Grading guides

The Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 in context

Why collectors care

The opening issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, cover-dated April 1985, the twelve-issue event that collapsed DC's multiverse into a single continuity and reset the entire line. It is the template every publisher-wide crossover since has followed.

How to identify it

Crisis on Infinite Earths #1, April 1985, by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. Confirm the 1985 first printing; the series has been collected and reissued many times.

Common mistakes

Buying a collected edition or later printing as an original. This is also a story key rather than a first appearance, so price it accordingly.

Grade considerations

A mid-80s book with strong high-grade survival, so value concentrates at CGC 9.8. Centering and spine ticks are the usual limiters.
