Alpha Flight #1 CGC 9.4 – Canadian Price Variant | Marvel Comics (1983)

Own a true piece of Canadian comic book history with Alpha Flight #1, professionally graded CGC 9.4 (Near Mint) and featuring the highly collectible Canadian Price Variant.

Published by Marvel Comics in 1983, this landmark issue marks the first issue of the Alpha Flight series, created by legendary writer and artist John Byrne. It introduces and expands on Canada’s premier superhero team, including key characters like Guardian, Puck, and Marrina, while exploring the origins of Alpha Flight.

What makes this copy especially desirable is the Canadian Price Variant (CPV)—a limited-distribution newsstand edition featuring a different cover price (typically $1.25 CAD), making it significantly rarer than standard direct editions. These variants have become increasingly sought after by collectors, particularly in higher CGC grades.

This CGC 9.4 graded copy offers strong eye appeal, excellent preservation, and long-term investment potential. Encapsulated for authenticity and protection, it’s perfect for serious collectors or anyone looking to own a key Bronze Age Marvel issue with Canadian significance.

A standout addition for collectors searching for CGC graded comics, Canadian price variants, and key Marvel books in Canada and Edmonton.
