Action Comics No. 1's Super $1.5M Sale!

Superman does it again.

A copy of Action Comics No. 1 from 1938 featuring Superman in his debut, has sold for a whopping $1.5 million on ComicConnect.com, smashing previous records for a single comic book sale.

Before this sale, another rare copy of Action Comics No. 1 had sold for $1 million and Detective Comics No. 27, in which Batman makes his debut, sold for $1.075 million.

"This new record will be hard to break," says ComicConnect.com co-owner and COO, Vincent Zurzolo. "Because this particular Action Comics No. 1 is literally the single most valuable comic book on the planet."

That's not an idle boast. This particular copy of Action Comics No. 1 was given a grading of 8.5 versus the 8.0 that the $1 million copy of Action Comics No. 1 rated.
