Don't know much about comics but here's one on Ebay. Although that doesn't mean anybody would actually pay this amount for it. I've seen some crazy ridiculous prices on there before.

Here is a link to a comic site for prices http://www.comicspriceguide.com/p-issues.aspx?EMkUwDGSS8UwwmH6rh+wnm4hASIIr4J3pjZR4HmuYqQ= . I would have it priced.

LOL I have that one bought it new as a kid and have managed to keep most of them over the years, I literally have trunks full of them all in the special bags, but over the years I have learned due to popularity some are worth more than others. Batman, Superman, all the primary super hero's are your best bet but for a real opinion go find and hit up a comic book store (AKA Graphic Novel) n they can usually tell you a lot.... Old does not mean valuable, heck I buy hand fulls of pristine comics with great story lines for 30 cents ea in the boxes under the main shelf.... no don't keep them but look them over and send them to solders in Iraq n such, n most in those boxes are in the 10 + year old class....

HI I was new to this site and ran across your book, I have about 5,000 in my collection this one is in about VG 5 to 7 FN fine condition based on the limited viewing i can see... the grading guide below is from overstreet guide 2007 value ranges from $209 to $ 327 now that's if its been professionally graded and is in sealed display, since its not you might expect to get 20% to 40% of that.. if you listed it on ebay depending on demand and collectible so between 20 to 40 dollars the market is VERY soft right now so you would be lucky to get 10 -20 hope that helps !!

I used the CGC Certification and Overstreet grading charts to compile this summary, I am not a professional grader. This is not meant to be definitive, But it will allow you to roughly estimate the condition of my comics. I have collected for 20+ years and I generally collect very good/ fine + or better comics,everyone grades a bit differently you must be the final judge. I am happy to send you more scans if needed.
