"Amazing", "Mighty", "Fantastic" and "Uncanny." Those words precede the popular comic book titles featuring Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, and the Fantastic Four. The same words can be applied to the price results just achieved for examples from these and other titles within the ComicLink auction. The reason: incredibly high demand, extremely active bidding, and heavy interest in the Fantastic Four and X-Men issues from the Rocky Mountain collection.
