FAIRBANKS, Alaska – A longtime Alaska comic book buff is selling one of the gems in his vast collection, a rare copy of Batman No. 1 published 70 years ago.
Mike Wheat of Fairbanks has put the 1940 comic book on the auction block through Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, where it's expected to fetch more than $40,000. Online bids already have climbed to $35,000 for the book, believed to be one of fewer than 300 still in existence.
Online bids will compete with a live auction set for Thursday.
The second and fourth Batman issues also will be part of Thursday's auction. They are expected to bring more than $5,000 combined.

Right now the highest bid is 40K. If we sell Mitch, XIII & Tragic as sex slaves we should have enough to go up to 60k. Mitch & Tragic we can sell as a set. Tragic is young and unsullied and we all know how profitable fresh meat can be. Mitch on the other hand is older & more used and we know for a fact he'll do anything thats asked of him.
I'm throwing XIII in there just to sweeten the pot.
Batman #1 CGC 5.5 at Auction right now
