The Preacher #1 in context

Why collectors care

Preacher #1 (1995) is the first appearance of Jesse Custer, Tulip, and Cassidy, launching the acclaimed Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon Vertigo series. It is a beloved modern key.

How to identify it

A 1995 first printing from DC/Vertigo. Later printings exist; confirm the first-print indicia.

Common mistakes

Later printings are sold as firsts; check the indicia. The trade collection is not the single issue.

Grade considerations

High-grade first-printing copies are scarcer than the era suggests. Spine and corner wear are the usual grade-limiters.

Recorded sales by grade

5 recorded eBay sales, grouped by grade. Historical prices, not current asking prices.

Recorded sales by grade · how this summary is built+

Newest recorded sale: 2026-09-19. This summary describes stored history.

Inclusion

All 5 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.
