The secondary comic market regularly ebbs and flows as book sales go through moderate changes, and occasionally see big jumps (or falls) in value. Overstreet Access tracks these changes through diligent research into the market and via assessment of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide marketing reports. Those changes are routinely updated on OverstreetAccess.com’s Recent Value Changes page, which can be viewed with a membership to the website.

Comic book crossovers have been around for nearly as long as comics themselves. Heroes from the same publisher cross paths, occasionally resulting in ongoing team-ups like Green Lantern and Green Arrow. There are team-ups between different publishers, putting heroes like Spider-Man and Superman in the same book. Some crossovers are odd combinations that strangely work, for instance when the Archie crew were hunted by the sci-fi movie villain Predator.

In 2014, Dynamite Entertainment and Vertigo brought together one of the earliest masked vigilantes with a newly created spaghetti Western hero in Django/Zorro. Overstreet Pricing Editor Yolanda Ramirez did a recent valuation update on their crossover, and noted that the first issue has seen a big rise in value.

The seven-issue comic about the sword wielding hero and the star of Django Unchained is set several years after the movie. Django is working as a bounty hunter when he meets Diego de la Vega, aka Zorro. He is fascinated by the wealthy man, and when Django agrees to act as Diego’s “bodyguard” they are soon drawn into a fight to free the local indigenous people from servitude.

The book was written by Django creator and the film writer/director Quentin Tarantino with Grendel creator Matt Wagner. Django/Zorro is the official sequel to Django Unchained and is the first comic book sequel based on a Tarantino film.

Django/Zorro #1 (November 2014) has seen a recent value change that has taken the Near Mint-/9.2 grade up to $100, marking a 2,400% increase. The first issue featured seven variant covers, all of which have grown in value to some degree. Variant cover G, which is a virgin variant of the cover A art by Esteve Polls has also jumped up to a $100 value at the 9.2 grade. The other variants have all risen in value with 9.2 grades now priced at $15 to $50, depending on the cover.
