The Metropolis Index, compiled by Manhattan-based gallery Metropolis Collectibles, tracks the value of 30 of the most coveted comic book titles. Over the last ten years, the comics index has increased about 13% on a compound annual basis -- roughly the same growth rate as the Dow. Who said old, vintage comics were not good investments?
But new titles are also growing in value, though on a far smaller scale. Top picks from the most recent Wizard magazine include: "Fantastic Four" #536 — featuring the return of the evil Dr. Doom who had been presumed dead for a number of years — and "Superman" #650.
According to Wizard, popular new titles, costing about $2.99, can double or triple in value in a matter of weeks.
