About the character
The dark god of Apokolips, obsessed with the Anti-Life Equation and the total subjugation of all free will, Darkseid is one of DC's most powerful and terrifying villains. First full appearance in New Gods #1 as part of Jack Kirby's Fourth World.
What is a first appearance worth?
The New Gods #1 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 New Gods #1 valuation guide →
