Choosing among comics collectibles is less about finding another issue #1 and more about deciding what matters most: condition, signed ashcan language, a cover-driven variant, or a convention-exclusive preview. These four single issues take sharply different approaches, from a Mature connecting wraparound to a San Diego Comic Con ashcan.
Quick take
For the simplest condition-led choice, Terminal #1 Cover A Andy Kubert & Dave Mccaig Connecting Wraparound (Mature) NM is marked Brand New and emphasizes its connecting wraparound cover. QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA is the cover-and-character pick, pairing David Nakayama with a Queen-focused Marvel Universe superhero issue.
Choose SDCC 2026 DC Legion of Super-Heroes Preview #1 Hayden Sherman Ashcan when convention exclusivity and the Legion of Super-Heroes preview angle are central. Terminal #1 Ashcan Double Signed David Finch and Robert Kirkham is the distinct choice for shoppers who specifically want the double-signed ashcan wording, while accepting its Acceptable condition designation.

Product notes
Terminal #1 Ashcan Double Signed David Finch and Robert Kirkham
This Terminal #1 is aimed at the shopper who values the double-signed ashcan designation. It is a Modern Age single issue, identified as issue number 1, with David Finch named as cover artist and a general-audience comics classification. At USD 100.00, it holds the highest listed price of the four choices, placing its focus squarely on the signed ashcan angle. Its clear limitation is condition: it is marked Acceptable rather than Brand New. Choose it when the named signatures and ashcan format are the deciding features, not when a Brand New condition label is your first priority.
Terminal #1 Cover A Andy Kubert & Dave Mccaig Connecting Wraparound (Mature) NM
The Terminal #1 Cover A issue is the direct pick for a Brand New comic centered on a connecting wraparound cover. Dave McCaig is identified as both artist/writer and cover artist, while the title also names Andy Kubert and calls out its Mature designation. The character field identifies Terminator, giving the issue a specific franchise connection. At USD 4.25, it is the lowest-priced choice here. The trade-off is equally clear in the title: Mature content is part of this issue's framing, so it is best suited to shoppers deliberately seeking that designation rather than a general-audience classification.
QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA
Queen in Black #1 fits a superhero collection built around a David Nakayama swimsuit variant. It is marked Brand New, is a Modern Age single issue, and identifies Queen as its character. The Marvel Universe setting and Avengers superhero-team association give this comic a focused thematic identity, while the blind bag exclusive wording makes the variant-cover emphasis central to the choice. Its USD 13.99 listed price sits between the wraparound Terminal issue and the SDCC preview. The limitation is thematic rather than condition-related: this is a Queen-focused superhero collectible, not a Terminal or Legion of Super-Heroes selection.
SDCC 2026 DC Legion of Super-Heroes Preview #1 Hayden Sherman Ashcan
Choose the SDCC 2026 DC Legion of Super-Heroes Preview #1 when a convention-exclusive preview is more compelling than a standard cover-focused concept. This Brand New Modern Age single issue is identified as a San Diego Comic Con convention exclusive, and the title presents it as an ashcan. Its Legion of Super-Heroes series focus offers a clear match for DC superhero-team collectors, with Bat-Man identified as the character. At USD 42.99, it is positioned below the double-signed Terminal ashcan but above the two other Brand New choices. Its limitation is its tight event-and-series focus: this one is specifically for Legion and SDCC-oriented collecting.
Final recommendation by use case
Pick Terminal #1 Cover A Andy Kubert & Dave Mccaig Connecting Wraparound (Mature) NM for a Brand New connecting-wraparound Terminal issue. Select QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA for a David Nakayama variant with Queen and Marvel Universe superhero framing. Go with SDCC 2026 DC Legion of Super-Heroes Preview #1 Hayden Sherman Ashcan for San Diego Comic Con convention-exclusive appeal. Choose Terminal #1 Ashcan Double Signed David Finch and Robert Kirkham only when its double-signed ashcan designation outweighs the Acceptable condition label.
