I have searched for several different comics such as The Dark Phoenix Saga X-Men Classics, Superman The Man Of Steel, Superman The Omega Man and many others. What should I do to get correct pricing for comics when this happens?

99% of the time they are in the database. It usually means there is a minor error with the search. Sometimes it helps to shorten the title or to make sure you're using the correct title. That isn't always on the cover! The first page usually has an indicia which says the correct name. That is what we base everything on.

Superman: The Man of Steel

That should get you started.

If I may interject - are we having fun yet???


An example from your list is "X-Men Classics". You can look at the publication data in the interior of the comic (the copyright or indica) for the "official" name. Is it X-Men Classic? X-Men Classics? X-Men/Classics? X-Men: Classics? Classics: X-Men? It get ridiculous the variations - but that is up to the publisher.

It is easier to simply search "X-Men" . BTW - there is an X-Men Classic and an X-Men Classics - both were actual titles.


Welcome to the fun part of the hobby!!! Yeah!
