When choosing comics collectibles, the real decision is whether the collection calls for a lower-priced blind-bag issue, a character-led cover option, or a distinctly horror-focused single issue. These four brand-new selections span Queen, Harley Quinn, Selene, and Mark Spears Monsters, so character preference matters-but format cues, genre, and the listed-price range shape the better fit just as much.
Quick take
The lowest listed price is QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA at USD 13.99. HARLEY QUINN LUCKY YOU and UNDERWORLD SELENE VAMPIRE V7 are both listed at USD 18.15, making them a like-for-like price decision that is better settled by character and theme. At USD 499.99, MARK SPEARS MONSTERS #1 Black White & Dead Edition A-E & Metal F sits at the top of the range.
For a Marvel Universe superhero direction, start with Queen In Black. For a named character choice from KURVES Comics, the Harley Quinn and Selene titles divide naturally between goth-leaning and vampire-oriented themes. Mark Spears Monsters is the clear route for a collector prioritizing its Black White & Dead Edition identity and seventh-print feature.

Decision matrix
- Pick Queen In Black when a Marvel Universe issue featuring Queen and a blind bag exclusive are the priorities. Its superhero genre and general-audience designation make it the straightforward superhero-themed choice here.
- Pick Harley Quinn Lucky You for a Harley Quinn-centered selection with cosplay, goth, and BATMAN character tags. The listed genres also include Action, Adventure, Bad Girl, Fantasy, Films, Gothic, and TV-Comic.
- Pick Underworld Selene Vampire V7 when Selene and a vampire genre direction are the deciding factors. Its genre list also includes Action, Adventure, Comics, Fantasy, and TV-Comic.
- Pick Mark Spears Monsters #1 when the Seventh Print feature is the key collectible detail. It is a Modern Age single issue credited to Mark Spears as both Artist/Writer and Cover Artist.
Product notes
Mark Spears Monsters #1 Black White & Dead Edition
Choose MARK SPEARS MONSTERS #1 Black White & Dead Edition A-E & Metal F for a Mark Spears-led issue that explicitly combines Horror & Sci-Fi with Monster genre tags. The title's Black White & Dead Edition wording gives it a very different collection identity from the character-named alternatives, while the attributes identify it as a brand-new Modern Age single issue made in the United States. Its limitation is thematic: this is the least natural fit for a shelf built around Marvel superheroes or a specific character such as Harley Quinn or Selene. It suits collectors whose main interest is a Mark Spears Monsters issue rather than character-first comics.
Queen In Black #1 Blind Bag Exclusive Swimsuit Var David Nakayama
QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA is the right starting point for a Queen-focused issue associated with David Nakayama. It is issue #1, intended for a general audience, and its blind bag exclusive swimsuit-variant wording makes that presentation central to the appeal. The tradeoff is character focus: Queen is the named character, rather than Harley Quinn or Selene. That makes Queen In Black a clean choice for a Marvel Universe and Avengers-oriented direction, but less targeted for someone building around the goth, BATMAN, or vampire cues found elsewhere in this group.
Harley Quinn Lucky You - Kurves Comics
Pick HARLEY QUINN LUCKY YOU when Harley Quinn is the priority, especially alongside the listed cosplay, goth, and BATMAN character tags. KURVES COMICS is named as Cover Artist, and the attributes identify a Variant Cover feature. The description also states that it includes a Mylar bag and board. The limitation is that its character identity stays firmly Harley Quinn-centered, so it is not the direct thematic match for a Selene-focused vampire selection. It is best for collectors drawn to the title's Harley, goth, and multi-genre comic framing rather than a Marvel Universe issue or a monster-horror comic.
Underworld Selene Vampire V7 - Kurves Comics
Choose UNDERWORLD SELENE VAMPIRE V7 for a Selene-centered collectible with a stated Vampire genre. Like the Harley Quinn KURVES Comics selection, it names KURVES COMICS as Cover Artist, carries a Variant Cover feature, and is described as including a Mylar bag and board. Its limitation is equally clear from the title and character tags: Selene and cosplay define the focus, not Harley Quinn or BATMAN. That distinction makes Underworld Selene Vampire V7 the more coherent pick for a vampire-themed collection, while the Harley title better serves a collection led by its named Gotham-adjacent character cues.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose Queen In Black #1 for a Marvel Universe, Avengers, and Queen-focused issue with blind-bag presentation. Choose Harley Quinn Lucky You for the listed Bad Girl, Films, and Gothic genre mix surrounding Harley Quinn. Choose Underworld Selene Vampire V7 when Selene is the character you want represented. Choose Mark Spears Monsters #1 Black White & Dead Edition when the Seventh Print feature and Mark Spears credit matter more than a named superhero or vampire character.
