I may buy this because I collect comics and I need to know how much they are worth

A Great way to Price Your Old Comics
Written and assembled by the team of writers and editors who used to publish the magazine Comic Values Monthy (as well as Triton, and Toy Values Monthly). This guide offers sections on each of the major comicbook companies, as well as Golden Age Comics, smaller Color and B&W publishers. Very well put together, they have been issuing this guide since 1994.

Comics Values 2000 is a great help
I am new at selling comic books a task you can say was "left to me". I have a large inventory of underground comics and it was a great pleasure to find a section on the subject in this book. I refer to it every day. ... Read more

Information you need? This book has it!
I liked this book because it was easy to find the cards I wanted to look at in a short amount of time. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the prices were alittle high on the easy to get cards and in outer space for the rares and holo's. I find that its a great book though for a quick price check when I am buying or trading cards. I wish they would publish a updated book with all the new cards in it.

Really Good Book
This book tells you how much all the cards are including the new kinds of Pokemon. ... Read more

Interesting Look at American Through Comics
William W. Savage, Jr. had led the way in this brief volume, colourfully titled Commies, Cowboys and Jungle Queens (original title Comic Books and America, 1945 - 1954). The author was among the first the look at the content of the comic books, read and passed around by millions of children and teenagers and not just a few adults, in terms of their comments on the culture which they reflected, such as the wonderful look at the Korean conflict as reflected in the comics. This book led to the brilliant and highly recommended Comic Book Nation by Bradford W. Wright and for that it should be thanked. This particular volume by William Savage is well-written, insightful, and often very funny. Its main drawback is its brevity and lack of more comic panels for illustrative purposes. All that aside, this is an enjoyable read. ... Read more

Good alternative to Overstreet
The only guide that has the guts to list Underground comix in detail. This guide also has an easier format to flip through than Overstreet, which has become swamped with ads.

Not a complete listing, but for most collectors, this one will do quite well.

Prices were accurate
This book had many comic titles that are not found in most of the other guides and the prices were fairly accurate. It was Much more accurate than Overstreet's guide.

This guy needs to check his prices!
Where is Malloy getting his values from? I remember when he had Comics Values Monthly, the values were right on. But now it seems like he just pulls prices out of thin air. If you want to determine a fair value for your comics, look elsewhere. ... Read more

good backup to Overstreet
The guide provides something key: the actual month/years of most individual issues. It says it covers all comics from 1961 on, but is far from complete...many long-run issues (i.e. Ghostly Haunts) not listed. The publishers seem committed to becoming a true competitor to Overstreet...I wish them well. Prices are more in line with reality than Overstreet, especially for NM copies. ... Read more

comic books for sale???
I found 2 boxes of old comic books probaly from the 60's and 70's are they worth anything or can I throw them away??

INACCURATE AND INCOMPLETE
I purchased the 98 edition of this book, and unless it has been completely rewritten, it is very inaccurate. Some titles were completely left out of the book. Some titles did not have every issue listed. I purchased this book to use as an inventory guide. It fails miserably. I have had to completely abandon it.

Inflated, inaccurate pricing.
I found most prices for books I own (or was looking to buy) not to be accurate. The Overstreet price guide is much more realistic when you go to buy and sell (especially when you sell!). I literally threw this guide away and bought the Overstreet. Overstreet is not 100% accurate, but it is much,much closer to the truth. This industry has enough problems without complicating it more with several different price guides each touting completely different prices... ... Read more
