Delta City Dreams Turn into a Nightmare in Robocop #1, Up for Auction

Robocop is the rare character that arguably is more famous for appearances outside of just his movies. Think about all of the different ways we spent time with that character in the late 80s animated series, a very successful figure line, appearances in wrestling, and of course, comics. Marvel Comics, in 1990, adapted the first film as a comic and sold a boatload of them. Later on, he would get more comics telling original stories. But this Marvel book is still one that fans often look for. Today a unique opportunity presents itself at Heritage Auctions, as you can bid on a bundle of three CGC copies of said book. Two of them are 9.6, and one is a 9.8. The best part? The lot is sitting at $10 right now. Check them out below.
