August continues to offer many firsts for the NFT collaboration between Marvel Entertainment and the VeVe Digital Collectibles App as a part of “Marvel Month.”
This month fans saw the release of Spider-Man, the first-ever Marvel NFT with all 60,500 units quickly gobbled up in just 24 hours and a Captain America drop also selling out.
This week, fans can purchase fully-readable Marvel digital comics through the VeVe platform for the first time with the introduction of some of Marvel’s most historic comic book issues including #1.
That’s right! Buyers have the chance to get their hands on the first ever Marvel comic in NFT format and that is quite simply mouthwatering for any NFT collector! ?
These Marvel digital comics will feature up to five cover variants, each of which is associated with a different rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare and Secret Rare). After purchasing a comic, VeVe’s built-in E-Reader will allow fans to read the digital comic in full as soon as it hits their Collection.
Below is a look at the first three comics coming this week through the Marvel collaboration with pictures of the highly valuable ‘secret rare’ of each edition.

VeVe has recently moved to a blind box format, this means when you buy a comic you are given one of the rarities at random.
So what are the odds on landing a secret rare you ask? Here are the bookmaker odds.
