DALLAS — A frenzy of eager bidders drove original cover art from Frank Brunner’s Doctor Strange #1 (Marvel, 1974) to $408,000 that was from an important collection that led Heritage Auctions’ Comics & Comic Art Signature® Auction on November 21. When Doctor Strange was published in 1974, he was not yet a major Marvel character, but he has evolved into a major figure in the Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) in the nearly six decades since. The “Master of the Mystic Arts” has solidified his stature through his role in MCU movies, as a character in Strange Tales and ultimately in his own title, with this image fronting the premier issue. Highlights from the auction include works from Detective Comics, Origins of Marvel Comics and Action Comics and helped achieve an overall total of $17.6 million. For information, www.ha.com.
