Old comic books sell for $3.5m - collection with Batman debut - New York




An extraordinary collection of old comic books has sold for $3.5 million (£2.2 million) in New York.

The top comic, which featured Batman's debut, was "Detective Comics No 27", which sold for $523,000. It cost just 10 cents in 1939.

A remarkable collection of 345 comics belonged to Billy Wright, who bought the issues when he was a boy. It was found when Mr Wright died and a relative was clearing the basement of his home in Virginia, USA.
