A particularly prized copy of the first-ever Marvel comic book fetched more than $2.4 million in an online auction
NEW YORK -- , the auctioneer said Friday.
The buyer's name has not been disclosed. He is"an extremely passionate comic book collector and investor" who also collects other items, Zurzolo said. The very well-preserved"pay copy" is especially sought-after because it bears the publisher's handwritten notes recording how much the multiple writers and artists were paid. For example, Frank R. Paul earned $25 for drawing the cover of a book now worth nearly 100,000 times as much.
