About the character
Cletus Kasady bonded with Venom's offspring symbiote to become Carnage — more dangerous and psychotic than his predecessor. His first full appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #361 is a key copper age book.
What is a first appearance worth?
The Amazing Spider-Man #361 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full The Amazing Spider-Man #361 valuation guide →
