A pristine copy of Action Comics #1, which introduced Superman to the world, just sold at auction for six million dollars.
There are a lot of things you could do with a time machine, but one of the most efficiently lucrative uses would be visiting a comic-book seller in 1938, and snagging multiple copies of a certain title that would prove to be highly collectible in future decades: Action Comics #1. Today, the groundbreaking Superman title pulled in $6 million at Heritage Auctions —setting a new all-time record.
” The book ushered in the Golden Age of Comics while also crystallizing the concept of the superhero—and created a character who still has a major presence in pop culture . As you might imagine, near-perfect copies of the 86-year-old comic—which was physically not meant to last, no matter how timeless its story and art would become—are hard to come by, and Heritage Auctions notes that this particular copy is the most “breathtakingly beautiful” it has ever sold. Here’s a look at the full cover.
