Today's big screen superhero blockbusters are boosting the market for old comic books, according to Heritage Auctions.
The saleroom has noted growing demand for “exceptional high-end comics” and the number of bidders competing for the most valuable appears to be increasing.
Sandoval, who is Heritage’s comics and comic art director of operations, told ATG: “It's pretty telling that most of the $100,000 comics we just sold didn't even surprise us by getting to those levels. It speaks to the tremendous interest in key comic books at the moment, and it's fair to say that the current wave of superhero movies has given buyers confidence that interest in these characters as pop culture icons is going to continue.”
