And, he also loved stories about superheroes, as his collection of Marvel and DC Comics has recently revealed.According to Screen Rant, Sotheby’s, a private auction house, has just announced an auction of Mercury’s personal belongings, which will run in London until Sep. 13, 2023. There are 346 lots overall, and many of them have something to do with Marvel or DC. This auction has allowed the late singer’s fans to take a sneak peek into the musical icon’s life and hobbies, one of which seems to have been collecting superhero comics.Issues of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four, X-Men, and DC’s Booster Gold can be spotted among Mercury’s things in the Sotheby’s auction. The musician’s collection included 22 issues of The Fantastic Four, all ranging from 1965 to 1977, which means that the singer was a Marvel reader almost from the start — the first superhero team, which was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, debuted in 1961. Mercury did not have as many X-Men issues: Sotheby’s only offered three of them, all from 1987. There was only one Booster Gold comic from 1987, the year after the character first appeared.
