Scots auction offering rare £10k DC comics collection

A SCOTS vendor is auctioning one of the biggest single collections of DC Comics, estimated to be worth £10,000. 

The auction house McTear’s will put under the hammer several thousand individual comic books covering the 1960s Silver Age until the modern day.

The Bold and the Brave sale presents full runs of famous heroes and villains, classic story arcs, first appearances and a number of seldom seen characters.

The collection includes rare comics featuring Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and many more, ranging in price from £40 to £400 for the rarest books.

The Atom superhero collection
Key Silver Age comic books in the auction include Aquaman n° 2 from 1962, The Atom – numbers one through 45 – and several very early Justice League books from 1960. 

James Spiridion, McTear’s specialist, says: “There is no doubt the rise of Marvel and DC superhero movies over the past 15 years or so, has introduced a new audience to the rich and diverse storytelling available in comic books.  

“The Brave and the Bold collection boasts a rich tapestry of DC Comics’ finest creations covering everything from amazing superheroes and mind boggling sci-fi to spine-tingling horror, heart-warming romance, and thrilling westerns. 

“There really is something for every comic enthusiast and we are already seeing significant interest from collectors and fans alike.” 

Bidders can explore the full catalogue and register for the auction on Tuesday 4 July at www.mctears.co.uk
