This summer Warner Bros. announced that a sequel to Wonder Woman is on its way after the superhero slayed in the first film, which was the most successful superhero flick that has come from the DC Extended Universe.
Played by Gal Gadot in the film, Wonder Woman is now a hard hitting superhero adored by thousands, and today, three of the rarest Wonder Woman comic books of all time will be sold on eBay as of Thursday, August 17th.
Two of the comics have only been rumoured to exist in the record breaking conditions they’re in until now, making this an exciting time for comic book history and Wonder Woman fans across the world.
The seller, Darren Adams, owner of Pristine Comics, sold Action Comics #1 in 2014, for a record price of $3.2 million. The sale of the Wonder Woman comics is expected to break the record, given the superhero's massive growth in popularity.
"As a comic book collector, these three Wonder Woman books are truly one-of-a-kind. All three are all in near-perfect condition, which really excites me as a collector,” said Adams. “To think that comics in this condition, which are over 75 years old, are still out there.”
Wonder Woman made her comic book debut in All Star Comics #8 in December 1941. Her cover debut followed on Sensational Comics #1 in January 1942, and the first full-length comic devoted exclusively to her was Wonder Woman #1 the following July.
In total, the three books make up the debut, cover art, and origin for Wonder Woman as an inspirational and beloved comic book character.
This year alone, Wonder Woman has been searched for on eBay more than 460,000 times, and there are currently 150,000 live listings for Wonder Woman products on the site.
With the upcoming sale of the Wonder Woman comics expected to break records, eBay will give a portion of the proceeds to Trafficking Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of human trafficking.
