Palm Beach Modern Auctions Presents CGC-Graded Comics and Contemporary Fine Art

A 1962 copy of Marvel’s Amazing Fantasy #15, the comic book anthology that first introduced the character Spider-Man, will soon come under the hammer at Palm Beach Modern Auctions. The available copy received a grade of 5.0 from CGC. It introduces the origin story of Peter Parker (Spider-Man), which would be retold many more times in his dedicated comic book series. The sale includes several other rare and collectible comic books, including a CGC 7.0-grade copy of DC Comics’ Detective Comics #128, which features Batman and the Joker in “Crimes in Reverse.” Comic books featuring the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the Silver Surfer will also be available. 

This sale, presented in association with Urban Culture Auctions, focuses on comics, pop culture, fashion, and art from the 1950s to present. Among the top lots is a 110-inch tall painting by American contemporary artist Mark Flood. Executed in 2013, the work is titled RCA 9 and uses small blue squares to evoke hazy pixels. The irreverent artist is known for criticizing and parodying the mainstream art world and its mores. Also on offer is a 2022 Darth Vader sculpture created by CHROMA (Rick Wolfryd) in collaboration Huichol artisans from Mexico; an early “Womb” chair by Finnish-American designer Eero Saarinen; and a 1993 signed folk art painting by American artist and minister Howard Finster.
