Why are these comics so sought after?

These comics are not only works of art, but also witnesses to a special bond between the author and his reader. This is what makes dedications so special. They are not just a simple autograph: they embody an encounter, a moment frozen in time. And for collectors, this emotional aspect often translates into an increase in market value.
