"A comic featuring the first appearance of Deadpool has fetched almost $16,000 (\u00C2\u00A310,300) at a Comiclink auction. The mint condition copy of Marvel Comics&amp;#039; New Mutants #98 has likely set a record for a sale of a &amp;#039;Copper Age&amp;#039; (1984-1994) comic, reports ICv2.  Released in February 1991, the comic was written and drawn by Rob Liefeld with a script by Fabian Nicieza. The first appearance of the wise-cracking, lunatic mercenary was largely at odds with the familiar portrayal of the character, lacking his trademark banter. Deadpool went on to become a series regular in Liefeld&amp;#039;s X-Force. The character has been experiencing a recent renaissance, featuring in a new Deadpool video game that debuted in June, a well-received Marvel NOW! series and rumours of a feature film.
