AN archive of hundreds of 1960s comics is expected to attract bidders from around the world when it goes up for sale with a Lichfield auctioneer.

Made up of mostly Marvel titles, the collection will be sold by Richard Winterton Auctioneers on 29th September.

Iconic superheroes featured include Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The Silver Surfer, X-Men, The Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Sub-Mariner, Doctor Strange, Daredevil and Thor.

They will be sold across more than 50 lots and are expected to fetch between £4,500 and £7,000.

A spokesperson for Richard Winterton Auctioneers said:

> “From the moment our specialist saw the list of titles, we knew this collection was going to be remarkable.  
>  
> “When the comics were consigned we could see it was an outstanding archive which will doubtless be of great interest to collectors.  
>  
> “It’s especially interesting to see The Fantastic Four issues #48, #49 and #50 featuring the first appearances of the Silver Surfer and Galactus and the original story on which the new movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps is based.  
>  
> “A truly fantastic element of a fantastic collection.”
