Comic Book Art Sold at Skyrocket Prices

Last week the original art comic book page that introduced the Wolverine, was sold for an impressive $657, 250. This page was found in issue number 180 of  "The Incredible Hulk," from 1974. In 1983, Herb Trimpe, the original artist of the Wolverine page gave the comic to young fan. The anonymous owner had visited Trimpe's home several times, hoping to receive a cornucopia of signed comic books from the artist. At the end of one of the visits, the fan was given the page of the Wolverine. A portion of the money will be given to a  specific charity which is set out to help young comic book artists thrive in our society. In the past, other art covers have been sold for extremely high prices. Spiderman and Batman have been the more notable Marvel Comic superheroes sold over the past few years.
