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.
