Anderson & Garland

Anderson and Garland are pleased to announce terrific results from our Comics Auctions held today and yesterday (17/18th April) in Newcastle. Global participation and deep bidding both in the room and online resulted in over £59,000 across the two day, 505 lot, sale. Highlights included a complete run of The Amazing Spider-man comics (issues 1-441) realising over £22,000, and a stunning collection of Pulp Fiction magazines totalling over £1,700. The star lot, a copy of The Amazing Spider-man No. 1, sold for a staggering £5,000 to a British collector. Auctioneer John Anderson said: “This sale was a fantastic success highlighted not only by the substantial single owner collection of Spider-man comics, but also by the Pulp Fiction anthologies and their magnificent cover art.” Further highlights included a selection of British science fiction magazine Scoops, which sold for £360, over nine times its initial estimate; and a copy of Journey Into Mystery No.83 by Marvel Comics, containing the first appearance of the super-hero, Thor, selling for over £3,500. All prices are inclusive of fees (25% + VAT).
