The Spring 2010 auction at Compalcomics has ended!

http://www.compalcomics.com

Bids were accepted until 8 PM UK time Tuesday 2 March. Go directly to the main page for the catalogue, click here:
http://www.compalcomics.com/catalogue/index.htm

This catalogue profiles a major collection of Melody Maker. Comprising four yearly lots from 1960-1963, there are only a few issues missing and the condition is very fresh. They are publisher's file copies, each year with its own stamped file. 1963 has The Beatles first front cover. Poptastic.

Our 1930s bound volumes continue to unwind with 1-20 of Modern Boy with its elusive No 1 free gift ‘George V' engine in tin plate and war year runs of Champion, Detective Weekly, Hotspur, Knock-Out, Thriller and Wizard. With the aforementioned Beano Nos 5 & 6 there are a couple of Dandy Monster Comic and Magic-Beano Book beauties, all early years along with complete runs of Beano and Dandy comics from 1945. The 1950s offer bound volumes of Lion, Tiger, Radio Fun, TV Fun and School Friend – all high grade. Bunty, Lion, TV 21 and Valiant as well as those magnificent Melody Makers bestride the 60s

Our US section profiles a rare copy of Dick Tracy No 1 from 1937 with a good run of Batman early issues, many CGC graded. The Silver Age is dominated by runs of Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, The Avengers and X-Men and Two-Face returns in Batman #234 CGCd at 9.4.

Remember you can now access Comic Book Auction's 11 year, 45 catalogue run of comics, annuals and artwork in our searchable database. Over 15,000 lots of comic titles, prices, issue numbers, years and grades all readily available. Just go to the top of the main page, click on ComicSearch and find what you need - with our compliments.
