A Single Fantastic Four Comic Page is Currently Selling for $15,000

by

The Fantastic Four are experiencing a surge in popularity, highlighted by a single page from their first comic book recently selling for a very high price. It’s been a significant year for Marvel’s original superhero team and those who created them. Last year, a new comic, Fantastic Four: First Steps, was released, and New York City honored co-creator Jack Kirby by renaming a street after him and the team. While always popular, the Fantastic Four are particularly hot right now.

A single page of artwork from a classic comic book is selling for a surprisingly high price at auction. Heritage Auctions is currently accepting bids on a page from Fantastic Four #76, an original piece created by comic book legends Jack Kirby (artist) and Joe Sinnott (inker). The auction house highlights Kirby’s imaginative depiction of outer space, the introduction of the villain Psycho-Man, and how Sinnott’s inking adds depth to the artwork. At the time of this writing, the current bid is over $15,000.

A Single Page from Fantastic Four #76 is Selling For Thousands

Fantastic Four #76 is a typical adventure from the team’s classic era. When Galactus threatens Earth, the Fantastic Four shrink down to the Microverse to find the Silver Surfer and ask for his help. Although they locate the Surfer, he escapes, and they also encounter Psycho-Man, who sends a powerful being called the Indestructible One against them. As usual, the Fantastic Four manage to save the day – the Surfer destroys the Indestructible One and goes to confront Galactus. It’s not a particularly groundbreaking story, but it’s a fun, visually interesting science fiction adventure.

While the roughly $15,000 this comic page is earning is noteworthy, it’s far from the highest price ever paid for single-page comic art. That record belongs to a page from Secret Wars #8, featuring Spider-Man’s first full appearance in the black suit, which sold for a staggering $3.36 million at auction. However, the value of this Fantastic Four #76 page still demonstrates how much more people appreciate and are willing to pay for individual comic book artwork. In the past, only complete comics commanded such high prices.

We’re in a new era where people are finally recognizing the incredible contributions of comic book artists like Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott. Their work is the foundation for so many of the superhero stories we enjoy today. It’s wonderful to see comic artists getting the appreciation they deserve, particularly after years of unfair treatment and inadequate pay. Though Kirby and Sinnott aren’t here to witness this shift, it’s a positive sign that comic artists are finally being valued as they should be.
