A funnybook “wet” dream!

I don’t know know about the rest of you Alices, but when I have a truly sweet dream, it goes something like this. When auctioneer John Anderson whet to clear-out a house in Fenham, Newcastle the other day....

...instead of discovering a few odds and ends, he stumbled on this giant collection of comic books, including famous titles like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man and Flash Gordon.

Also found were hundreds of never-used books on the subject and even original sketches from illustrators at world-renowned publishers Marvel and DC Comics.

Now, the whole lot is set to fetch thousands at a special auction on Tyneside this week.

Only my dream doesn’t end with me selling the books, but keeping them all!
