The 2021 local elections are just around the corner after some of them were delayed by a year due to the pandemic.
A near mint copy of
Batman #1 from 1940 sold at Heritage Auctions in Dallas on Thursday for $2.22m including buyer’s premium, setting a world record for a comic book based on the character and becoming the second most expensive comic book ever sold at auction. The top spot in the comics market remains a pristine issue of
Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman, which sold in 2014 for $3.2m on eBay.
The rare edition of
Batman #1, which gives the origin story of the caped crusader, features a striking cover drawn by comic art legend Bob Kane depicting Batman and his sidekick Robin swinging into action. It also marks the first appearance of some of the vigilante hero s best known foes the Joker and Catwoman (called just the Cat at that point). And it is the only copy to ever receive a 9.4 grade from the Certified Guaranty Company, reflecting its well-preserved condition, with clean white pages, and collectible value. When we value a comic book, there are
Batman memorabilia.
Heritage Auctions confirmed Thursday that a
Batman #1 from 1940 (the debut issue in the hero s very first ongoing series) set a new world record this week with a massive $2.2 million sale during the first session of the Comics & Comic Art event. That makes it 1) the most expensive Caped Crusader comic ever purchased and 2) the most expensive comic book Heritage Auction has ever sold. The previous record-holder was also a
Batman #1, which netted $567,625 at the Dallas-based auction house in 2013. Pitting Batman and Robin against Doctor Hugo Strange, the comic also featured the first appearances of Catwoman and the Joker, as well as a 2-page reiteration of the hero s origin story.
