Over the past few years Peach Momoko covers have become some of the hottest comic book variants among fans, collectors and investors alike. In fact, the young Japanese artist even earned a coveted spot as one of Marvel’s famed “Stormbreakers” (a line-up of all all-star creators). Even more impressively, over the course of her relatively new career she’s drawn everything from Red Sonja and Spider-Man, to Darth Vader and the Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtles.
With Peach illustrating upwards of 20 covers a month there are now an incredible number of stunning covers to choose from. But which ones really stand above the rest? Below, we’ve broken out what we feel are the 20 best Peach Momoko covers.
1. Marvel Rising #1
- Published: March 2019
- Estimated Price: $230 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: One of Peach’s first major covers for Marvel, this in 1:25 variant showcases her unique style, not to mention featuring a veritable whos-who of the best modern age female superheroes.
2. Black Cat #1
- Published: June 2019
- Estimated Price: $25 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: There are plenty of gorgeous Black Cat covers to choose from (including some absolute stunners from J. Scott Campbell), but it’s hard to top this store exclusive variant Peach Momoko cover that may be one of the very best depictions of Felicia Hardy ever.
3. Red Sonja Age of Chaos #2
- Published: February 2020
- Estimated Price: $75 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: While there are no shortage of cheescake-style Red Sonja covers, this amazing variant virgin cover showcases Peach Momoko’s unique approach to drawing strong female characters, making this easily one of her best works ever.
4. Strange Academy #1
- Published: March 2020
- Estimated Price: $115 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Strange Academy has already been one of the most popular new Marvel titles of the past few years, with plenty of impressive variant covers. Yet this stunning store exclusive is hard to top. There’s also a virgin variant available that further puts this in the running as one of Peach Momoko’s best covers.
5. Star Wars Adventures #32
- Published: July 2022
- Estimated Price: $55 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: There are a ton of amazing Star Wars covers that have recently cropped up (including some awesome versions of The High Republic #1), but few can beat this Peach Momoko virgin variant featuring a lightsaber-wielding Rey. It’s an elegant cover, for a more civilized age.
6. Usagi Yojimbo #10
- Published: December 1966
- Estimated Price: $120 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Usagi Yojimbo remains a fan favorite, having been slicing and dicing his way across feudal Japan for almost 40 years. This jaw dropping Peach Momoko cover was an exclusive to the San Diego Comic Con 2020 Comic-Con@Home, and pays fitting tribute to the legendary rabbit warrior.
7. We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #1
- Published: September 2020
- Estimated Price: $65 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: While this might be a bit of an under-the-radar series from BOOM! Studios, this incredible glow in the dark variant cover from Peach Momoko is anything but forgettable, showcasing a master artist at the top of her game.
8. Star Wars Adventures #1
- Published: October 2020
- Estimated Price: $55 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Darth Vader may be the most bad ass villain of all time and he’s never looked more impressive than in this Peach Momoko variant which shows the humanity lurking beneath the Dark Lord of the Sith’s armored exterior. Limited to just 1,500 copies, this relatively rare book is also criminally undervalued.
9. Spider-Woman #5
- Published: October 2020
- Estimated Price: $25 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: There are more than a few beautiful (and even controversial) Spider-Woman covers available. But this 1:100 Peach Momoko virgin variant stands above the rest, demonstrating why Jessica Drew remains a fan favorite Marvel superhero.
10. Power Rangers #1
- Published: November 2020
- Estimated Price: $75 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Even if you’re not a hardcore Power Rangers fan you’ve still got to appreciate this incredible 1:250 virgin variant, which blends Peach’s unique style and sense of movement into a comic book cover masterpiece.
11. Something Is Killing the Children #12
- Published: December 2020
- Estimated Price: $25 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: While some might argue that the comic book market has been saturated with Something is Killing the Children variant covers, this 1:25 Peach Momoko virgin variant stands out among the crowd, and is one issue we absolutely had to include on this list.
12. Demon Days: X-Men #1
- Published: March 2021
- Estimated Price: $100 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Demon Days marks the first Marvel series written and illustrated by Peach Momoko and takes place in an alternate reality version of feudal Japan in which a young Psylocke samurai hunts down a Venom-style demon terrorizing the countryside. While there are plenty of variants from other artists, it’s hard to top this virgin cover illustrated by Peach herself.
13. Avengers #44
- Published: June 2021
- Estimated Price: $65 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Over the past few years there have been some absolutely killer She-Hulk comic book covers. But Peach’s version of the Jade Giantess might just be our favorite, with this 1:100 variant showing Jennifer Walters in a whole new light.
14. Black Widow #13
- Published: January 2022
- Estimated Price: $80 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: A lot of Black Widow comic covers tend to focus more on Natasha Romanoff’s curve appeal. Yet in this simple, yet stunning 1:100 variant, Peach Momoko shows that the legendary Avenger has plenty of both beauty and brawn.
15. X-Men Red #1
- Published: April 2022
- Estimated Price: $80 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: The X-Men Red series has some absolutely amazing covers (including a gorgeous piece by Russell Dauterman). But this 1:100 virgin variant from Peach Momoko might just take the cake, showing the weather-wielding Storm as the glorious goddess she truly is.
16. Age of X-Man: Apocalypse and the X-Tracts #2
- Published: April 2019
- Estimated Price: $65 USD (Raw High Grade)

17. Fallen Angels #2
- Published: November 2019
- Estimated Price: $30 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: There are literally dozens of incredible X-23 covers to choose from (including this beautiful Mike Mayhew X-Men #10 variant), but we particularly love this 1:25 Peach virgin variant that truly stands out among the pack.
18. Ghost Spider #2
- Published: September 2019
- Estimated Price: $315 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Over the past few years, Spider Gwen has become one of Marvel’s most popular modern characters and has plenty of unique covers to choose from. This 1:25 variant, however, has quickly become one of our favorites and remains a highly sought after early Peach Momoko cover.
19. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #100
- Published: December 2019
- Estimated Price: $350 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: Arguably one of the rarest Peach Momoko variant covers, this store exclusive was limited to just 250 copies. Yet despite the small print run, there’s no doubt that this is easily one of her best.
20. Captain Marvel The End #1
- Published: January 2020
- Estimated Price: $30 USD (Raw High Grade)
- Why We Picked It: One of Peach’s greatest strengths is her ability to find the humanity in her characters. That’s definitely the case with this gorgeous Captain Marvel variant cover, which showcases a battle scarred Carol Danvers and is one book that we absolutely had to have on this list.
