Ka-Boom! 2,000 – strong vintage comic collection tops £49k at auction

Posted on

A collection of over 2,000 comics and examples of pulp literature sold for a massive £49,860.47* when it went under the hammer at a West Midlands auction last week. With the majority of examples dating from the golden – silver age of comic books (1930s – 1960s) and with heavyweight names including DC, Marvel and the latter’s forerunner Atlas well represented alongside more obscure and now defunct names such as Charlton, ACG and Tower comics, the lots bought comic collectors out in force. 

Over 2,000 vintage comics and pulp literature editions to come under the hammer

Over 2,000 comics and examples of pulp literature from a vast single collection is set to come up for auction at a May Specialist Collectors’ Sale in Wolverhampton. With the majority of examples dating from the golden – silver age of comic books (1940s – 1960s) and with heavyweight names including DC, Marvel and the latter’s forerunner Atlas well represented alongside more obscure and now defunct names such as Charlton, ACG, and Tower comics, the opportunity is likely to get collectors rather hot under the collar.
