錘哥漫畫封面賣44,000英鎊
A comic book cover that hung on a schoolgirl’s bedroom wall for 30 years has sold at auction for a staggering 44,000 pounds.
最近，一副曾在小女孩臥室掛了30年多年的漫畫封面以44,000英鎊的價格拍賣成功。
The original art work for Marvel Comic superhero Thor had been valued at 5,000 pounds after the owner decided she wanted to sell it. However, the unnamed woman, now 42, was left stunned when it attracted worldwide interest from serious comic collectors. It went under the hammer for 36,000 pounds and was bought by an American bidder for 44,000 pounds, with fees added on.
漫畫的原型是漫威超級英雄雷神索爾。起初就被估價5,000英鎊。當年的小女孩，如今已經42歲。她從沒想到，這幅畫能引起全世界漫畫死忠粉這麼大的興趣。最終，該漫畫封面競買價叫到36,000英鎊，最後加上其他費用以總價44,000英鎊成交。
The art work was for Thor comic issue 158 dated December 1968, which is said to be a significant edition as it was when Thor realised he was a superhero. The adventures of Thor have since inspired a movie franchise starring Chris Hemsworth.
這幅漫畫於1968年12月發行，索爾在本專輯首次成爲超級英雄。這在漫威史上有很重要的地位。隨後，克里斯·海姆斯沃斯扮演的《雷神》電影大熱。
The cover was the work of celebrated comic artist Jack Kirby , who helped to create Hulk, Captain America and X-Men.
漫畫作者是著名漫畫藝術家Jack Kirby，他還參與過綠巨人、美國隊長和X戰警等超級英雄的創作。
The owner was given the comic book cover as a gift by her late father when she was a child. He was a leading art director and is likely to have acquired the cover via a contact. He gave it to his daughter, who pinned it up in her bedroom in the mid 1970s.
該漫畫是這位女士小時候，父親送她的禮物。她父親曾經是著名佈景師，可能通過內部渠道獲得此封面。隨後，他把封面送給女兒。在她臥室一掛就是30多年。
Richard Bromell, of Charterhouse Auctioneers in Sherborne, Dorset, said: “The cover is the original art work and I think the owner realised it could be valuable and so decided to sell it, rather than keep it hanging up on the wall. We estimated it would sell for between 5,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds, but we were very proactive in finding bidders and had nine of them on the telephones as well as those in the room. It ended up selling for 36,000 pounds to a collector from Ohio in America. The owner was obviously over the moon. We are also delighted with it.”
拍賣行工作人員Richard Bromell表示：“該封面是原作，我想收藏者正是意識到它的價值，才決定賣出，而不是讓它靜靜的掛在牆上。我們起初給它估值5,000英鎊到8,000英鎊，沒想到電話中和在場的競價者給它的價值翻了9倍。這讓我們着實激動。最後以36,000英鎊的價格成交，買主來自美國俄亥俄州。原主人估計高興壞了，我們也替她開心。”
