Everything & nothing. You can find them bagged at comics shops for $10+, but also at Half Price for a buck or two. They were all printed in massive quantities, so even early issues are super-common.
Non-rare printings of the basic blue book & 1st ed. AD&D hardbacks are a good comparison. Everyone loves them, everyone's got them, but valuable, no.
edit: On second thought while HM doesn't command a high price, they are the kind of blue-chip commodity which any used-comics shop is likely to stock & want to buy from you. Just maybe not for a whole lot.
That's much more than may be said for a great many comics titles, which no one wants to buy at any price.
