Comic Interlude: SGB Auctions Launch New Pop Culture Category

We're thrilled to announce that Comics will be our next new category, kicking off in October, live from the UK's largest pop culture event - MCM Comic Con London.  

This dynamic and richly layered category weaves together art, narrative, and cultural significance in every issue. As with Coins, Stamps, Militaria, and Trading Cards, value in comics is intrinsically linked to rarity, provenance, condition, and iconic status. Emerging in the 19th century, Comics quickly established themselves as a collectable asset. 

"We are expanding our multi-category offering with the launch of comic auctions. Comics, first published in the 1800s, have grown into a major collectable field where rarity, provenance, and above all condition play a crucial role - paralleling the principles that have long guided our work with stamps and coins.

With this launch, we’re proud and very excited to bring our expertise and trusted approach to a new generation of collectors." - Iain Murphy, SGB co-CEO

Following our launch in October at MCM, we're proud to announce our first SGB Signature Sale will take place in November.  The 'Alan McCulloch Collection' features exceptional Silver Age Marvel highlights including Tales of Suspense #39, Journey Into Mystery #83 and #85, and Amazing Spider-Man #1. With standout titles spanning the origins of Iron Man, Thor and Loki.  Register for the latest auction information here
