Kid Eternity comics followed the story of Christopher Freeman, a young boy living during the 1940s. Due to an accident, his life was tragically cut short some seventy-five years. The powers that be attempted to correct the mistake by reviving Freeman and bestowing upon him the powers to call upon the dead. Attending the kid was the enigmatic mentor Mister Keeper who traveled with him on most of his adventures.
Kid summons the dead to help him fight criminals and the bad in the world. After issue #18, the series was rebranded as Buccaneers Vol. 1, which continued with issue #19, featuring Captain Daring. The next issue of Kid Eternity was published as a Vol. 2 in 1991, with characters from DC’s New Earth, instead of the ones from Earth-S.
Years later, all characters from Quality Comics were bought by DC Comics.

Issue #2
What's Kid Eternity #2 worth in 2024?
The highest quality available single copy of NM- 9.2 has yet to record a sale, leaving a VF+ 8.5 below it to set the historical high price of $239 in 2009. There are few sales at lower grades due to the low quantity, but right now they show significant declines in value: FN+ 6.5 went from $120 in 2002 to $60 with its last sale in 2009. But given the time that's passed since that transaction, we're likely to see a rebound in value with future sales.

Issue #3
What's Kid Eternity #3 worth in 2024?
There are only four registered copies of this issue: one NM- 9.2, two VF- 7.5s and one FN 6.0. It's that lowest grade FN 6.0 that's recorded the only sales to date. It went for $60 in 2004, climbed up to the historical high price of $75 in 2005, and last sold for $45 in 2007. Given it's the lowest grade available, there could be an interesting investment opportunity higher up the scale.

Issue #4
What's Kid Eternity #4 worth in 2024?
This issue has only two transactions on file due to a limited quantity of copies on record. VF/NM 9.0 set the historical high price of $150 back in 2002. Eleven years later, a lesser grade FN+ 6.5 went for $95. If you like taking risk in an unestablished market while showing patience, this issue could be a good one to target for an investment.

Issue #5
What's Kid Eternity #5 worth in 2024?
There are very few copies of this issue on file, and they've produced two sales to date: a FN+ 6.5 went for $51 in 2014, and a VG/FN 5.0 below it sold for $40 one year earlier in 2013. There is a highest grade VF 8.0 above them that's yet to set a value ceiling. It'll be interesting to see what it goes for; other issues in this series have a similar low quantity, and that transaction could provide a reference point.

Issue #6
What's Kid Eternity #6 worth in 2024?
This issue with four copies on file has only recorded one sale to date, with a VF+ 8.5 fetching $325 in 2014. Even with only one sale, this value is significant because other issues in this series have recorded few transactions at the high-end. There's a NM+ 9.6 at the top, a quality that's rare to find for this title. It'll make for an interesting future price point reference.

Issue #7
What's Kid Eternity #7 worth in 2024?
Low quantities are standard for this series, and #7 follows the pattern with four available copies. But unlike other issues, this one has produced sales at the high end that reflect movement. The highest grade single VF/NM 9.0 went for $143 in 2006 followed by the top price of $227 in 2007, then dropped back down to the $140 range in 2012. And in 2011, a VF+ 8.5 below it sold for a significant value of $191 (an amount greater than the other two non-peak VF/NM 9.0 sales).

There are only two copies of this issue currently on file. A GD+ 2.5 recorded the only sale of $80 in 2019, and there's one FN 5.5 above it. We've seen some recent sales at the top-end for other issues in this series, which could trickle down to more movement here as overall values are established.

Issue #9
What's Kid Eternity #9 worth in 2024?
A single VF 8.0 looks to be the only copy of this issue currently on file, and it recorded one sale of $102 in 2006. We've seen recent market benchmarks set by other issues in this series within a much higher price range, so there's profit to be made here once #9 finds another buyer.

Issue #13
What's Kid Eternity #13 worth in 2024?
To date, there are only three copies of this issue on file: one each of FN/VF 7.0, VG 4.0 and GD/VG 3.0. It's the middle VG 4.0 that's recorded the only sale to date, going for $33 in 2011. Based on the limited market data available for other issues in this series, this is below average value and there should be room towards upward movement for any of these copes.

Issue #14
What's Kid Eternity #14 worth in 2024?
Like other issues in this series, #14 has a limited quantity of copies on file. In this case, just one each of FN+ 6.5 and VG+ 4.5. Combined, they've produced just one sale of $58 in 2014. This is below what other issues of this series have produced at similar grade levels, so there should be room for growth with future sales.

Issue #15
What's Kid Eternity #15 worth in 2024?
Many issues in this series have a low quantity of copies available: some have zero to date, while others only have two or three. This makes the five copies for #15 a large amount when adjusted for scale. They've produced one sale to date, when a FN 6.0 went for $143 in 2015. There's a NM+ 9.6 at the top of this market, which is one of the highest quality copies available throughout the series. It'll be interesting to see the benchmark value it sets with its first sale.

Below it, FN 6.0 had small bounces from $37 in 2004 to $38 in 2013, then down to $28 in 2015.
