Modern Age comics
Modern Age comics, 1992 to today: Image and Spawn, the foil-cover boom, the Ultimate line, and today's variant covers and blind bags. The era begins with the founding of Image Comics in 1992, during the boom years of foil, hologram and polybagged covers, and runs through the Ultimate line, the big crossover events, and the variant covers, ratio variants and blind bags of current publishing. It is also where most new collectors start, because so many characters from film and television first appeared in these years. It's the largest part of our stock by far: Marvel first, then DC, Image, Dark Horse and IDW. You'll find recent first appearances, tie-ins to films and TV shows, cover variants that are hard to find in shops after release week, and complete runs that save you hunting issue by issue. Most copies are in high grade, and each listing names the cover or variant and shows the copy you'll receive, front and back. If a run is missing an issue, the listing says so. Filter by publisher, format or price, or sort by newest to see the latest additions first.
