The Comics category brings together a world of stories and images - from colourful children's adventures to high-value collector's favourites. You'll find everything from classic Swedish comics like Bamse, Kalle Anka and Fantomen to British comics like Beano, Dandy and TV Century 21 among international icons like Asterix and Obelix, Tintin, Batman, Spider-Man and other superheroes from Marvel and DC.
The comic book as a medium emerged in the early 1900s, with pioneers such as the American "The Yellow Kid" and European classics such as Tintin, Asterix and Bamse. In Sweden, comic books had their big impact in the 1950s and 60s, when comics became a natural part of many children's everyday lives. Older comics from the 80s and 90s are often particularly prized, as are first editions, complete volumes and issues in good condition.
Collectors often look for valuable comic books, with factors such as condition, age, issue and cover design affecting market value. Buying or selling comics at auction is a way to both rediscover classics and give them new life - while contributing to a more sustainable collector's market.
