The Most Expensive Variant Spawn Comic Book Covers in 2026
The concept of variant comics is a modern one.
There are several kinds of variant comics:
- Retailer appreciation variants (granted for ordering multiple copies of a regular issue)
- Second printing variants (different covers to indicate the second printing)
- Regular variants (released to cash in on collector "completist" instinct)
Typically, the first kind are the most valuable, as they are limited, depending on orders of another comic book.
They are described as a ratio, indicating how many regular issues you had to order to obtain them.
Example: 1:10 (ten original copies), 1:25 (25 copies), 1:50, 1:100.
Some very rare ones exist, 1:250, 1:500, 1:1000 and even 1:4999.

This McFarlane sketch cover is extremely valuable. We don't know the value of a CGC 9.8 yet, because the last sale was in 2013.
