The bagged-and-boarded issues of superhero titles from Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and independent publishers were donated by a private collector. Firm prices range from $3 to $40-50 or more per pack, well below collector guide values. Some 300 loose single copies will also be available for $1 each. Higher priced packs contain comics that are more desirable to collectors; some issues may be older, or showcase the work of a popular artist, or have a variant cover. Popular titles include “Fantastic Four,” “X-Men,” “Superman” and “Suicide Squad,” all of which have been recent movies. The comic books are grouped by series title. Sale’s guest curator Richard Pini, co-creator with his wife Wendy Pini of the fantasy comic book series “Elfquest” will be at book store from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Jan. 28 to answer questions about comic books and “Elfquest.,” and will also autograph any “Elfquest” books that people bring in.
