Mid‑month, Artmark's Rare Book and Original Comic Strip Auction finishes on October 7, delivering original newspaper strips and early comic art that appeal to both historians and fans of classic storytelling. The following day, Island Auction wraps its online sale on October 8, offering bulk comic lots that cater to collectors looking to expand their holdings quickly.

The mid‑October window sees Able Auctions' dedicated comic book auction close on the 15th. This event highlights a curated selection of high‑grade titles, including sought‑after Bronze Age Marvel issues, many graded in the upper 9s, reflecting a market trend toward premium condition lots.

Culminating the month, Baldwin's live comic auction, timed with the MCM Comicon event, ends on October 25. Conducted in a live setting, it blends the excitement of in‑person bidding with the prestige of convention‑linked inventory, featuring marquee titles such as early appearances of iconic superheroes.

Across these eight auctions, the prevailing themes are clear: estate-driven provenance, the rise of online bidding platforms, a focus on high‑grade Bronze Age Marvel material, and the integration of live convention sales. Collectors can expect continued diversity in lot composition and increasing accessibility, whether they prefer the click of a mouse or the buzz of a live auction floor.
