Top 10 Guardians of the Galaxy Comic Book Key Issues
Marvel Super-Heroes #18
1st Guardians of the Galaxy
Lowest price $50
Average price $250
Record price $19,000
The first appearance of the GOTG was in an obscure title in 1969. The lineup bears no relevance to the MCU movie team, but inspired the series of movies.
Marvel Preview #4: 1st Star-Lord
Lowest price $40
Average price $200
Record price $3,400
This book went from being a dollar bin magazine dud to a multi-hundred dollar item overnight when the original GOTG movie lineup was announced.
Marvel Preview #7
1st appearance of Rocket Raccoon
Lowest price $50
Average price $250
Record price $15,600
This magazine features the first appearance of Rocket Raccoon of Guardians of the Galaxy fame (see below for first comic book format appearance).
This is a classic Marvel horror comic from the 1970s, in magazine format to avoid the Comics Code Authority rules. Satana is a reaction to the popularity of Vampirella.
Incredible Hulk #271
1st Rocket Raccoon in comics
Lowest price $30
Average price $150
Recent 9.8 Sale $585
Record price $2,100

Fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies will know that he is a member of the team.
Tales to Astonish #13
1st Groot
Lowest price $500
Average price $2,000
Record price $20,000
Without Guardians of the Galaxy, this would have been just another random monster story.
Once the movies hit the MCU, values of Groot's first appearance rocketed. Rare in higher grade.
Iron Man #55
First Blood Brothers and Thanos
First Drax the Destroyer (Guardians of the Galaxy)
Lowest price $100
Average price $500
Recent 9.8 Sale $8,000
Record price $19,000
Thanos famously snapped his fingers and made half the universe die in the Endgame saga.

Record price $900
Strange Tales #180
