"We've always had a strong following in Canada, so buying the Toronto Comicon is something that allows me to give back to our fans.

"I am thrilled to offer the guests, celebrities, artists, dealers and exhibitors to our Canadian audience for the very first time."

ComicConnect.com Sets Record for Most Expensive Bronze Age Comic Ever Sold

In March, ComicConnect.com set the world record for the most expensive comic book ever sold at auction with the sale of Action Comics #1 CGC 6.0 for $317,200.  The Golden Age comic book from 1938 featured the first appearance of Superman.  Last weekend, ComicConnect set another world record with the most expensive Bronze Age (1970s) comic book ever sold, realizing $30,500 for the sale of Green Lantern #76 CGC 9.6.  

This landmark issue began artist Neal Adams’ historic collaboration with writer Denny O’Neil on the Green Lantern / Green Arrow stories that forever changed the face of comic books, and how the medium could tackle relevant and timely issues of social conscience and the changing times. The copy that sold is the single-most highest graded copy, and also features white pages.

Green Lantern #76 was not the only Bronze Age comic sold in the ComicConnect Event Auction to land in the 5-figure stratosphere.  The highest graded copy of Detective Comics #400 (CGC 9.8) containing the first appearance of Man-Bat and also featuring the work of Neal Adams, sold for an incredible $13,534.  

“En fuego! The Bronze Age 1970s comic market has come into its own, and the prices realized for Bronze material in our ComicConnect auctions are outstanding!” added ComicConnect COO, Vincent Zurzolo.  “ComicConnect now holds the world records for the most expensive comic sold at auction and the most expensive Bronze Age comic sold at auction. Next up, ComicConnect wants to set the Silver Age record – and we’re taking consignments right now!”

ComicConnect is accepting consignments for their next auction - and offers up to $1,000,000 in cash advances for top-tier consignments and collections. You may upload your consignments online directly through ComicConnect.com, or inquire by calling 212-895-3999 or emailing support@comicconnect.com. International callers may dial 001-212-895-3999.

Marvel Silver Surfer appearance surpasses expectations on ComicConnect.com.

The 1968’s Fantastic Four #72 is a hallowed issue among collectors both for its early Silver Surfer Stan Lee story, and classic cover and art by legendary penciler Jack Kirby & inker Joe Sinnott.  Predating even Silver Surfer #1, the story, entitled “Where Soars the Silver Surfer,” has always gotten a lot of love from fans.  This past weekend on ComicConnect.com, the highest graded copy on the CGC census got a lot more love, fetching 29 bids and hammering at a staggering $25,389.

“The previous highest, publicly recorded sale for a Fantastic Four #72 was $1,500 in 2008 for a 9.6 NM+ copy,” stated ComicConnect CEO, Stephen Fishler. “We anticipated this higher graded 9.8 NM/MT to sell for a premium, but $25,389 exceeded many expectations, including our own.”

“Prices on high-grade Marvel Silver Age continues to race up the charts, and clearly top collectors are willing to pay top dollar to obtain the best copies,” added ComicConnect COO, Vincent Zurzolo. “When it comes to this famous issue of Fantastic Four #72, there is no equivalent or better copy known to exist.”
