Which version do you have?
If you just want the comic, the Cho or Kubert versions at $7 are the cheapest entry point. Premium versions like the Lee Virgin ($47) or Bianchi Virgin ($29) offer higher collectible appeal due to variant printing or specific artist runs, justifying the higher price. Buyers seeking the absolute lowest cost should stick to the $5 Standard or Quinones, while serious collectors should target the more valuable variants.
