How Stagflation Is Reshaping the Comic Book Market

Lucas and Luna explore how stagflation is driving demand for vintage comic books as an alternative asset. With consumer prices rising 4.2% annually and real GDP growth stuck at 1.6%, investors are turning to collectibles. Lucas breaks down the 2025 Heritage Auctions sale of a 1939 Detective Comics #27 for $1.5 million, while Luna examines the conversion of comic book specialty shops into de facto galleries and the rise of graded-slab investing. They discuss how the 1970s comic boom parallels today, and why first appearances of characters like Spider-Man and Black Panther have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past five years. The episode also touches on the role of CGC grading, the liquidity challenges of collectibles, and whether this market has room to run. #ComicBooks #Stagflation #AlternativeAssets #Collectibles #HeritageAuctions #CGC #DetectiveComics27 #SpiderMan #BlackPanther #Investing #InflationHedge #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #StagflationConversations #VintageComics #GradedSlabs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
