Creative Cat Productions | The comic book speculators market in the early 1990s was out of control @creativecatproductions | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
In the early 90s the sales of comic books went through the roof, breaking all kinds of records. Sadly, this wasn’t as much a function of a quality product as much as it was marketing gimmicks that promised to make every other issue some kind of collectible extravaganza: issue number ones - millions of them - printed with numerous collectible covers, featuring reboots, or new characters. Shoot, they even killed off Superman, for a brief period. The result of this extravagance was an implosion that would send shock waves throughout the comic book industry, collapsing sales, putting companies out of business, and closing shops all throughout the land…..shops that invested in millions upon millions of unsold inventory, all promising the same thing……”being valuable someday”
