The Most Expensive Piece Of Comic Art In The World

Sure those Golden Age issues of comics with the first appearance of a soon to be icon sell for tons of money but that is to be expected. However, the most expensive piece of actual comic art ever sold is this piece by Frank Miller that went for $448,125. It is a image of Batman and Robin (actually the first female Robin) from a series Miller did in the 1980's.

Funnyman the World's First Jewish Superhero


Funnyman was a short lived comic book series created by Superman's Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Via. Boing Boing

Funnyman was a clown-like superhero who used gags, pranks and Yiddishisms to defeat his humor-deficient enemies. He was a dead ringer for Danny Kaye, one of my favorite comedians. The comic book was a total flop. It ran for six issues and went out of business. Siegel and Shuster tried to keep it going as a newspaper strip, but gave up after a year. The team never worked together again.
