A treasure-trove of comics bought by an American enthusiast when he was a boy has fetched $3.5m at auction in New York. The “jaw-dropping” collection of 345 comics features some of the world’s most sought-after issues, including a pristine copy of Detective Comics No 27, in which Batman made his debut. Despite being published with a cover price of 10 cents in 1939, it sold for $523,000 as the top lot recently. The hoard had once been the prized possession of childhood comic collector Billy Wright, who died in 1994. — The Independent
