WHY ADVERTISE?
It seems like we keep saying words to the effect of “It’s been another tumultuous year…” but we do indeed keep saying it because it’s true. However, some things definitely have stood the test of time, including the Guide! Since 1970, the Guide has been the Bible of serious comic book collectors and dealers alike.

Along the way, we have seen the top prices paid for comics go from hundreds of dollars to millions. During that time comic collecting has gone from a quiet hobby to one with huge pop culture impact.

The Guide isn’t just used once. Its readers refer to it over and over throughout the year, meaning your ad is seen over and over again. As we mentioned, The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #54 is scheduled to go on sale Wednesday, July 24, 2024.

FOR DIAMOND COMIC DISTRIBUTORS CUSTOMERS
Advertisers who are also Diamond Comic Distributors clients may also choose to bill their ads to the Diamond accounts. Simply download this form, complete it, and return it to us. Please let us know if you have any questions.

HOW THE EARLY BIRD RATES WORK

The Early Bird discount may be combined with the 10% multiple page (three or more pages of the same type) discount to get a 20% discount.

Editor’s Note: For The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #54, we’ve announced matching covers celebrating the 30th anniversaries of two indie comics icons, Lady Death and Shi. Illustrated by Billy Tucci with colors by Wes Hartman, the individual covers pair up to form one bigger image. They will be offered individually and in sets.
