Heritage Auctions, based in Dallas, has announced the results of their latest comic auction, which drew more than $3.2 million dollars.
Highlighting the auction was the original art for a Frank Miller Daredevil, which brought in $101,575. The cover, from “Daredevil” #188, features Daredevil and Black Widow. That’s believed to be a public auction record for a piece of original art from the 1980s, auction officials said in a news release.
“This is a world record public auction price for a piece of 1980s comic art,” said Todd Hignite, Consignment Director for Original Comic and Illustration Art at Heritage Auctions, “and it’s one of the handful of highest prices that Heritage has ever seen paid for a piece of comic art, period. It’s in very rarefied company.”
