“ComicLink is starting out 2018 with a bang with recent consignments for some of the biggest books in the hobby,” ComicLink founder and CEO Josh Nathanson said.

They recently listed one of the most sought comic books, Action Comics #1 (first Superman), on The Comic Book Exchange. Nathanson described it as, “a conserved CGC 7.0 example with a beautiful, high-end cover and supple, off-white interior page preservation.” A Fantastic Four #1 (first Fantastic Four) CGC 9.0 has also recently been listed on The Exchange.

Meanwhile, the January Focused Auction, beginning on January 10, will start the year with a splash as it contains an Amazing Fantasy #15 (first Spider-Man)  in the coveted mid-grade CGC 7.0 condition, the Daredevil collection from the John G. Fantucchio Pedigree collection, and many exciting comic books from the Golden Age to the present, plus original artwork.

The Winter Featured Auction, beginning on February 15, has an even more impressive Amazing Fantasy #15 ‒ a stunning CGC 9.0 CVA. The same auction also features a Batman #1 (first Joker and first Catwoman) CGC 5.0 Conserved, a just listed Showcase #22 (first Silver Age Green Lantern) CGC 8.5, an Incredible Hulk #1 (first Hulk) CGC 7.5, Daredevil #1 (first Daredevil) CBCS 9.6, Fantastic Four #1 CGC 8.0, Brave and the Bold #28 (first Justice League) CGC 8.0, and so much more already posted to the auction preview and incoming from their consignors.
