Rare Issues & Classic Characters from a Single-Owner Collection

23 July 2026 15:00
Venue: Online Automated Auction (Timed)

Assembled over many years by a passionate private collector, this exceptional single-owner Comic Book Collection presents a rare opportunity to acquire key issues, complete runs and iconic titles from one carefully curated collection. Spanning the Silver Age through to the modern era, the catalogue reflects a lifetime of collecting and celebrates some of the most influential characters and stories ever published.

Marvel highlights include The Invincible Iron Man #1, The Silver Surfer #1, an early run of Tales of Suspense, and a superb group of The Amazing Spider-Man issues #23–30. The sale also features the landmark Giant-Size X-Men #1, alongside an extensive run of The New Mutants, including the highly sought-after issue #98, marking the first appearance of Deadpool.

Collectors of DC Comics will recognise the significance of Batman #232, featuring the first appearance of Ra's al Ghul with its classic Neal Adams cover art, while complete runs of Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars and Secret Wars II capture two of the defining crossover events of the Bronze Age.

Beyond the superhero universe, the collection embraces the innovation of independent and underground publishing, with early Cerebus the Aardvark issues sitting alongside influential titles including Love and Rockets, American Splendor, Warrior, Alien, Taboo, Weirdo, and many more.

Offering the depth and consistency that only a single-owner collection can provide, this one-off auction is an exciting opportunity for collectors to secure key issues, fill gaps in long-standing collections, and discover overlooked gems. We invite you to explore the full catalogue and place your bids.
