- First published artwork for DC Comics by Todd McFarlane
- One-page pin-up of Infinity Inc with a note from writer Roy Thomas that reads:
- "we thought you'd like to see a pin-up by newcomer Todd McFarlane (a young Canadian living in the state of Washington) who has volunteered to lend us a very talented hand for an issue or two. Todd's work has appeared in Marvel's Coyote and elsewhere. Enjoy!"

- Newsstand Edition, indicated by the barcode
- 1st full appearance of Venom
- 💬 Bry's Outlook: this is a completely shocking sale of over $20k for a newsstand in 9.8, probably purchased by someone with F.U. money that just saw the movie and wanted the top Venom Key
- From an investment standpoint, unless you plan on a long-term investment, I'd suggest you steer clear although I do think the value will sustain and even increase but not for quite some time
- You'd be better off aiming for a 9.6 newsstand because there should be some price corrections coming based on this sale
- Fair warning - don't pay Newsstand prices for anything lower than a 9.0 because that's where the difference in existing graded copies begin to be the same for Direct Editions

- Color error that affects several panels where the Lizard's green skin appears copper
- One datapoint became available in August for an ungraded copy that sold for $15,000. The seller claimed that only six were known to exist yet posted another for sale in October 2020 with the same description and images but for $10,000 less than the August sale. While this might be legitimate, it is too risky to to approximate values from this situation

- Variant cover art by Todd McFarlane
- ✅ This is an inexpensive, intriguing potential sleeper for multiple reasons:
- 1. McFarlane collectors are more about collecting than flipping
- 2. It’s not very often McFarlane lends his masterful skill outside of his own titles
- 3. Probably scarce. Unfortunately there is no longer a resource to estimate quantities ordered BUT Killadelphia #12 was ranked 102 in January in quantity of copies ordered which doesn’t even factor in DC books so it would’ve likely ranked closer to 200. It was 10 spots lower than Bettie Page #5 with a Jung-Geun Yoon cover
- 4. This variant was one of three very cool covers but the price was $5 due to having six extra pages of story and that $1 factors into how much shops were willing to order, especially in January 2021
- 📈 +2,300% increase in copies sold this week versus the previous week after being featured in Nick's Picks Weekly - Week 48
