A page from a 1984 Spider-Man comic was sold at an auction in Dallas. A record $3.36 million made this leaflet the most valuable superhero illustration ever made.
The newsprint shows Spider-Man in a black suit. This is the first experience of the superhero's contact with the Venom symbiote. The meeting of two super-beings has become a landmark in the story of Spider-Man.
This page was drawn by American artist Mike Zeck, who is already known for his collaborations with the Marvel Universe. He is the author of many images of Captain America, the Punisher, Shang-Chi, as well as many other superheroes.
The buyer who won the auction wished to remain anonymous. And the organizers took his side, not providing information to the media about the identity of the winner of the auction.
According to the organizers of the auction, this once again proves that the art of comics is becoming as popular as images on canvas. And in the wake of the popularity of the launch of films with the participation of superheroes, the topic of collecting paraphernalia from comics is on the rise.
The interest of collectors is attracted by the figurines of heroes, their paraphernalia, posters, books, comics, cards, and so on. Moreover, it is not so easy to acquire a rare collectible item. Especially if it was released in a single copy.
