As in past years, The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #56 offers a very limited number of fold-out ads. The prices on these ads are based on the number of pages in the fold-out with a minimum of four pages (two pages front and back) for the fold-out to work. Pricing starts at $11,500.

These fold-outs are eligible for the Early Bird discount, however, at present, there are only two of these spots available. No other premium placements are available at this time. The Guide returns to a summer release with its scheduled Wednesday, July 21, 2027 on-sale date.

First Cover Announced

Last week we announced Ghost Machine’s Geiger will be featured on the cover of the Guide. It’s a first for the studio, which publishes through Image Comics. Co-creator and artist Gary Frank provided the art and Brad Anderson supplied the colors.

More covers will be announced in coming weeks.

Early Bird Deadlines

The 10% Early Bird discount may be combined with the 10% multiple page discount (three or more pages of the same size and type) to get a 20% discount in total.

The Early Bird ad rates began on Friday, October 30 and will end on Friday, December 4, 2026 at 4 PM ET.

After that date and time, our Standard Rates will be in effect. To receive the Early Bird discount, ads must be paid in full by the deadline.

For payment, we take checks, money orders, wire transfers, and PayPal (there is a 5% surcharge on PayPal).

Update: Due to an unexpected problem with our credit card processing firm, at present we cannot accept credit cards as we normally do. We expect this situation to be corrected soon. This article will be updated when that happens.

Ad files must be received by Monday, February 1, 2027.

Why Advertise?

Some things definitely have stood the test of time, including the Guide! Since 1970, it has been the Bible of serious comic book collectors and dealers alike. Along the way, we have seen the top prices paid for comics go from hundreds of dollars to millions. During that time comic collecting has gone from a quiet hobby to one with huge pop culture impact.

Remember: The Guide isn’t just used once. Its readers refer to it over and over throughout the year, meaning your ad is seen over and over again!

Additional Info

As with previous years, all full-page advertisers receive a complimentary Directory Listing and a copy of the Guide as well. The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #56 is scheduled to go on sale Wednesday, July 21, 2027.
