A rare #1 issue of Batman pops up in Fairbanks Alaska (natch) and the owner now puts it up for auction where it's expected to fetch five figures.


FAIRBANKS, Alaska – A longtime Alaska comic book buff is selling one of the gems in his vast collection, a rare copy of Batman No. 1 published 70 years ago.
Mike Wheat of Fairbanks has put the 1940 comic book on the auction block through Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, where it's expected to fetch more than $40,000. Online bids already have climbed to $35,000 for the book, believed to be one of fewer than 300 still in existence.
Online bids will compete with a live auction set for Thursday.
The second and fourth Batman issues also will be part of Thursday's auction. They are expected to bring more than $5,000 combined.

Wouldn't mind having that one...
M'father tells me when he was a boy he had issues of Batman, Superman, Aquaman and so on but alas as with many other comic collecting boy who grew up and left home... his momma gave them to some other young kid on the block because her boy is just too old for that nonsense.
Nooooooo grandma noooooooo!
