Now even the art market is interested in original comic books and plates.
For example, a “Blue Lotus” plate from the Adventures of Tintin by the Belgian cartoonist and scriptwriter Hergé has reached a record price. The same applies to the Astro Boy plates by Japanese manga artist Ozamu Tezuka, an issue of Action Comics featuring Superman for the first time or an issue of Detective Comics featuring Batman for the first time…
In short, Franco-Belgian comics, Japanese manga and American comics are at the top of the list. But fortunately, the market for original comic strips is not just a market of millionaires who are desperate to acquire the drawings of their childhood. Many comic book authors now see the sale of original plates as a way of supplementing their income when their albums are released in bookshops, thanks to galleries dedicated to comic books.
