believe it or not, comic book collecting is not only about chasing a handful of first appearances, it is a far a lot more diverse hobby than that. Yes, yes, yes, I know that there are plenty of people out there making noise about books exploding in price with no first appearances! To me, there is nothing a lot more tiresome than someone who talks down the value of a book because it lacks the first appearance. stay tuned for a follow-up post on that. In this series of articles, I will touch on niche collecting opportunities. In this piece, I will go over covers featuring bubble gum.
Ms. marvel #2 – Molina Variant
Kamala Khan has several big-time books and this one it ideal up there with her biggest. I honestly believe that the appeal of this book is due to her standing there on a roofing in new jersey blowing a bubble. I know that seems crazy but say what you want this cover is incredibly amazing and we all wish we had one.
Ms. marvel #31
While this book does not sell for anywhere near the price of Ms. marvel #2 it is no less cool. If you are seeking to have a Ms. marvel comic in your collection with her blowing a bubble and do not want to break the bank, then this book is for you! It is available with or without the trade dress.
Outlawed #1 – 1:50 Variant
Few books get people a lot more riled up these days than the Outlawed #1 1:50 Variant. I have said it before and I will say it again, Riri Williams attitude while blowing a bubble on the cover is simply awesome. given the scarcity of this book, it is going to be really hard to track down. It amongst the most premium priced of all of the bubble gum covers.
Young Avengers #2 Vol. Two
On this cover, we have America Chavez blowing a bubble looking kicked back and chill. This book is not an easy one to find as it is a 1:50 ratio variant on the print run in the 44,000 range. This likely indicates that there are less than 800 of these books out there and a lot more likely far fewer than that. prices on this book are pretty affordable given its scarcity.
All-New Ultimates #1 1:25
Bombshell is blowing a bubble on this cover. I think what I like a lot more is that she is doing her own thing and not making eye contact with the viewer. She is putting off a similar vibe as Riri is on Outlawed #1. When I started doing research on this comic, I was shocked to learn that merchants only bought around 30,000 copies. This indicates that there are likely less than 1,200 copies of this book our there. There are two copies provided on the GoCollect census for the book. This could be one of the rarest of these bubble gum covers
X-Men ’92 action figure Variant
You cannot talk about bubble gum covers without mentioning Jubilee. She has far too lots of to mention. I was unable to find her first cover blowing a bubble, but if you know leave the answer in the comments! This cover looks just like the toys I collected as a kid. There are two other covers for X-Men ’92 with Jubilee blowing bubbles. The Skottie young variant is a must-have!
Conclusion
Collecting comics must be about having fun. find a niche that speaks with you and go after it. These bubble gum covers are very amazing and a growing niche. several of these books are very expensive while others are cheap. Share other bubble covers you like in the comments.
