About the character
Frank Castle wages a one-man war on crime using lethal force after the murder of his family. A polarising anti-hero who has remained one of Marvel's most enduring characters since his first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #129.
What is a first appearance worth?
The Amazing Spider-Man #129 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 #129 valuation guide →
