Frank Bellamy’s artwork for a TV Century 21 spread – £4750 at Comic Book Auctions.
Though it sold just a touch under the lower estimate, a copy of the 1938 launch issue of Beano was the top lot in a Comic Book Auctions (19% buyer’s premium) timed auction of March 3 held on thesaleroom.com.
Bid to £8700, it was accompanied by an eight-page ‘mini-comic’ flyer promoting the new publication from DC Thomson (see News Digest, p10).
