Really, I would start a giant art gallery of original artwork from comic artists. Comics will always fluctuate in value, but there will never be another original art piece.
Storage is definitely the main problem with collecting comics. I’d convert my duplex into a collection display area like Gem Mint has and hire someone to organize and grade. Definitely original artwork too but that almost goes without saying.
Definitely an exstinsive Neal Adams Batman artwork and comics collection and a bunch of first appearance issues that I can't afford now and hopefully a good bit of mystery long and short boxes to just rummage through in my spare time.
I co-owned a comics and card shop years ago...a lot of profits are sucked up by rent, utilities, labor , licenses,supplies and merchandise and with comics it was hard not to over buy stock as interests change. Was hard to make enough profit to pay for personal efforts. We used to joke the labor was only one benefiting from shop.
I would fly to New Jersey to buy James dinner as thanks for all the great entertainment his channel provides. And also to talk about everything until the wee hours! I would kick in some substantial contributions to his channel as well. As for comics, I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of collecting every single DC 80 page Giant issue which I know would give me hours upon hours of reading variety and pleasure. Maybe a whole run of DC’s SHOWCASE too!
1 - I'd pay for the same original creative team to continue the (probably) one-shot that is "Dante." Writers: Matt Hawkins & Jason Ning, Artist: Darick Robertson, Colorist: Diego Rodriguez, Letterer: Simon Bowland, Editor: Shahriar Foudladi 2 - I'd commission some artists to pencil, ink, and color some blank covers. Those would include (but not be limited to): Darick Robertson & Diego Rodriguez, Mike & Laura Allred, Tony Moore & Dave McCaig, Michael Cho, Bruce Timm, Leonel Castellani. 3 - Move into a condo or town home with a room or two exclusively for comics with a dehumidifier and no windows.
i have been fortunate to have a temperature controlled storage but that will be ending soon. humidity is going to be the biggest problem. definitely have to try to for the detective #27 BTW, i think your video room is fine. always hear you, great lighting, cool background. the kelly jones mural would be awesome!
I’m a huge ASM fan so I would go for issues 1-20 in the best grades a million could afford. A temperature and humidity controlled storage/display room sounds awesome!
I think I'd buy an entire run of Showcase (including decent copies of 4 and 22), fill out the rest of my incomplete runs, and have some proper comic storage bins built. And have plenty left over I'm sure.
Set up my comic room: racks to hold my long boxes, a nice spinner rack, a better sofa for when I want to sit and read etc Some original art, would love to own a Kirby page, or a Byrne Alpha Flight page. I'd settle for some commission stuff. Buy some grail comics: Avengers #1, Fantastic four #1, like to own one All Star comics with the JSA Hand my LCS a couple thousand bucks and my wish list and say 'Let me know when the money runs out or the list does.
This was a fun idea for a video James! If we are strictly going comic related, I'd say snatching up every high grade Silver Age key possible would be a wise way to use the money. Because golden age keys are already ridiculous in price, the money probably only gets you 1, maybe 2. So I'd say Silver Age has your best chance for the haul of multiple books with some growth room still possible.
1- double signed copies of Werewolf by Night 32, and each Moon Knight #1 2- full run of 2000AD + Dredd Megazine 3- double signed copy of Walking Dead #1 4- give writing a comic series a shot, why not
First I'd pay off my mortgage, and then I'd remodel so I could put in a temperature controlled comic room with bookshelves for my trades and graphic novels, display cases for action figures and prized books, and I'd see what was left over for a few grails.
I'd like to get as many highly desirable Captain America comics that are graded and slabbed, to include an issue #1 from the golden ages if possible. Been new to the channel as of a week ago and I really enjoy the content. Keep up the great work.
2:31 even as a general contractor I can’t hire anyone and end up doing the jobs by myself or else I won’t make any money, competitive but can also price myself out and go into my own money quickly and it doesn’t help anyone
Sounds like a solid business plan! Let's hope you win the lottery :) I would definitely go grail hunting for some of my favorite books that I would love to have like a House of Secrets #92
#1: buy my three remaining grails, X-Men #1, X-Men #4, Giant-Size X-Men #1. 2: get some sweet Chris Bachalo and Jae Lee original art. #3 Storage. #4 Start buying collections to flip for the fun of it!
I'd complete my personal collection as my want list stands at this point. Then I'd figure out every comic book I read as a child and lost somewhere along the way, and buy those. Then I'd pitch DC Comics on a Stalker maxi-series.
I would get reader copies of everything with an August 1967 date, build out a comic display room in my house, get every Mego super hero action figure produced (not newer facsimiles or junky old ones, nice originals from the 70s), get every treasury edition produced. And then I would give you all my 1970s Wonder Woman comics. I only have a handful.
I agree with paying off the mortgage, just to lift some of that weight off my shoulders. I would take a sabbatical from work so I can work on my own comics projects. Finally take that trip I’ve been planning. And try to do some good.
If I had 1 million to spend on comics a lone,the list is as follows: every single niel gaiman sandman book signed by him in cgc 9.8. Every other niel gaiman comic signed by him in cgc 9.8. Every Allen Moore comic signed in a cgc 9.8. Every issue of spawn signed by todd mcfarlane in cgc 9.8. Every issue of the original run of hellblazer in cgc 9.8 signed. I would also have a portfolio of original art for each and every one of my favorite comic artists. I too would have a separate temperature and humidity controlled room for it all. I would pitch some of my original concepts for comics I've come up with to image and have them come into reality. I would buy my brothers and my kids each thier holy grail comic, along with my wife's holy grail comic. Those are the main things I would use it for, the rest I would save for rainy day buying and for newer comics that have not even been thought of yet that will some day become the next biggest things in comicbook history.
With a million the ideas could span on for hours! But I would definitely get a complete ASM run from 1-441 and all ASM keys after. Then I would say original art from each of my favorite artists and temperature controlled shed. With whatever else is left I would pick up every key on my want list. I think that would about cover it completely. 😂
Dropping the video late today I see, but I was up so I watched it. Regarding comics buy all the key near and dear to me. Build an extra room in the house, no windows to display them.
I might start with great-condition runs of everything Grant Morrison, Peter Milligan, and Alan Moore wrote. Not sure what I'd do after that. HAPPY AUTUMN!
A house with enough rooms for me to have a man cave for sure. I had a comic room when I lived in CO but moved to MA last year (it’s stupid expensive here) aaand we just had our 3rd kid… rip to man cave hopes for at least 20 more years 🫣
$1,000,000 doesn't go as far as it once did sadly. At least if we're talking buying extravagant things and paying off debts. It'd be gone faster than most people would think. So if buying comics and comic related things were the condition on receiving, I'd mostly put together full collections of all the indie books I've been collecting. Especially Usagi related things. The only odd adventurous thing I'd try to do is track down the ownership rights to the old Dreamwave Production IPs like Warlands and Dark Minds and try to purchase full control. I've tried doing this before but... a little difficult and a lot I don't know so having a million dollars would allow me to hire an investigator or someone that knows these things.
If I had a house, I'd get top of the line "man cave" for my comics and statues, temp. controlled, appropriate lighting natural and make it "expandable". Get another press so I have two for my own sake. "Strangers in Paradise" #1 of their limited series, get all my comiccs graded I want graded by CGC. (there's over 50 that I'd want graded). Out of date statues of X-23/Laura Kinney/ANW. If any is left, keep to afford my weekly trips every NCBD.
Tough battle over time /money/help/cost of help. Many businesses struggle there. Are there still teenagers around that love comics and would “work” for cheap or comics? If you want to go official here in Canada there are many co op programs that pay all or a portion of wages during a certain period.
Given 24 hours to choose, I would get coffee going and just find a bunch of 9.0 - 9.6 grails with a chance to get 9.8s with thorough clean and press, and just flip them, to get 2 million, then rinse and repeat.
I would START by acquiring and selling an Action 1 and then a Tec 27, just so I could say that I'd owned one of each at one point. 😄 But then it would be a bunch of Gold and Silver keys in the $20k range until the cash ran out.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, first printing from 1984. Then complete the rest of the original Mirage Studios B&W run. Whatever is left over I would use to live off of while I complete my own self-published books.
Honestly for me having that much money to only spend on comic stuff would take the fun out of hunting them for good deals. Maybe I'd commission some awesome art pieces then I'd buy comic stuff to re-sell because that's fun for me.
I feel like I'm going for something bulletproof like Action 1 or Detective 27. Whatever is left over I'm snatching up personal Grails til I can't walk around my own house.
I would insulate our garage and have shelves installed to store my comics since I have no room in the house. I would purchase 4 or 5 major key books and I would buy 1 or 2 “holy grail” books.
I’d use it for things other than comics.😅 But, if using it for comics was a necessity, I’d probably buy a bunch of huge keys and save it to always use that to buy any comics I wanted.
With a million dollars to spend on comics definitely getting a low grade copy of Detective Comics #27, a mid to high grade copy of Incredible Hulk #181 and if there’s enough left a low grade copy of AF 15.
Storage space is number one for me. I already have a climate controlled shed, but that is the problem... I have one shed. That has my drums and other music equipment as well as comics. After that, I'm getting a bunch of Casper the Friendly Ghost comics, the Phantom Lady from the Golden Age, and EC Comics.
All American #61, the promise pedigree copy! Imo the greatest cover ever. Some of the non superman cover Action Comics in high grade. AF15. 8.0 JLA 1-100. High grade. Batman #26 snow mobile cover. Then see how much I have left. 😅🎉
Todd McFarland, and Batman I would need to rebuild my garage and attach it to my house. Some of it would be in a trust to keep buying new comics. My buy into my local comic shop and would finish my own comic making dreams.
Superman #1 in any grade and X-Men #1 and Hulk #181 above a 5.0. Then a start of the Uncanny X-men run. But leaving some issues for the thrill of the hunt still
Like that you mentioned should always be. I'd pay off all my debt, have a reliable car, have a house then ....... but yea a Detective #27 is defiantly what I drop it on. Also a bunch of lower grade grails instead of 1 high grade version. Rather have a 1.0 Detective 27 and a mid grade AF 15 than a 3.0 Detective 27
I would just buy as many grail books I’ve dreamed of having within that budget and suitable man cave to store and display my collection.. and rent RDJ to come to my birthday party as Iron Man.
You should look into the Rode Wireless GO II lavalier mic system. The receiver can easily be connected to your phone, is wireless, the mic itself clips onto your shirt and it should record better, fuller audio that's less echo-ey. Love your vids btw!
I go out and I buy the best 100 comics for investment and for the price that I can find. I treat it like an investment trust. I offer 10,000 shares for $110 a piece. I act as an asset manager for the hundred books sometimes trading up in value. Over time the collection should appreciate in value as long as I am following pricing. I got my million dollars back, I have an awesome comic book collection that I get to look at every day, and I made $100,000 to act as caretaker for the collection which I will probably have some shares of myself.😊 I'd have to iron out some of the details like ensuring the collection and proper storage but in the end I get access to these books. I get access to a million-dollar collection anytime.
I may have a million dollars. I would help the mint hunter fulfill some of his check off list and maybe he would include me in on the shop and studio buz!
you would buy a bunch of 9.8 silver age keys then send them in to CGC each time a potential signer for them did a signing even and they would all end up being downgraded to 9.6 in the dumb yellow label, also with the custom label for what every hero or team it was lol
seeing you do this job alone looks tiring for sure no doubt lol. i'd need another helper too. i would actually become a vendor at shows and begin to buy collections to fund itself. you never know what people have in their collections.
Id have to get out of my city, We have a couple awesome comic shops but to spend a million in a day on comics... welll... it wouldn't be possible in this city. As for comics I'd be focusing on the silver age big keys, those are my favorites.
Amazing Fantasy 15 first book i am buying. Then Fantastic four 1, The Incredible Hulk 1, Amazing Spider-Man 1-50. Probably will flip the FF1 and The Incredible Hulk 1 but will keep AF 15 and ASM 1-50 for my Personal collection.
Dont you have about 250k in statues behind ya? hehe. Great topic. I have to think on this one but one thing would be to donate funding to public schools (art supplies and stuff to inspire the next gen of comic book creators. Then I would maybe get 10 insane grails for myself and book myself a trip to Wakanda.
I'd buy 1 million comics from the dollar bin! 😂
lol
And now you got 3 million. You should probably invest it for dollar bin comics
Really, I would start a giant art gallery of original artwork from comic artists. Comics will always fluctuate in value, but there will never be another original art piece.
I would buy the entire Dark Phoenix Saga in original pages.
A complete run of Walking Dead, a trip to SDCC, and whatever first appearances I could afford of favorite characters.
Keep up the good work! You're one of the best comic youtubers around!
Wow, thanks!
Temperature controlled display room, storage, and studio. Comics, statues,and original art.
Definitely a comic/game cave. Wall to wall first appearances.. starting with Tales to Astonish #13
Storage is definitely the main problem with collecting comics.
I’d convert my duplex into a collection display area like Gem Mint has and hire someone to organize and grade.
Definitely original artwork too but that almost goes without saying.
Definitely an exstinsive Neal Adams Batman artwork and comics collection and a bunch of first appearance issues that I can't afford now and hopefully a good bit of mystery long and short boxes to just rummage through in my spare time.
I co-owned a comics and card shop years ago...a lot of profits are sucked up by rent, utilities, labor , licenses,supplies and merchandise and with comics it was hard not to over buy stock as interests change.

I would fly to New Jersey to buy James dinner as thanks for all the great entertainment his channel provides. And also to talk about everything until the wee hours! I would kick in some substantial contributions to his channel as well.

Idk why my algorithm only showed me this today, awesome vid man
I’m a huge ASM fan so I would go for issues 1-20 in the best grades a million could afford. A temperature and humidity controlled storage/display room sounds awesome!
Original Art - Kirby FF splash, Byrne X-Men pages, Simonson Thor page, Miller Daredevil page.
I think I'd buy an entire run of Showcase (including decent copies of 4 and 22), fill out the rest of my incomplete runs, and have some proper comic storage bins built. And have plenty left over I'm sure.
Set up my comic room: racks to hold my long boxes, a nice spinner rack, a better sofa for when I want to sit and read etc
Some original art, would love to own a Kirby page, or a Byrne Alpha Flight page.
I'd settle for some commission stuff.
Buy some grail comics: Avengers #1, Fantastic four #1, like to own one All Star comics with the JSA
Hand my LCS a couple thousand bucks and my wish list and say 'Let me know when the money runs out or the list does.
I would set off on a nationwide digging tour. Whatever is left would go into a collectors insurance policy.
Showcase 22-24, GL 1&7, Batman 1, Hulk 1-6. If anything left over Batman issues between 2 and 148.
This was a fun idea for a video James! If we are strictly going comic related, I'd say snatching up every high grade Silver Age key possible would be a wise way to use the money. Because golden age keys are already ridiculous in price, the money probably only gets you 1, maybe 2. So I'd say Silver Age has your best chance for the haul of multiple books with some growth room still possible.
Of course I'd have to go for an Action 1. But I'd grab some smaller keys I'd love to have as well.
1- double signed copies of Werewolf by Night 32, and each Moon Knight #1
2- full run of 2000AD + Dredd Megazine
3- double signed copy of Walking Dead #1
4- give writing a comic series a shot, why not
The graphic novel collection sounds amazing ngl
First I'd pay off my mortgage, and then I'd remodel so I could put in a temperature controlled comic room with bookshelves for my trades and graphic novels, display cases for action figures and prized books, and I'd see what was left over for a few grails.
I wasn’t expecting the desire for the graphic novels, but I like that idea.
I'd like to get as many highly desirable Captain America comics that are graded and slabbed, to include an issue #1 from the golden ages if possible.
Been new to the channel as of a week ago and I really enjoy the content. Keep up the great work.
I would have a warehouse to store my comics, cause short boxes actually take up a lot of room 😂
2:31 even as a general contractor I can’t hire anyone and end up doing the jobs by myself or else I won’t make any money, competitive but can also price myself out and go into my own money quickly and it doesn’t help anyone

First thing that came to mind was a TMNT 1 first printing in a high grade. So I'm gonna say that totally would be my first purchase.
I'd complete my personal collection as my want list stands at this point. Then I'd figure out every comic book I read as a child and lost somewhere along the way, and buy those. Then I'd pitch DC Comics on a Stalker maxi-series.
If you had $1 million… The first thing you could do is call yourself the million dollar man
I would get reader copies of everything with an August 1967 date, build out a comic display room in my house, get every Mego super hero action figure produced (not newer facsimiles or junky old ones, nice originals from the 70s), get every treasury edition produced. And then I would give you all my 1970s Wonder Woman comics. I only have a handful.
Still enjoy the thrill of the hunt so I'd take the mil and travel to comic shops all over the country to see what gems I could find.
I agree with paying off the mortgage, just to lift some of that weight off my shoulders. I would take a sabbatical from work so I can work on my own comics projects. Finally take that trip I’ve been planning. And try to do some good.
Action #1. Only ever going to go up in value
If I had 1 million to spend on comics a lone,the list is as follows: every single niel gaiman sandman book signed by him in cgc 9.8. Every other niel gaiman comic signed by him in cgc 9.8. Every Allen Moore comic signed in a cgc 9.8. Every issue of spawn signed by todd mcfarlane in cgc 9.8. Every issue of the original run of hellblazer in cgc 9.8 signed.

Love you show. Keep it up
With a million the ideas could span on for hours! But I would definitely get a complete ASM run from 1-441 and all ASM keys after. Then I would say original art from each of my favorite artists and temperature controlled shed. With whatever else is left I would pick up every key on my want list. I think that would about cover it completely. 😂
Solid choices I wouldnt know what to do.
Very respectable choices!
Definitely filling up on all those Batman keys I'm missing.
Dropping the video late today I see, but I was up so I watched it.
Regarding comics buy all the key near and dear to me. Build an extra room in the house, no windows to display them.
Yeah that was completely by accident haha, this was supposed to schedule to release at noon on Friday, not midnight Thursday night D’OH!!!
I might start with great-condition runs of everything Grant Morrison, Peter Milligan, and Alan Moore wrote. Not sure what I'd do after that. HAPPY AUTUMN!
I'd be going nuts getting Batman and ASM keys.
This is a really really cool video. What you would buy with $1 million other than just comic books but comic book related.
A house with enough rooms for me to have a man cave for sure. I had a comic room when I lived in CO but moved to MA last year (it’s stupid expensive here) aaand we just had our 3rd kid… rip to man cave hopes for at least 20 more years 🫣

Although there are a couple of keys I’d grab (AF15 comes to mind), my passion is Original Art and I’d start hunting for silver age covers.
If I had a house, I'd get top of the line "man cave" for my comics and statues, temp. controlled, appropriate lighting natural and make it "expandable". Get another press so I have two for my own sake. "Strangers in Paradise" #1 of their limited series, get all my comiccs graded I want graded by CGC. (there's over 50 that I'd want graded).

God idek what id do, probebly get some really sick graded comics to have on display
Tough battle over time /money/help/cost of help. Many businesses struggle there. Are there still teenagers around that love comics and would “work” for cheap or comics? If you want to go official here in Canada there are many co op programs that pay all or a portion of wages during a certain period.
"I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the planet into alcoholic's"
Given 24 hours to choose, I would get coffee going and just find a bunch of 9.0 - 9.6 grails with a chance to get 9.8s with thorough clean and press, and just flip them, to get 2 million, then rinse and repeat.
Smart!
I would START by acquiring and selling an Action 1 and then a Tec 27, just so I could say that I'd owned one of each at one point. 😄
But then it would be a bunch of Gold and Silver keys in the $20k range until the cash ran out.
As much of a Batman run as possible … or detective comics…
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, first printing from 1984. Then complete the rest of the original Mirage Studios B&W run. Whatever is left over I would use to live off of while I complete my own self-published books.
I would have a new home with a big comic book room
Honestly for me having that much money to only spend on comic stuff would take the fun out of hunting them for good deals. Maybe I'd commission some awesome art pieces then I'd buy comic stuff to re-sell because that's fun for me.
I feel like I'm going for something bulletproof like Action 1 or Detective 27. Whatever is left over I'm snatching up personal Grails til I can't walk around my own house.

I would like to get into some original art and use that as a way to get some bigger books!!
Storage space is number one for me. I already have a climate controlled shed, but that is the problem... I have one shed. That has my drums and other music equipment as well as comics.
After that, I'm getting a bunch of Casper the Friendly Ghost comics, the Phantom Lady from the Golden Age, and EC Comics.
All American #61, the promise pedigree copy! Imo the greatest cover ever.
Some of the non superman cover Action Comics in high grade.
AF15. 8.0
JLA 1-100. High grade.
Batman #26 snow mobile cover.
Then see how much I have left. 😅🎉
1st Batman for sure.
Todd McFarland, and Batman I would need to rebuild my garage and attach it to my house. Some of it would be in a trust to keep buying new comics. My buy into my local comic shop and would finish my own comic making dreams.
Superman #1 in any grade and X-Men #1 and Hulk #181 above a 5.0.
Then a start of the Uncanny X-men run. But leaving some issues for the thrill of the hunt still
Like that you mentioned should always be. I'd pay off all my debt, have a reliable car, have a house then ....... but yea a Detective #27 is defiantly what I drop it on. Also a bunch of lower grade grails instead of 1 high grade version. Rather have a 1.0 Detective 27 and a mid grade AF 15 than a 3.0 Detective 27
Getting the as many copies of amazing fantasy #15 a million buys and wait for retirement.
"You have a million bucks show up in your account tomorrow, what do you do?" Contact the FBI, because you KNOW they're going to contact you.
So when is the captain carrot book coming out????
I’d get a ff1 and some Frank quitely original art…
I'd build a man cave and fill it with comics
IRS:im waiting....
Would love a first appearance of miles morales
I would just buy as many grail books I’ve dreamed of having within that budget and suitable man cave to store and display my collection.. and rent RDJ to come to my birthday party as Iron Man.
That's the crappy part about being self-employed. We have to do all the work or we lose all profits paying someone else to do the work instead.
You should look into the Rode Wireless GO II lavalier mic system. The receiver can easily be connected to your phone, is wireless, the mic itself clips onto your shirt and it should record better, fuller audio that's less echo-ey. Love your vids btw!
I had that for the entirety of 2022. Thought it sounded terrible. There’s something about the bass in my voice that typical mics have an issue with
Every ASM in 9.8 and Cosplay girls for a mil😅
I would probably buy a bunch of first appearance starting with batman. In the highest grade possible.
I go out and I buy the best 100 comics for investment and for the price that I can find. I treat it like an investment trust. I offer 10,000 shares for $110 a piece.

First 10 copies of ASM and Amazing Fantasy 15 in the highest grades I could afford
AF15 Hulk 1 tmnt 1 first print in a 9.8
I may have a million dollars. I would help the mint hunter fulfill some of his check off list and maybe he would include me in on the shop and studio buz!
I would buy a Superman issue 1.
you would buy a bunch of 9.8 silver age keys then send them in to CGC each time a potential signer for them did a signing even and they would all end up being downgraded to 9.6 in the dumb yellow label, also with the custom label for what every hero or team it was lol
Open a comic book store
seeing you do this job alone looks tiring for sure no doubt lol.
i'd need another helper too. i would actually become a vendor at shows and begin to buy collections to fund itself. you never know what people have in their collections.
I would buy an X- force #1 in VG condition
Original comic cover art golden age horror
Id have to get out of my city, We have a couple awesome comic shops but to spend a million in a day on comics... welll... it wouldn't be possible in this city. As for comics I'd be focusing on the silver age big keys, those are my favorites.
I would just get a Daredevil #1.
The best superman 1 or action comics 1
Smart answer
I would buy an X-Force #1
Awesome!!!
Amazing Fantasy 15 first book i am buying. Then Fantastic four 1, The Incredible Hulk 1, Amazing Spider-Man 1-50. Probably will flip the FF1 and The Incredible Hulk 1 but will keep AF 15 and ASM 1-50 for my Personal collection.
Dont you have about 250k in statues behind ya? hehe. Great topic. I have to think on this one but one thing would be to donate funding to public schools (art supplies and stuff to inspire the next gen of comic book creators. Then I would maybe get 10 insane grails for myself and book myself a trip to Wakanda.
