Paragraph 1
A
copy of the very first self-titled Superman comic has been sold at
for $9.12 million. This is a world
for a comic book. The rare
was sold by Texas-based Heritage Auctions. Its vice-president, Lon Allen, called the record-breaking
the "pinnacle of comic collecting". He said: "Superman No. 1 is a
in pop culture history, and this copy is not only in unprecedented
, it also has a movie-worthy story behind it. I was glad to see the
reflect that, and I'm honoured that Heritage was entrusted with this
book." Superman No. 1 first appeared on bookshelves in June 1939. It paved the way for a whole
of superhero comics.
