I love this gallery of British comics which will go under the hammer in a mega Newcastle auction

The incredible array of everything from Roy of the Rovers to Oor Wullie and Bunty to Valentine is going under the hammer next month at Anderson & Garland, on March 11 and 12.

It is the first portion of the lifetime’s collection of renowned collector Peter Hansen, from Byker, with pieces expected to sell for up to £1,800.

The collection is so vast that the two largest comics auctioneers in the United Kingdom - Anderson & Garland and Excalibur Auctions - will collaborate on a series of sales throughout 2026.

In the meantime, find out more about the The Peter Hansen Collection of Comics – Premiere Sale here.
