Event Auction Highlights: Silver Age Comics

Vintage comic collectors often begin their journey in the Silver Age, picking up first appearances, rarities, complete runs, double covers, and highest certified graded comics. It’s a smart play as a good number of the characters created at the time are now household names. Investment collectors tend to buy what they know and love, and there’s so many beloved characters from the era you can’t go wrong.

Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and the Marvel Bullpen forever changed comics with their new standard of raw storytelling. Their remarkable ability to create personal and endearing characters, like the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk, allowed Marvel to gain a foothold, then, dominance of the comic book industry while churning out classic issue after classic issue. Their counterparts at DC chugged along with their tried-and-true formula, keeping their loyal fanbase entertained while adding a variety of new heroes and villains.
