Modern Age Key Comics

We list 234 Modern Age key issues dated 1993 to 2026, from Marvel, Image and DC and 17 other publishers.

We count a book as Modern Age by its cover or on-sale year: 1993 onward.

They are ranked by how many copies CGC has graded, a rough measure of collector demand, then by release date. 188 of them have CGC census counts.

List as of October 9, 2026, from the CollectionPlnr catalog. Values are the median asking price of current eBay listings, not sold prices, checked between September 10, 2026 and October 8, 2026. For books before 1990 they cover every grade on offer.
