A
rare and pristine copy of the first issue of Action Comics, famed for
the first appearance of Superman, set a record Wednesday for the most
money paid for a single comic book: $2.16 million. The issue, graded at
9.0, was auctioned online at www.comicconnect.com.
The seller was Nicolas Cage, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Cage
turned a super-sized profit – he bought the 1938 Man of Steel original
14 years ago for roughly $150,000. The buyer has remained anonymous. The
issue was published in 1938 and cost just 10 cents.
