Europe’s largest comic book auction company, Vault Auctions are forever
committed to bringing collectors from around the world the largest selection of
collectibles as well as the most diverse. They have recently expanded their
auction listings to nine categories They have worked feverishly behind the
scenes acquiring and processing items for this auction.

In addition to
books such as Spy Smasher #1, Tales of Suspense #39, Fantastic
Four #1 and Hulk 31, their expanded categories now include the
largest selection of original art and movie posters that Vault Auctions has
presented to date. One of the highlights is a rare three-sheet poster for the
1956 re-release of King Kong.

Another definite highlight is the
original artwork for page 23 of Fantastic Four #3. This is the issue
where the Fantastic Four first don their costumes, establish their Headquarters
and the Fantasti-Car makes it’s debut. Original art from Fantastic Four
#1 or #2 are not known to exist, so this may o be one of the earliest FF full
pages to exist.

On another note, they are listing an Amazing Spider-Man
Sweet Cigarette Case. This rare find is a complete case of 72 packs of the 1979
Amazing Spider-Man candy sticks. Each pack still contain the original candy
sticks and feature Spider-Man graphics on four sides.
