A Comic Life
Can you put a price tag on a hero? Aparently, yes, and if he’s in really good condition, he’s worth a solid mil.
A copy of the first comic book featuring Superman sold for $1 million on Monday, a new record for a comic book. The 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1 was sold by a private seller to a private buyer, neither of whom disclosed their names. Previous copies of the book had sold for between $300,000 and $450,000, but this particular copy was in great condition—an 8 out of 10. According to its cover, it originally cost 10 cents.
I don’t know…if the pricetag says 10 cents, then you should only have to pay 10 cents. That’s just logic.
