DALLAS, TX.- With final overall 2010 tallies in, adding up to more than $677 million gross, Heritage Auctions is pointing to a record year across several categories of its business including world record totals for any auction house in the Comics & Original Comic Art and Illustration Art categories. “We saw brisk growth in those categories in particular,” said Greg Rohan, President of Heritage Auctions. “When we combine the weekly comic and comic art auctions with our Signature auctions, the total for the comics category reaches $23,077,321, while Illustration Art, anchored by the Charles Martignette Estate, totaled $14,454,281. We’ve done our research and can’t find another auction firm that has ever equaled those totals in these categories.” Comics saw several high-profile auctions over the course of the year, with none bigger than the February sale of a CGC graded 8.0 copy of Detective Comics #27,
