A single page from a 1984 Spider-Man comic book has sold for $3.36 million (£2..45m) at an auction in Texas, according to Sky News.

The page was the original artwork by Mike Zeck and shows Spider-Man with a black costume for the first time.

It is part of an increasing trend for auctions of popular culture memorabilia since the start of the pandemic, with record prices for comics and Pokemon cards.

The latest film version, Spider-Man: No Way Home, has taken more than $1.5 billion (£1.01bn) globally at the box office in the four weeks since its release and now ranks as the eighth-biggest movie in the history of cinema worldwide.
