One page of Spider-Man comic book sold at auction for $3.36 million

One page of a Spider-Man comic has sold at Heritage Auctions for $3.36 million, according to Sky News.

A page printed in 1984 shows the superhero for the first time in a black suit, being consumed by the Venom symbiont.

According to vice president of the auction house Joe Maddalena, the next lot - a high-fidelity copy of the first issue of the comic book about "Superman" - was sold for $ 3.18 million.

Previously, the first edition of "Harry Potter" was sold for a record amount.

This is not only the highest price ever paid for the first Potter book, but also the most expensive 20th-century fiction book ever sold.

The starting price of the lot was $75,000. It was sold for a record $471,000.

The sold edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in 1997 and was printed in an edition of 500 copies.

British writer JK Rowling has written seven Harry Potter books. It is noted that the first hardcover book was printed in an edition of only 500 copies. Subsequently, the books have sold 500 million copies in 80 languages. Eight films based on them have earned $ 7.8 billion at the worldwide box office.
