Press Release - April 17, 2026

Heritage Auctions Launches Comics and Comic Art Boutique Direct Sale Platform

New curated selection of treasures from every era of comic book history available to collectors for immediate purchase, updated regularly

Batman #1 (DC, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 White pages
DALLAS, Texas (April 17, 2026) — As part of its never-ending efforts to better serve the collecting community, Heritage Auctions offers a new direct sale platform, the Comic Books and Comic Art Boutique.

The Comic Books and Comic Art Boutique is a curated selection to complement the company’s industry-leading auctions. Spanning the Golden Age to the contemporary, these treasures are offered publicly from Heritage for a fixed price for the first time, available to be shipped immediately from the auction house’s Dallas headquarters.

The Comic Books and Comic Art Boutique is not Heritage’s first foray into direct sales related to the hobby, merely a newly curated public format for the significant private sales the department has been facilitating for years. Previous examples include the December 2025 $1.95 million sale of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer 6 and a recent $13 million transaction, one of the largest private comics sales ever recorded, comprising a Batman No. 1 CGC 9.4, the highest-graded known copy, for $6 million, alongside the second highest-graded copy of Superman No. 1, a CGC 8.5 Mile High pedigree copy, for $7 million.

Offered alongside Heritage’s industry-leading Comic Books and Comic Art online auctions, the boutique page simplifies the path for direct sales with an intuitive, easily navigated online resource for immediate purchases. Initial offerings range from the complete story original artwork for Marvel’s Sgt. Fury No. 5 to the 1939 Marvel Comics No. 1 October Copy to original Charles Schulz Peanuts weekday and Sunday strip artwork.

“As the leading worldwide Comics and Comic Art auction house, we constantly strive to increase the cultural visibility and appreciation of this great artform that we all love, not only through record-setting prices at auction, but exhibitions in our galleries, displays at conventions around the world, helping facilitate museum exhibition loans and advising collectors on every aspect of their collecting,” says Todd Hignite, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Comic Art. “We’re proud of the trust shown from our worldwide collector base generated by our commitment to all aspects of comics and their history, and this direct sale service is one more important resource we’re proud to introduce to our community.”

The selection will be regularly updated, and Heritage welcomes clients with questions about any of the offerings or who are thinking of selling comparable material to contact Heritage by email.
