The New Gods #1 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of Orion and the New Gods, cover-dated February-March 1971, written and drawn by Jack Kirby. It is the centerpiece of the Fourth World saga and introduced a mythology DC still builds on.
How to identify it
New Gods #1, 1971, by Jack Kirby. Confirm the 1971 first volume: New Gods has been relaunched several times with new #1s.
Common mistakes
Later-volume #1s sold at 1971 prices. The Kirby art and the cover price identify the original.
Grade considerations
Early-70s newsprint with a bold cover that shows handling. Spine stress and tanning limit most copies.

Recorded sales by grade · how this summary is built+
Newest recorded sale: 2026-09-22. This summary describes stored history.
Inclusion
All 6 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
| Grade | Sales | Included | Set aside |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGC 9 | 3 | 3 | 0 |
| CGC 3.5 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CGC 7.5 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CGC 8.5 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
