Sandman Drawn By Jack Kirby, Up for Auction

Sandman, Jed Walker not the master of dreams, debuted in the bronze age in 1974 to much acclaim and featuring covers by none other that Jack Kirby. The first issue of the series was the final collaboration by Kirby and Joe Simon, one of the great duos in the history of comics. So, the prestige of this run, short as it was, it there in spades. While Kirby drew the first issue, the rest of them had art by Kirby and Ernie Chan, and is written by Michael Fleisher. I have always enjoyed this series, and today at Heritage Auctions two of the six issues, #2 and #3, both CGC 9.6, are taking bids. #2 is at $78, while #3 is at only $56. Check them out below.
