
Hold onto your tendrils, because this book’s got bite! The comic market’s projected to hit $26.75 billion by 2032 (per Fortune Business Insights), and Venom’s riding high—think Venom: The Last Dance (2024) vibes still rippling and whispers of more symbiote action in Marvel’s future (X is teasing a possible Venom 4 tie-in). With cons like San Diego Comic-Con 2025 looming and Venom’s fanbase growing stickier than ever, this 9.2 could ooze up to $200-$250 in a couple of years. If the symbiote hype spikes—say, a new movie or game drops—it might even claw closer to $300. It’s not Amazing Spider-Man #300 money, but it’s a ‘90s classic with teeth and a foil finish that’s pure collector catnip!
Why You Need This Faster Than Venom Can Say ‘We Are Hungry!’:
  • Symbiote Spotlight: Venom’s solo debut is so epic, it’s like Eddie Brock finally got his own reality show—Lethal Protector: San Fran Smackdown.
  • Foil Frenzy: That red foil cover shines brighter than Spidey’s spandex under a spotlight—pure ‘90s nostalgia gold!
  • 9.2 Sweet Spot: Near Mint with a hint of grit—this slab’s got character, like Venom after a tussle with the wall-crawler.
  • Bragging Rights: Snag this before it’s the “I could’ve had it” sob story you tell while munching stale popcorn at the comic shop.
Don’t let this one slink away! Grab Venom: Lethal Protector #1 [CGC 9.2] now before it bonds with someone else’s collection—or lands on eBay with a price that’ll sting worse than a symbiote slap. This comic’s fast, fierce, and dripping with ‘90s cool—nab it and let your shelf get a little lethal!
