Vintage Justice League of America
Comic Book Price Guide

Justice League of America comics have been around since the dawn of the 1960s. But the Justice League heroes were all favorites of the DC Comics stable long before that.

At last, the Justice League movie has driven early and key appearances to record levels. Check out the prices below, and get in touch if you have JLA comics to value.

Brave and the Bold #28:
Origin and First Appearance of the JLA

Brave and the Bold 28 is on our 100 Hot Comics list. Find out why you should invest in this book...

Early into the Silver Age, 18 months before Fantastic Four #1 launched the Marvel Age of Comics, Brave and the Bold #28 saw the first appearance of the JLA.

This is a very desirable comic book to find. Founding Justice League members were Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern and Flash.

It's easy to see why this super-team would have been popular with comic book fans -- something for everybody there! The comic also saw the first appearance of Snapper Carr.

Brave and the Bold #29: Second Appearance of the JLA

Record Sale:

Minimum Value:

The following month, Brave and the Bold #29 followed up the successful debut. Sci-fi was pretty popular at the time, so the robot cover would have pressed the right buttons.

Justice League of America comic book collectors want this to be at least very good condition before adding it to their collection. Lower-grade copies are definitely sluggish movers.

Brave and the Bold #30: Third Appearance of the JLA

Brave and the Bold #30
Third appearance of the JLA

Record Sale:
$35,500

Minimum Value:
$90

Have Yours Appraised

The third and final (for now) appearance of the JLA in Brave and the Bold #30 saw them fight Amazo.

You'll need to find this comic in solid mid-grade (around 5.0 to 7.0) to have something worth hundreds of a dollars, but a complete copy in poor shape is worth about $50.

JLA #1: Series Officially Launches

Justice League of America #1
Official launch of the super-team in October, 1960

JLA #1 is on our 100 Hot Comics list. Click to find out why!

A few months after the successful tryout in Brave and the Bold, the series got off to its official launch with Justice League of America #1.

If you've found a copy of this desirable comic, then you're in luck. Well done!

JLA Comic #2, #3, #4 and Mystery in Space #75 Values

JLA #2

Record Sale: $22,800
Minimum Value: $20

Have Yours Appraised

JLA #3

Record Sale: $13,150
Minimum Value: $40

Have Yours Appraised

JLA #2 continues the story from issue #1.

It's also got decent value, though nowhere near as exciting a find as #1. Unlike some Silver Age comic books, though, it's worth something, even in badly beaten-up shape.

JLA #3 is very hard to find in higher grades, because the black cover shows any imperfections on the surface.

There are only six copies known at 9.0 or higher (three are graded 9.4 by CGC).

The good news is, it has some value even in very good to fine shape.

Mystery in Space #75

Record Sale: $4,560
Minimum Value: $20

Have Yours Appraised

Here's a surprising switch of gears away from the JLA comic books.

Mystery in Space #75 is the story sequel to JLA #3. Technically it belongs in the series before issue #4 (see below).

There are many more high grade copies of this comic than JLA #3. It's a decent find, but far less valuable than JLA #4.

Justice League of America #4, #5, #9: Green Arrow Joins the Team; First Dr. Destiny; First JLA Origin

JLA #4
Green Arrow joins the JLA

Record Sale: $17,000
Minimum Value: $20

Here are some crucially important early issues in the Justice League history.

JLA #4: Green Arrow joins the super-team. This is an important milestone for the Justice League of America comic book.

It's not as valuable as issues #1-3, but it's certainly a decent find.

JLA #5

JLA #8

Record Sale: $4,150

JLA #5 is a classic comic book cover in my opinion. "When Gravity Went Wild" -- very cool idea! It's the first "new look" Wonder Woman, which fan boys like to collect.

It's also the origin and first appearance of Dr. Destiny, which gives the book some additional market value.

JLA #9
Origin of the Justice League of America

Record Sale: $7,800
Minimum Value: $30

Have Yours Appraised

JLA #9 is the first origin of the Justice League in comic books. This makes it a must-have for fans of the JLA comic books. It's also a very cool cover (like so many JLA covers from the early 60s).

We'd be delighted to offer you cash if you have a JLA #9 in your possession.
