As of June 2026, the Spawn market is still driven by volume, not scarcity : Spawn #1 (May 1992) shows a €15 eBay median across 102 active listings, all editions and grades combined: a direct consequence of its record 1.7-million-copy print run. The only issue that truly stands out is Spawn #100 (€47 median, but on just 17 listings). The King Spawn reboot with Jamie Foxx keeps attention high, without (so far) creating any documented price spike. Here's the real state of the market.
Spawn debuted in 1992, squarely in the Modern age / Image era, so there is no "Silver Age" or "Bronze Age" grail of the character. The issues that matter are concentrated in a handful of first appearances and 1990s-2000s milestones.
This guide sticks to the verifiable: real-time eBay medians via our estimator, listing volume, and documented facts. When a figure isn't reliable (too few listings) or can't be verified, we say so rather than inventing it, and we make no numeric forecasts.
Spawn values in June 2026 (real eBay medians)
Values = median of active eBay listings, all editions and grades combined (our estimator, eBay.fr + eBay.com). Listing volume is a key indicator: the higher it is, the more reliable the median and the more liquid the issue.
| Issue | Significance | eBay median | Listing volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spawn #1 (May 1992) | First appearance of Spawn (Al Simmons) | €15 | 102 listings |
| Spawn #9 (1993) | First appearance of Angela (Neil Gaiman & McFarlane) | €13 | 100 listings |
| Spawn #5 (1992) | Early run, McFarlane era | €10 | 100 listings |
| Spawn #8 (1992) | Early run | €9 | 101 listings |

Trend #1: abundance caps #1
This is the defining fact of the Spawn market. At launch in May 1992, Spawn #1 sold 1.7 million copies, making it the best-selling independent comic in history (source: Heritage Auctions / SellMyComicBooks). The direct result: supply is enormous, and the "all grades combined" median stays at €15 across 100+ permanent listings.
The nuance that matters for 2026 is the edition gap. On the U.S. market, a CGC 9.8 direct edition trades around $85, while a far rarer CGC 9.8 newsstand is documented up to $367, with a record sale reported around $1,226 in the wake of the Jamie Foxx film announcements (sources: SellMyComicBooks, GoCollect). Grade and edition type make all the difference: not the issue number itself.
Trend #2: the premium on low-volume milestones
Second clear signal: issues with a more contained print run hold their value better. Spawn #100 (2000) shows the highest median in the panel, €47, but on just 17 listings: a thin volume that makes the median less solid than a figure drawn from 100 listings. Same logic for Spawn #300 (2019), which entered history as the longest-running creator-owned comic ever published (passing Cerebus ), at a €25 median on 30 listings.
- Honestly worth flagging: beyond #300, listing volume drops sharply (only a few units per issue). Our estimator flags this, and we don't cite a "precise" median below ~15 listings: the figure would be misleading.
- #9 (Angela): at a €13 median on 100 listings, it's one of the most history-laden issues (first Angela, written by Neil Gaiman) while staying very affordable: an underrated classic to watch.
Trend #3: the King Spawn reboot, a catalyst without a spike (yet)
The King Spawn film reboot: with Jamie Foxx in the title role, Jeremy Renner rumored as Detective Twitch, and Blumhouse (Jason Blum) producing: keeps media attention high. The script was announced as complete in early 2025, but no release date is officially confirmed to date (sources: Heroic Hollywood, GamesRadar, ScreenRant).
This is exactly the kind of uncertainty that pushes high-grade #1 newsstands up occasionally, without yet moving the overall median (held down by the abundance of raw copies). Our read, grounded in the data: track the film's schedule, but don't buy any issue betting on a spike that nothing yet documents.

Frequently asked questions
Launched in May 1992, it sold 1.7 million copies, making it the best-selling independent comic in history. Supply is huge, so the value across all conditions stays low.
Spawn #100 (2000) shows the highest median of the panel studied, but on only 17 listings. That low volume makes the figure less solid than one drawn from hundreds of copies.
It is Angela's first appearance, with a script by Neil Gaiman, yet it remains very accessible. It is an undervalued classic loaded with history.
On the US market, a high-grade newsstand copy is far scarcer than the direct edition and sells for clearly more. Grade and edition type make all the difference, not the issue number itself.
The film, with Jamie Foxx and a Blumhouse production, keeps attention high, but no release date is officially confirmed. No spike is documented, so it is better to follow the schedule without buying on a bet.
