 It’s
a Bird…
It’s a Plane…
It’s the Holy Grail
of comic books...
It’s the First
Million Dollar Comic Book!
First Superman Comic Shatters All Records with Unprecedented $1,000,000
Sale!
Back
in 1938, this very comic book sold for ten cents, its sole purpose
to entertain a child. 72 years later, some very fortunate adult is
willing to spend $1,000,000 for the privilege of owning it something
most experts believed would never happen.
That comic book, of course, is Action Comics #1, which marked the debut
of Superman in 1938 and promptly changed the course of pop culture
forever. This particular copy has been in a private collection for more
than 15 years, and it’s likely to disappear again once it’s been turned
over to its new owner. It’s the Holy Grail of comic books, before
Action Comics #1, there was no such thing as a superhero or a man who
could fly.
 It’s
the single most important event in comic book history. Only about
100 copies Action Comics #1 remain in existence, and of those 100, only
two have received a grading of 8.0 (Very Fine) or higher. This
particular book is one of them, making it among the rarest of the
rare.
Up until now, the record-holder was another Action Comics #1, this one
with a grading of 6.0. It sold on ComicConnect.com for $317,200 in
2009. According to the Overstreet Price Guide to Comic Books ''the
industry bible'' Action Comics #1 is indisputably the highest-valued
comic book of all time. In second place is Detective Comics #27, which
marked the first appearance of Batman in 1939.
An Action Comics #1
graded 8.0 or higher is priced about 25% higher than a comparable
Detective Comics #27.
Until last week, some collectors weren’t aware of the existence of this
million dollar copy.
