A collection of some of the most prized comic books ever published is expected to fetch more than US$2 million at auction this week in the U.S., AP reported.

Michael Rorrer said he thought his great uncle Billy Wright's comics were cool, but he didn't realize how valuable they were for months after finding the 345 comics neatly stacked in a basement closet while clearing out his great aunt's home after her death.

The collection includes 44 of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide's list of top 100 issues from comics' golden age.

The Action Comics No. 1 in which Superman makes his first appearance is expected to sell for about $325,000. A Detective Comics No. 27, the 1939 issue that features the first appearance of Batman, is expected to get about $475,000. And the Captain America No. 2 is expected to bring in about $100,000.

       据美联社报道,一组出版史上极为珍贵的漫画书藏品有望在本周美国的拍卖会上拍出200多万美元的高价。

       罗勒表示,他觉得姨姥爷莱特的收藏挺好,姨姥姥去世后,他收拾其房子时,在地下室的柜子里,发现了整齐排放的345本漫画书,但其后好几个月都没认识到书的价值。

       该收藏有44本名列《斯特里特漫画书价格指南》的漫画黄金时代100期漫画榜。

       超人首次亮相的《动作漫画第一期》有望卖出约32.5万美元。1939年出版的蝙蝠侠首次出现的《侦探漫画第二期》有望拍出47.5万美元左右。而《美国队长第二期》有望卖出约10万美元。
