Comics, Comic Books, Marvel or DC?

 

Whether you call them Comics or Comic Books – or whether you’re into Marvel or DC, Super-Man or Spider-Man?  Batman or the X-Men? (or something else entirely!) there’s no doubt that some of the key issues, such as golden and silver age titles, attract some seriously competitive bidding and high prices at auction - particularly in one of our specialist comic auctions.

Excalibur Auctions is the UK's #1 Comic Auction House - holding more comic auctions and selling more comics than any other in the UK (in 2024 we sold nearly 1,000,000 comics across 6 specialist auctions)

We have been running successful Comic Auctions since January 2019 when we entered the marketplace with a fairly large 'Kapow' with some key titles including an 'Amazing Fantasy #15' which sold for a very respectable £17,900 (including Buyers' Premium).

This is an area in which we have continually surpassed market expectations, priding ourselves on our cataloguing and photographing to give all buyers worldwide the confidence to buy. 

We have continued to lead the way in the UK which was proven in our June 2024 Comic Auction when we became the first Auction House in the UK to sell a Superman #1 which achieved £95,550 (including buyer's premium)

If you have a comic collection to sell or individual comic books, or comic art, we’d be happy to help you further.  We offer for auction, graded (slabbed) comic books as well as 'raw' issues, and can guide you on whether getting your comics graded by CGC or another grader is a worthwhile option.  We can assist in obtaining the grading for you, and advise on cleaning and pressing if necessary.

We’ll consider all titles in all conditions, including Golden Age: 1938 (Action Comics #1 first appearance of Superman) to 1955, Silver Age: 1956 to 1969, Bronze Age: 1970 to 1983, Copper Age: 1984 to 1991, Modern Age: 1992 to date, across all genres, including Superheroes, Action, Adventure, Cartoon, Fantasy, Horror, Humour, Monster, Mystery, Noir, Romance, Science Fiction, Sport, TV & Film, Underground, War and Western.  We auction comic books, graded comic books (CGC), graphic novels and trade paperbacks, price guides (e.g. Overstreet Price Guide) and comic related magazines (e.g. Comics International and Wizard The Guide to Comics) and other related comic ephemera

so give Terry, our comic specialist, a call, or use our online valuation form and we’ll be happy to provide you with a FREE no-obligation valuation.

If you prefer to visit us, then give us a call so we can get the kettle on and we'll value your comics free of charge with no obligation to sell.

Our auction results speak for themselves and it is simple to search through our past comic auctions to get an idea of value and how we will present your items for sale.

We also offer a collection service if you're unable to bring the comics to us yourself.
