Comic beyond valuation (9)
I believe the answer is:
priceless
'comic' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for priceless that I've seen before include "Of incalculable value" , "of inestimable worth" , "Wonderful" , "Beyond value" , "Very precious; highly amusing" .)
