Most Expensive Wonder Woman Comics

Created in 1941 by William Moulton Marston (writer) and Harry G. Peter (artist), Wonder Woman — Diana of Themyscira — is one of the very few superheroes to have published continuously since her debut. The Wonder Woman vol.1 solo title ran from 1942 to 1986 (issues 1–329), before being relaunched in 1987 by George Perez (vol.2). Patty Jenkins's film starring Gal Gadot (2017) grossed $824 million worldwide, cementing the character's cultural standing.

This guide sticks to the verifiable: eBay medians from our estimator (eBay.fr + eBay.com, June 2026) and sale records documented by Heritage Auctions and CGC News. One important caveat: the label "Wonder Woman #1" is ambiguous — the vol.1 from 1942 is a Golden Age grail (auction records), while the vol.2 from 1987 (Perez relaunch) is a common, inexpensive modern comic available for under €15. Our eBay tool returns only 5 active listings for this blended number and cannot separate the two volumes — that figure will not be cited as a benchmark price.

Wonder Woman key issue ranking (real values, June 2026)

For Golden Age issues (1941–1942), auction records are the authoritative benchmark: these comics are too scarce on eBay to produce a reliable median. For Silver and Bronze Age issues, our estimator (eBay.fr + eBay.com) provides all-grades medians.

All Star Comics #8: the first appearance of Wonder Woman

Published in December 1941, All Star Comics #8 introduces Wonder Woman in a story written by William Moulton Marston and drawn by Harry G. Peter. Diana of Themyscira appears as a supporting character — she does not appear on the cover — but this first appearance is enough to make it one of the most valuable comics on earth. The eBay market lists this under a separate series and produces no usable median. Auction results are the only benchmark:

• All-time record: $1,620,000 for a CGC 9.4 copy, sold at Heritage Auctions on 16 June 2022 — the first comic centred on a female superhero to exceed one million dollars at auction.
• Previous record: $936,223 for the same grade, in 2017.
• A CGC 8.0 copy realised $180,000 in November 2023, illustrating the rise of mid-grade copies.

Sensation Comics #1: first cover, first dedicated series

Published in January 1942, Sensation Comics #1 marks two milestones at once: it is the first time Wonder Woman appears on the cover of a comic book, and the start of the series almost entirely devoted to her adventures. Marston and Peter establish her identity here as an independent heroine operating in the world of men. The sole CGC 9.6 copy — the highest-graded example in the census — realised approximately $399,100 at Heritage Auctions in 2017. The Overstreet Price Guide values a NM- (9.2) copy at $240,000. Low-grade raw copies circulate for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on condition.

Wonder Woman vol.1 #1 (1942): grail not to be confused with vol.2

In the summer of 1942, Wonder Woman #1 (vol.1) was published — the first issue of the eponymous solo series, once again by Marston and Peter. It ranks among the top 20 Golden Age comics according to the Overstreet Price Guide. A CGC 9.0 copy was sold for approximately $291,100 at Heritage Auctions in 2016. Mid-grade CGC copies trade in the thousands of dollars.

Critical distinction: "Wonder Woman #1" is an ambiguous label. The vol.1 from 1942 is the Golden Age grail described above. The vol.2 #1 from 1987 (George Perez's well-regarded relaunch) is a common modern comic available for a few euros on eBay. Our estimator returns only 5 active listings for this blended query — both volumes are mixed together, the signal is too thin, and the displayed median (~€10) reflects mostly the 1987 issue. Never conflate the two.

Silver Age and Bronze Age keys

Wonder Woman #98 (May 1958) opens the Silver Age chapter of the character: Robert Kanigher (writer) and Ross Andru (artist) rewrite Diana's origin story and introduce a new Steve Trevor. It is the first Silver Age Wonder Woman issue, a key-issue status now widely recognised among collectors. Our eBay estimator returns a median of €9 across 63 listings — a reliable signal for low-grade copies, though mid-grade CGC slabs command considerably more.

In 1968, Wonder Woman #179 launched the controversial "Diana Prince" era: Diana loses her Amazonian powers and becomes a civilian agent in the mould of Emma Peel. That chapter closed in 1973 with #204, in which her powers are restored following pressure from the National Organization for Women. Both Bronze Age issues attract collectors of the post-Silver Age era. Issue #204 has an eBay median of €9 across 28 listings. For #179, only 14 active listings are available — the signal is borderline and should be interpreted with caution.
