World’s Most Expensive Comic Book Sold On EBay

Action_Comics_1

A copy of Action Comics #1 was sold at an eBay auction for $3.2 million, making it the most expensive comic in the world. The comic was sold by prominent collectibles dealer Darren Adams, owner of Pristine Comics in Federal Way, Wash. Widely regarded as the Holy Grail of comic books, there are believed to be as few as 50 unrestored original copies of Action Comics #1 still in existence. The comic hit newsstands in 1938 for 10 cents and marked Superman’s historic debut, giving birth to the multi-billion dollar global franchise that thrives today.

A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
