Breaking records: A single page of Spider-Man comics sold for more than $ 3 million

From its earliest days on the pages of Marvel comics in 1962, Spider-Man was one of the most beloved and successful superheroes. Also in cinema, his first film series was a kind of opening shot for the current generation of superhero films that break the box office again and again, and in other media, like video games and cartoon series, he is considered the leading hero in sales popularity.

In recent weeks, Marvel’s new feature film, Spider-Man: There’s no way home, he also breaks records, With unparalleled revenues during the Corona era, and it has already topped the list of the ten most lucrative films ever – even though many cinemas around the world are closed or limit the number of viewers.

At an auction held last Friday in Texas, a single page of the Spider-Man comic was sold for an incredible $ 3.36 million. The page is taken from issue number 8 of the booklet “The Secret Wars” and reveals for the first time Spider-Man’s black suit – the one created when he merges with the alien symbiote Venom, who also stars in a successful film series today.

This is a record price for a single page of comics and is almost identical to the record price of an entire Spider-Man booklet sold last year for $ 3.4 million. The previous record for a single page was about $ 650,000, per page from a booklet by the green giant, which first introduced the popular character of Wolverine.

The current page, then, not only broke the record but doubled it more than 5 times. Apparently Spider-Man’s current popularity has greatly helped raise that price, paving the way for more sales records in the future.
