CPV Comics

I’ve been very busy adding new stock throughout the month of February as I get down to processing all the books I picked up over the holidays. You’ll find a number of new Canadian Price Variant key issues available on the site from the Top 100 Collection including:

• Batman #357 – First appearance of Jason Todd
• Batman #353 – Classic Joker cover
• Detective Comics #524 – First full appearance of Killer Croc and second appearance of Jason Todd
• Marvel Graphic Novel #4 – First appearance of The New Mutants, available as part of a lot with the first 6 issues of the New Mutants series.
• New Mutants #26 – First appearance of Legion
• Wolverine #2, 3 and 4

I’ve also added a couple of other major key issues that pre-date Canadian Price Variants, including among others:

• Amazing Spider-Man #194 – First appearance of Black Cat
• Daredevil #181 – Death of Elektra at the hands of Bullseye
• Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos #13 – First Captain America and Nick Fury team-up

A few small changes to the site design. Firstly, the search box is now responsive and will provide real-time search results within the box which should help cut down on the number of clicks required to get to what you want. Secondly, the browse functionality in the sidebar menu is now a searchable drop-down, to once again get you where you want to be faster.

In other news, we’re now offering International Shipping to most of Europe as well as Australia and New Zealand!

New stock since the last update:

• Significant batches of Daredevil, Iron Man, Superman, Swamp Thing and X-Men Canadian Price Variants among nearly 100 new comics added.
• A couple of new additions to the Top 100 Collection including Power Pack #1 and Secret Wars #1.

I’ve added a new page to the site – a list of the Top 100 Canadian Price Variant comics according to the 2020 CPV Price Guide for 1980’s Canadian Price Variants along with links to those available for purchase here at cpvcomics.ca. It will be updated regularly. I’m in possession of a whole bunch of the Top 30 that will be added to the site in the coming weeks.

Among the new stock since my last update:

• A number of non-Marvel/DC Canadian Price Variants including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Disney and New Kids on the Block.

Some changes on the site this month! First, I’ve reduced the number of categories to speed up the site a little bit. So a number of comics have been combined into “Other DC Comics” and “Other Marvel Comics” categories. Also, I’ve bundled some comics where I have the complete run and am now only selling those issues as a run. Among the new stock this month, the entire run of Blue Devil, almost entirely Canadian Price Variants!

What a busy end of November and early December! First off, the new CPV Price Guide from the Rare Comics Blog is now live! I sold more comics In the weeks that followed its release than I did in all of 2019 prior to November! I’ve also just revised my shipping fees to the United States to make it a little cheaper for bigger orders.

West Coast Avengers #1 (Volume 2) Canadian Price Variant – First regular series for the team

Six months into the site and I decided that the way the comics were organized just wasn’t working for me. I didn’t like having the CPVs and non-CPVs separated into totally different sections of the site because I wanted to be able to see where full runs were complete but not necessarily entirely CPVs or otherwise. So I’ve now combined everything together! Browsing the store is as simple as selecting DC or Marvel. Within each category, you will now find a filter in the top left corner of the sidebar where you can select to see only CPVs, Direct Edition or US Newsstand issues.

With the reorganization, I’ve also added the first 22 issues and 2 annuals of Batman and the Outsiders, nearly all in VF/NM condition! There’s more coming too – I have pretty much the entire run of the series. Stay tuned!
