About
This app helps comic collectors estimate the value of comic books before buying or selling. It identifies issues, checks for reprints, and provides a fair-market value estimate with a clear verdict.
What's New in ComicScout
1.3.0
July 31, 2026
Lot scanning improvements • Scan a single book from inside a lot. If we couldn't identify one of the books, tap it and photograph that cover on its own — it becomes its own scan and updates the lot. • Fixed lot values. A lot could show one book's price as the whole lot's worth, and compare the asking price against it. Lots now show the real combined value and how many books were priced. • More covers. Books matched to a catalog issue now show their cover far more often. • Lot scanning is marked Beta in the app so you know when a result may be incomplete.
