Comic Strips (Bande Dessinée) and Illustrations

Christie’s held its first auction of Comic Strips (Bande Dessinée) and Illustrations in Paris in 2014. Totalling nearly €4 million, the auction saw 12 artist records set, including for Hergé with Tintin au Tibet, which sold for €289,500.

Since then, we’ve consistently set top prices for iconic artists. Notable highlights include a William Vance illustration from XIII that fetched €104,500 in 2017 — quadrupling its presale estimate — and an Hergé original cover for Le Petit Vingtième, which achieved €607,500 in 2018.

Our dedicated specialist team, working with experts Alain Huberty and Marc Breyne, continue to offer exceptional and collectible works in auctions. Whether you’re looking to consign a work or learn more about bidding, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
