Comic Book Value & Price Guide

Features

That longbox in the closet has been sitting there for years. You know something in it is worth real money. You just don't know which issue, which printing, or how much. ComicLens tells you. Point your camera at a cover and the app identifies the series, issue number, publisher, year and variant, then records an estimated value straight into your collection. Comics, graphic novels and manga volumes all go in the same catalog. HOW IT WORKS • Scan a cover with the camera, or pick a photo from your library • ComicLens reads the cover and fills in series, issue, publisher, year and variant for you • Add condition, a grading note and an estimated value, then save • Know the book already? Type a listing title and the app completes the rest WHAT YOUR COLLECTION IS WORTH Every comic you save carries an estimated value, and the Insights dashboard totals it for you. See the value of the whole collection on one screen, a breakdown by publisher, how many key issues you own, and how many books are graded. Update a value whenever the market moves and the totals follow. KEY ISSUES, VARIANTS AND GRADES • Flag first appearances, origin issues and milestone numbers so they never disappear into a long list • Log a variant cover separately from the standard printing, because they are not the same book • Record a self-reported grade and grading company on any slabbed book • Write down why an issue matters to you, in your own words MANGA AND GRAPHIC NOVELS TOO Scan an English-language manga volume and ComicLens identifies the printed title, volume number and publisher the same way it handles a single issue. First printings, omnibus editions and trade paperbacks all live in the same searchable library as your floppies. FIND ANY BOOK IN SECONDS • Group your collection your own way, by run, era, publisher or a system only you understand • Search across title, issue, publisher, series, variant, condition, grade and your own notes • Everything is stored on your device, so the catalog opens instantly with nothing to load WHO USES COMICLENS Collectors emptying a childhood longbox before deciding what to keep. Readers who pick up new issues every Wednesday and want them logged before they pile up. Anyone who inherited a run and needs to know what is actually in the box. Dealers cataloging stock before a show. The library scales from one shortbox to a wall of them. FREE TO START ComicLens works from the moment you install it. An optional Pro upgrade raises the daily save limit for collectors working through a large backlog. The subscription name, length and current price, plus any trial terms, are shown live on the purchase screen before you buy, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple account settings. ABOUT ESTIMATED VALUES Values in ComicLens are entered and reviewed by you and are informational only. They are not a professional appraisal, an insurance valuation, or a promise of what a book will sell for. Condition and grade fields are self-reported and are not verified by CGC, CBCS, PGX or any other grading service. ComicLens does not buy, sell or broker comics. It is a personal catalog and value tracker, nothing more. Scan your first cover today and find out what is actually in that box.
