Can you believe it???. Action comics is sold for 2.16 million USD. Action Comics is one of the most unpopular comics. But the #1 issue was taken on a auction and it was sold out for 2.16 million USD
Ha ha. There was a good reason of being so expensive. Superman was first introduced in this comics. Tha’ts why it was on fire.
A rare and pristine copy of the first issue of Action Comics, famed for the first appearance of Superman, has set a record Wednesday for the most money paid for a single comic book: $2.16 million.
It’s the first time a comic book has broken the $2 million barrier. The issue was published in 1938 and cost just 10 cents.
“When we broke the record in 2010 by selling the Action Comics No. 1, graded at 8.5, for $1.5 million, I truly believed that this was a record that would stand for many years to come,” said Stephen Fishler, CEO of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Collectibles.
The previous record set in March 2010 was followed by the sale of another copy for $1 million. But neither of those issues was in as good a condition as the issue that sold Wednesday, though it’s pedigree of setting records was already documented. Twice before it set the record for the most expensive book ever, selling for $86,000 in 1992 and $150,000 in 1997.
But in 2000, it was stolen and thought lost until it was recovered in a storage shed in California in April this year.
