Okay loyal comic book enthusiasts, what is going to be the next hot back issue to pick up in the coming years? I know what you’re thinking, having a bit of foresight is actually akin to a super power. However, for me one of the best investments right now is Saga of the Swamp Thing #37, which is the debut of (The) John Constantine.
Just like the sports card market, which is driven by demand (got to love the old supply and demand point counterpoints), the number of fans a character has directly impacts the value of their appearances. The scarcer the comic, the more high priced (and hard to find) it becomes, think of it as a seller’s market. Key issues of books can relate greatly to the first appearance of a character, New Mutants #87, Incredible Hulk #181, and Uncanny X-Men #266 are just a few examples, like Swamp Thing #37 that pop into my head. (First appearances of Deadpool, Wolverine, and Gambit for those not following the logic.)

John Constantine is poised to gather a few more fans. There is a Justice League Dark movie in the works, which according to Screen Rant might make it to theaters before the actual Justice League movie, and of course, NBC is working on debuting a Constantine based television show. If done well, the result will be a few more fans of the old magic wielding chain smoking smart ass guy in a trench coat.
Hey the book is already pricey at the comic book store or on eBay, but you can find raw values anywhere from $20-$40. Graded copies can get out of hand quickly, especially the high grades, because there just aren’t too many of these to go around.
The short end is that putting $40 to $80 down on a character with a massive following already add in a television show and a movie (oh, I loved the Keanu Reeves “Constantine” BTW, not the same as Hellblazer, but he owned the character he was presented), and the sky could be the limit.
