Head in his hand and seated on a bucket for his 1941, first annual appearance, Oor Wullie, a favourite character from the Scottish Sunday Post, led the bidding in a September 9 comics sale.
Offered as part of the Comic Book Auctions (16% buyer’s premium) sale that ended on September 9, it sold at £4550 – but a little more had been hoped for, given that the covers were bright and fresh and the pages still creamy, if a little darkened at the edges.
