Comic Value Changes: Camp Candy #1
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.
Animated television shows have long been fertile ground for comic book adaptations. Their audiences are typically kids (or the young at heart) who enjoy further adventures in comic book form. Some celebrities have also been the stars of comic book adaptations. Camp Candy was a comic series that combined the two: a comic based on a cartoon that starred comedic genius John Candy.
Overstreet Pricing Editor Yolanda Ramirez did a recent valuation update on the first issue and found that it has seen a major increase in value.
In the 1980s and early ‘90s, John Candy was a king of comedy. He was boisterous, bumbling, and good natured. Candy played guys who were architects of chaos, and yet so likeable or well intentioned that they were heroes in the end. He made adults and children laugh in equal measure in films like The Great Outdoors, Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
His popularity with kids was the basis for the animated series, Camp Candy. The show is set at a fictional summer camp run by John Candy, who teaches kids outdoor skills and tells them humorous stories. The comedian voiced his character and produced the show, which ran for three seasons from 1989 to 1992.
The Camp Candy comic book debuted in May 1990 and ran for six issues through October of that year. When Ramirez did a comic valuation, she raised the price of Camp Candy #1 to $112 in Near Mint-/9.2 condition. It has grown a massive 1,766% in value. Ramirez also updated the values at higher grades, noting that a copy at GEM/10.0 is now up to $560.
