The 5 Most Valuable Venom Comics
Venom is one of Marvel’s most popular modern characters, but his most valuable comics come from The Amazing Spider-Man, where the symbiote and Eddie Brock first appeared. His value is concentrated in those late-1980s keys. Below are the most valuable Venom comics, ranked by current raw Near Mint (9.4) value and refreshed automatically from live market data.
Because Venom debuted in Spider-Man’s title before headlining his own, this guide includes his signature first appearances alongside his solo series.

The most valuable Venom keys
The Amazing Spider-Man #300 (1988) leads by a wide margin — the first full appearance of Venom (Eddie Brock), and one of the most valuable modern keys in the hobby. #252 (1984), which introduces the black symbiote costume, and #299 (1988), Venom’s cameo debut, follow at the top.
From his own titles, the most valuable modern Venom issues — led by early keys from the 2018 series — round out the list.
Why Venom value is concentrated
Venom’s collectible value is anchored by his origin in The Amazing Spider-Man: the black costume, his cameo, and his first full appearance. His many solo series launched in higher-print eras, so those issues are mostly common and inexpensive — which is why this guide leads with the Spider-Man keys.
Condition matters most for #300 and #252. Raw Near Mint (9.4) is the benchmark shown here; high-grade professionally graded (CGC) copies command premiums, especially for the first full Venom.
