Marvel: Spider-Man breaks (also) records at auction
BUSINESS – An original page of a 1984 Spider-Man comic has just reached the record sum of $ 3.36 million at auction. The proof, if need be, of the unalterable popularity of the spider-man, 60 years after his birth.

The boss of the box office is Peter Parker. With $1.6 billion in revenue worldwide since its release in early December, Spider-Man: No Way Home with Tom Holland is currently the 8th greatest success in the history of cinema. And it’s already the biggest hit of the Spider-Man solo, without the Avengers, far ahead of Sam Raimi’s popular trilogy in the early 2000s.
Sixty after its first appearance in the comic book Amazing Fantasy, the character created by Stan Lee and designer Steve Ditko therefore remains a safe bet at the box office. But not only. At an auction held last Friday in Dallas, an original panel of a comic book dating from 1984 reached the sum of 3.36 million dollars (2.9 million euros), the never seen for a superhero.
