Updated April 2026. Bronze Age Marvel horror has been the breakout collecting niche of the last 18 months. Series that were trading at modest prices through the 2010s have seen sustained price growth as collectors realize that the supply of true high-grade copies is genuinely scarce — and the genre’s connection to Marvel screen adaptations keeps the demand pipeline full.
Here are the most-watched Bronze Age Marvel horror keys in 2026, with realistic 2026 price ranges by grade. All ranges based on recent sold-listing data from major auction sites and our own inventory turnover.
Tomb of Dracula #10 (1973) — First Blade
The crown jewel of Bronze Age Marvel horror. First appearance of Eric Brooks (Blade) by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan. The Wesley Snipes Blade trilogy made this book famous in the 90s/2000s, and Marvel’s continued use of the character has kept demand sustained.
- CGC 9.8: $9,000–$13,000 (rare; only a few hundred census)
- CGC 9.6: $3,500–$5,500
- CGC 9.4: $1,800–$2,800
- CGC 9.0: $900–$1,400
- CGC 8.0: $450–$650
- CGC 6.0: $200–$300
Werewolf by Night #32 (1975) — First Moon Knight
First appearance of Marc Spector (Moon Knight) by Doug Moench and Don Perlin. The Disney+ Moon Knight series with Oscar Isaac drove a major price spike in 2022, and the book has held those gains. With more Moon Knight content rumored, this is one of the most-watched Bronze Age keys.
- CGC 9.8: $5,500–$8,500
- CGC 9.6: $2,200–$3,200
- CGC 9.4: $1,100–$1,700
- CGC 9.0: $550–$850
- CGC 8.0: $280–$420
- CGC 6.0: $130–$200
Marvel Spotlight #5 (1972) — First Ghost Rider
First appearance of Johnny Blaze as Ghost Rider, by Roy Thomas, Gary Friedrich, and Mike Ploog. Despite two Nicolas Cage films that left mixed legacies, the underlying character demand has never dropped. With persistent rumors of an MCU Ghost Rider integration, this book has serious upside.
- CGC 9.8: $4,000–$6,000
- CGC 9.6: $1,600–$2,400
- CGC 9.4: $850–$1,250
- CGC 9.0: $450–$700
- CGC 8.0: $230–$340
- CGC 6.0: $110–$170
Tomb of Dracula #1 (1972)
The series debut. Not as iconic as TOD #10 (no Blade), but a beautiful book and the foundation of the entire Bronze Age Marvel horror line. Strong long-term hold, especially in high grade where copies are scarce.
- CGC 9.8: $2,800–$4,200
- CGC 9.6: $1,100–$1,700
- CGC 9.4: $600–$900
- CGC 9.0: $320–$480
- CGC 8.0: $170–$260
- CGC 6.0: $80–$130
Frankenstein #1 (1973) and Werewolf by Night #1 (1972)
The other major series debuts of the Bronze Age Marvel horror boom. Both undervalued relative to TOD #1 right now and worth watching. Werewolf by Night #1 in particular has been climbing steadily as Moon Knight nostalgia spreads up the run.
- Werewolf by Night #1 CGC 9.8: $1,800–$2,600
- Werewolf by Night #1 CGC 9.4: $400–$600
- Frankenstein #1 CGC 9.8: $900–$1,400
- Frankenstein #1 CGC 9.4: $250–$380
Where to Buy Bronze Age Marvel Horror Right Now
For investment-grade copies, stick with authenticated graded comics in CGC or CBCS slabs — the slab eliminates condition risk and makes resale much easier.
