Are comic books a good investment?

I've read that they go up in value about the same rate as the stock market.

well comic books are like the stock market some are good to invest in and some are not you won't find out if there good to invest in till at least a year from there purchace date unless tere a special addition of an existing one thats popular those are always good investments

In my opinion, no. My friend had some comic books I had never heard of (like Captain Confederate) and I thought they would be worth lots of money. I scanned them and put them on e-bay and as it turns out, hundreds of other people had the same ones (including issue #1) and were vending them for less than $2 usd.

That would depenend on if or when you want to cash in on them. Comics gain value slowly over years and any value one particular comic may have can be dashed by a single bent corner. If you have the patience, and maybe want your grandkids to have something they can take as financial legacy, go for it. They won't be worth enough in your lifetime unless they are instant classic like "the death of superman".
