NEW YORK, N.Y., July 28, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Wonder Woman, the most popular female superhero, continues her meteoric rise. Her much-anticipated movie sequel, \u201cWonder Woman 1984,\u201d will be released in early fall. But before then, fans and collectors can score a piece of her magic, including original comic books and a one-of-a-kind movie prop, thanks to ComicConnect\u2019s August Event Auction<\/a>. They\u2019ll also be able to bid on coveted superhero movie props, which rarely – if ever – come up for auction.<\/p>\n

\"Wonder
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve seen again and again that successful superhero movies drive up related comic values\u2014so our winning bidders can expect to see their investments grow,\u201d notes Vincent Zurzolo, co-owner of the leading vintage comic book marketplace.<\/p>\n

And, he notes, Wonder Woman is special. She\u2019s not only as popular as Batman and Superman, she\u2019s also an authentic feminist icon.<\/p>\n

The creation of Dr. William Moulton Marston, the Amazing Amazon first appeared in comics in 1941. Not surprisingly, her character proved popular with little girls – including feminist activist Gloria Steinem, who, in 1972, put her on the inaugural cover of Ms. magazine, a groundbreaking feminist publication. In 2016, the United Nations named Wonder Woman a UN Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls. Her recent movies have brought her even more fans.<\/p>\n

Featured Wonder Woman Auction Items <\/strong><\/p>\n

ComicConnect\u2019s Event Auction #43 kicks off on August 1 and ends August 24-28. Some of the most anticipated items include:<\/p>\n

The Lasso of Truth Movie Prop from \u201cBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice\u201d (Warner Bros., 2016)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This incredibly-rare production item was created for Wonder Woman\u2019s first movie appearance. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Hero Prop, a highly-respected dealer of movie memorabilia.<\/p>\n

The lasso, Wonder Woman\u2019s signature weapon, compels those in its grasp to tell the truth. (Ironically, her creator, Dr. Marston, also invented the first lie detector.) It\u2019s expected to sell for $15-$20,000.<\/p>\n

All Star Comics #8, CGC-graded 9.4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comics featuring a character\u2019s first appearance are typically the most valuable. This 1941 comic marked Wonder Woman\u2019s first appearance and is the highest-graded copy in existence. In 2017, it sold for $936,223, so this time it may break $1 million.<\/p>\n

Sensation Comics #1, CGC 9.6
\n<\/strong>
\nThis issue marked Wonder Woman\u2019s second appearance. This is the single-highest graded CGC-certified copy.<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman #6, CGC 9.4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also the highest-graded copy in existence, this comic marked the first appearance of Cheetah, Wonder Woman\u2019s archenemy. It\u2019s particularly significant because Cheetah, as played by Kristin Wiig, is featured in the upcoming movie.<\/p>\n

Featured Movie Props<\/strong><\/p>\n

As superhero movies have triumphed at the box office, movie props have become another sought-after collectible. These storied rarities – all which come with Certificates of Authenticity – will also be up for auction:<\/p>\n
