ComicLink Sells Tales of Suspense #39 CGC 9.6 for $375,000
ComicLink has sold Tales of Suspense #39 in the condition of CGC 9.6, for $375,000. This is the second highest
publicly reported sale ever for a comic published during the period known as the “Silver Age” of comic books,
which represents the time period between late 1956 through 1969. It is also the single highest Silver Age sale
that is not Spider-Man related. The scan of the comic book as well as the description can be viewed on the Comic
Book Exchange section of ComicLink.com.
“The importance of this issue has always been clear” says Nathanson. “Iron Man has been a major player in Marvel’s
stable of heroes since his 1963 introduction, and was a founding member of the Avengers super-team. He has
been featured in countless comic book storylines from that time until the present day, and has always been a
popular superhero. However, with the release of two well done Iron Man movies, with Robert Downey Jr. playing
Tony Stark to perfection in both, Iron Man has been solidified as an ‘A-list’ superhero with buzz comparable to
that of Spider-Man’s.”
“This near pristine example of Tales of Suspense #39 was a special offering and a prime opportunity for our
discerning buyer to obtain one of the very best examples that will ever come available for purchase,” commented
ComicLink Consignment Director Douglas Gillock. “Our firm is utilized by the most advanced collectors in the
world to obtain access to the most desirable books in the world.”
“We encourage collector-investors seeking material of the highest quality to contact us – we have longstanding
relationships with the owners of some of the most valuable material in the hobby,” added Nathanson. “At the
same time, we can be an enormous resource for those looking to add top investment quality comic books or
comic art to an investment portfolio.”
“Parties interested in investing or consigning top notch material may contact Josh Nathanson at (617) 517-0062,
extension 101, or Douglas Gillock (617) 517-0062, extension 102. Though ComicLink frequently offers impressive
material on it’s web site, there are many items that will never be sold in a public format. The most serious of
investors should definitely give us a call.” Action Comics #1 CGC 6.5$625,000This is the highest sale ever for an example of Action Comics #1 or any other comic book in the condition of 6.5, and the third-highest amount ever paid for any example of Action Comics #1.
Avengers #4 CGC 9.6$91,501Underscoring just how unusual it is for an Avengers #4 in CGC 9.6 NM+ to come to auction, it has been nearly 4 years since we have offered one for sale and this is the very first time we have done so in auction format.
Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.9$150,000The issue is one of the most highly collected of all vintage Marvel comic books and we believe that in CGC 9.9, this example is definitively the most significant single comic book graded by CGC published in the last 35 years.
“My greatest professional accomplishments are ComicLink’s innovations and its
reputation for integrity, reliability, and outstanding service.”
