The Star Wars books from Marvel are doing quite nicely. The first and second Vader runs, Dr Aphra, and Kanan the Last Padawan all have some decent returns. The Kanan run is especially sweet because I found all those in the quarter/dollar bins. I’m missing issue 11, but have the others.

Sunovabitch, Kanan #1 is $70?

These cartoon characters might start paying off...

Star Wars Tales #13 (2002) - the (not really) first appearance of Grogu.
Currently $35.
All because of one panel, a full decade before Lucas sold to Disney, and 17 years before Grogu appeared onscreen.

It’s really that price because of that sweet panel featuring The Deuce.

Ahsoka's first comic appearance.
I'm pretty sure I have it. I just need to find it.
Found it!

Not really "hidden," but I'm guessing X-Men Vol. 2 #25 is worth a fuckton more today than it was on Tuesday.
