Some of the famous artists to work on these variants include Adam Hughes, Turner, Bermejo, Lee and Jones.

While DC doesn't have the same impact as Marvel when it comes to variant comic covers, it has amassed a large catalog of great variants.

Some of the big milestone issues, such as Action Comics #1000, feature many different variants by a plethora of artists. Collecting them all would be challenging!

Most Valuable DC Comics Variant Covers

Batman #608 Retailer Appreciation Variant (2002)

Lowest price $650

Average price $1,000

Recent 9.8 Sale $5,735

Record price $10,000

This is one of the more popular retailer incentive variant cover issues. The record sale of $10K is an outlier. It occurred in 2025. But still, there is strong historical support around the $5K level.

Wonder Woman #28
G. J. Jones Steampunk variant

Lowest price $500

Average price $800

Recent 9.8 Sale $2,300

Record price $2,675

There are just 108 copies in the census. Jones rarely signs, so if you can get a SS copy then it's worth holding onto. The recent sale is close to the record.

Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23 Variant Cover by Adam Hughes (2006)

Lowest price $200

Average price $450

Recent 9.8 Sale $1,750

Record price $1,980

Although this is far from the rarest of the variant comics out there, its strong sales prices, even in a depressed market, show the enduring appeal of Adam Hughes covers.

Dell'Otto Superman/Batman #7
French Variant Edition

Lowest price $75

Average price $200

Recent 9.8 Sale $1,850

Record price $1,850

This cover reminds me of the Heath Ledger Joker against the Dark Knight Rises Batman.

Red Hood: Lost Days #1
Mattina variant

Lowest price $80

Average price $140

Recent 9.8 Sale $400

Record price $1,800

You are probably aware that Red Hood is The Joker. This Mattina variant has fallen far from its record sale, but is still sought after by collectors.

Teen Titans #75 Variant Cover Adam Hughes (2009)

Lowest price $200

Average price $350

Recent 9.8 Sale $1,400

Record price $1,700

There is probably a legal minimum coverage for supervillain costumes, but this cover must flirt with the margin!

Harley Quinn #1
Bulletproof Comics Pink Edition by Dell'Otto

Lowest price $120

Average price $200

Recent 9.8 Sale $77

Record price $1,500

The biggest faller on the variant comics list, down to just $77 from a high of $1,500. OUCH!

Batman #1 Capullo Sketch Variant

Lowest price $80

Average price $200

Recent 9.8 Sale $450

Record price $1,375

It's hard to believe that the New 52 happened 15 years ago. This book's heyday has come and gone, but it is still a cool and desirable variant comic.

Harley Quinn #1 Variant Cover by Adam Hughes (2014)

Lowest price $100

Average price $200

Recent 9.8 Sale $695

Record price $1,350

A famous variant comic from the time when Harley was a movie favourite. Has fallen in value since.

Wonder Woman #38
Finch Variant

Lowest price $150

Average price $300

Recent 9.8 Sale $900

Record price $1,000

David Finch's sexy variant cover makes this Wonder Woman comic a must-own for collectors.

Gotham City Sirens #1 (2009)
Catwoman variant cover

Lowest price $100

Average price $150

Recent 9.8 Sale $325

Record price $800

Another post-pandemic crash victim. Ouch if you bought at the top of the market!

Batman #655 (2006)
Kubert Variant Cover

Lowest price $50

Average price $80

Recent 9.8 Sale $270

Record price $750

One of the most common variants, with well over 1,000 copies in the census.

Wonder Woman #600 1:25 Variant Cover (2010)

Lowest price $50

Average price $100

Recent 9.8 Sale $245

Record price $500

There are two versions of this homage to Sensation Comics #1. This is the colour version.

The sketch version is a 1:75 variant, but surprisingly they sell for similar amounts.

Wonder Woman #600 Sketch Cover (2010) by Adam Hughes

Lowest price $100

Average price $180

Recent 9.8 Sale $205

Record price $455

This 1:75 variant is far scarcer than the colour version. Yet the sale prices are almost identical. A missed opportunity?

There are just 78 in the CGC census versus 190 of the colour edition.

Adventure Comics #515
Bermejo Variant

Lowest price $30

Average price $80

Recent 9.8 Sale $260

Record price $900

Another variant cover which has fallen hard since the pandemic bubble burst.

A recent 9.6 sale is actually higher, at $300, so a sale of $450 might be achievable for 9.8.

Superman/Batman  #4
Turner German Variant

Lowest price $200

Average price $400

Record price $2,250

With just 42 copies in the CGC census, this is a genuinely rare Turner variant.

No 9.8 sale has been recorded since 2019. A recent 9.6 of $866 supports the prices.
