million on ComicConnect's website.That issue features the debut of Su-perman and originally sold for 10 UScents.
In February 2010, Heritage Auctions inDallas sold a rare copy of DetectiveComics No.27, which featured thedebut of Batman, for $1,075,500. Fish-ler said the same issue had initially soldfor just $2500 in 1985 and for $140,000in 2000.
"Over the last decade it has become arather legendary copy because it wasin the hands of a collector and no onethought he would sell," Fishler said."The owner came up with a figure thathe didn't think anyone would pay, and itwas paid."
"Amazing Fantasy" No.15 has longbeen prized by collectors because ofSpider-Man's debut. It has beenreprinted and made available as ahard-cover, too.
The cover, drawn by Jack Kirby and
Steve Ditko, shows Spider-Man clutch-ing a villain in one arm and swingingfrom his web with the other. It originallysold for 12 cents.
Writer Stan Lee and Ditko co-createdthe web-slinger and his alter ego, theawkward but educationally gifted PeterParker, who was bitten by a radioactivespider.
"Spider-Man is one of Marvel's flagshipcharacters so, yeah, I'd say 'AmazingFantasy' is very important," said Mar-vel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso."Funny thing is, the series - which wasformerly titled 'Amazing Adult Fantasy'- was scheduled for cancellation beforeissue 'Amazing Fantasy' No.15 hitstands. It ended up being one of Mar-vel's highest sellers at the time, andpaving the road for the 'Amazing Spi-der-Man' series that's run monthly eversince."
It also helped pave the way for Spider-Man adventures on the radio, televisionand the movie screen.

Eric Clapton’s benefit guitar auction raisesover $2 MillionCollectors, fans and musicians from allcorners of the globe gathered at Bon-hams New York to bid for 138 lots,made up of 75 guitars and 55 ampsfrom Clapton's personal collection.
Memorabilia including Clapton'sthree-piece "stage suit" made bythe late fashion designer GianniVersace was also included in thesale.
$2.15 Million was raised for TheCrossroads Centre in Antigua - adrug rehabilitation center set up bythe reformed addict Clapton in 1998 .
Despite being considered an auctionfor fans, with the most expensive gui-tars estimated to fetch no more than$26,221, strong bids, notablyfrom a Russian collector,pushed sale prices wellbeyond expectation.
A 1948 hollow-body Gib-son guitar generated thehighest bid: valued at be-tween $17,000 to$25,000, it sold for$72,287. According to the orig-inal catalogue de-scription, Claptonsaid that it "had plentyof use and would havebeen used on the bluesalbum".
The biggest surprise of the sale wasthe 1979 Danny Ferrington three-quar-ter-sized guitar valued at between$265 to $440, which sold for $36,850.
The guitar was accompanied by
a hand-written and signed note fromguitar maker Danny Ferrington statinghe built the "tipple size" guitar for Eric
Clapton in 1979. It said: "Ericloved this guitar. He said he likedthe look of carrying it around andgetting off an airplane with it. I al-ways said they were professionalquality toys."
Jon Baddeley, worldwide head ofcollectables at Bonhams said: "Ithas been a privilege and an honourworking on this excep tional saleand being associated with one ofthe most iconic living musicians,Eric Clapton. "Arguably the great-est guitarist of all time, Eric Clap-ton inspires an ever-expanding fanbase, many of whom made thejourney to Bonhams in New York
over the past few daysand joined us for this re-markable auction.
"We were delighted toplay our part in raising
funds for The Cross-roads Centre, acharity with a noblemission and a causethat remains veryclose to Eric's heart."
Guitar highlights in-cluded a 1948 Gib-
son L-5P, estimated at$20,000-30,000, that
sold for a staggering$82,960; and a 2005 Zemaitis S22BP3S, estimated at $12,000-18,000,which sold for $75,640. The top amp ofthe sale was a pair of 1997 FenderTwin Amps, estimated at $9,000-12,000, sold for $42,700.
Announcements day of sale supersede all printed advertisements.
80 Times EstimateFor ChinesePlaqueAuction News Network- A Taiwanesecollector paid an astounding $94,800for a Chinese celadon jade oval plaque,over 80 times the $1,500 high estimateit had carried at Clars Auction Gallery’sMarch sale in Oakland.
It was only the latest example of the es-calating prices Asian buyers are payingfor items reflecting their heritage. Clars’President, Redge Martin, called thesale “astonishing.”
It is charred and its contents are un-drinkable, but its rarity is extreme: a sin-gle bottle of Lowenbrau rescued fromthe wreck of the Hindenburg has sold atauction for $16,000.
