Ky. man’s comic books sell for $1.5 million

PADUCAH (AP) — A Kentucky man’s comic book collection with first issues of Superman, Batman and the Flash fetched $1.5 million in an online auction this week.

John Wise had collected the valuable super hero comics over three decades.

A comic from 1940 with the first appearance of Flash claimed the top individual price of $182,000. First issues of Superman and Batman from the same era sold for $172,000 and $137,000 in the offerings that ended Tuesday. His issue of the first-ever comic from Marvel sold for $95,000.

Wise said the exploding popularity of super heroes in movies and TV made it a good time to sell. He plans to buy a house and send his grandchildren to college with the profits.

Shelton gives Lambert break after tough week

NASHVILLE (AP) — Miranda Lambert’s really going to need a break after an already hectic week that turned a little scary Tuesday, and Blake Shelton is prepared to provide her with one.

Lambert was already neck deep in the busiest week of the year when the private jet ferrying the country music star and her team from New York to Nashville was forced to make an emergency landing in Clarksburg, W.Va.

The plane lost pressure and spent about three hours on the ground before resuming its southward trek, said Wes Vause, Lambert’s publicist. Killing time, Lambert and friends hung out with firefighters while trying on their appropriately shiny hazmat suits – Lambert’s new album is named “Platinum” – and posting pictures to Instagram. They also listened to a lot of country music.

“All in all, it was a pretty good day,” Vause said with a laugh.

Lambert will only get busier now that she’s back in Nashville. She’s in the midst of launching her fifth album and started the week with a series of appearances in New York.
