Heritage Auctions (215 W. Ohio) in River North is smack dab in the middle of its Comics and Comic Art auction, which ends Saturday. Not only can you see priceless superhero and comic art if you stop by before then, but also a live auction.
Items in the auction range from original artwork to such comics as Action Comics #1 (the first appearance of Superman, which sold for over half a million dollars) to a Frank Frazetta painting from Death Dealer 6 (which sold for much, much more) to a vintage Batman hand puppet currently at $34. Here's a sample of the lots.
