NEW YORK – Jasper52 will sell 112 vintage comic books, many from the industry’s Silver Age (circa 1956-1970), in a no-reserve online auction on Friday, Feb. 12. Because this auction has no reserves, the high bidder on each lot will prevail. Bid absentee or live online exclusively through LiveAuctioneers.

Daredevil fans looking to fill out their collections have 27 different titles to vie for starting with issue #16 (May 1965). “The Man Without Fear” shares the cover of that issue with Spider-Man (above).

Another Marvel mainstay, Captain America, earned his own comic book title, taking over Tales of Suspense with issue #100 in April 1968. “Cap” is featured on the cover leading fellow Marvel Comics superheroes into the fray.
