If the Fantastic Four weren’t created, we most likely wouldn’t have any of the Marvel characters that we enjoy today.
14. Whiz Comics #2 – $281,000
Listed as the issue #2, Whiz comics #2 is a little strange.
Issue #1 was only used in promotional advertising and never actually released to the public, so in reality, #2 is the public’s #1.
It features the first appearance of Captain Marvel, or Shazam in today’s world, to avoid any confusion with Marvel’s own superhero – Captain Marvel!
The popularity of this comic book and its exclusivity meant it managed to sell for $281,000 in 2012.
15. Avengers #1 – $274,000
The 1963 comic book, Avengers #1, features Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp.

This first issue previously sold for $274,000, which is unbelievable when you think about how much money that actually is! But, there are some mega fans out there, and everything has its price!
