Darth Vader #20 Already Selling For $50 Two Weeks Before On Sale

Okay now, this is a wild one. Bleeding Cool has noticed a boom in recent comic book market activity over hot comics such as Catwoman #39, Hulk #3, Thor #20 and more that have seen people buy copies for three to four times the cover price on the day a comic book is released. Well, we have another comic to comic book stores on the 9th of February, Darth Vader #20 – specifically the Chris Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary variant. Now a number of these covers have been popular and have been sought down. But this one features both the Mandalorian and Grogu, otherwise known as Baby Yoda on the cover. And that has driven the madness of comic book speculation that have seen one store sell sixteen copies sold on eBay in advance for… fifty dollars each.

They were selling them for $24.99 each and sold five hundred copies at that price before they upped it a few days ago. Marvel Comics has already sent the comic, back to a second printing with the same cover with a silver border, for the 23rd of February.

There were no ordering restrictions of this, it was not a tiered, limited or exclusive cover, it's just that people have gone a bit mad. All the other 50th Anniversary covers seem to be available for around cover price, even Darth Vader #19 50th anniversary cover which was allocated – aside from the War Of The Bounty Hunters cover, which can go for around $25… but at least that was actually published.
