Citation :

A rare copy of the first comic book featuring Superman sold Monday for $1 million, smashing the previous record price for a comic book.

A 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1, widely considered the Holy Grail of comic books, was sold from a private seller to a private buyer, neither of whom released their names. The issue features Superman lifting a car on its cover and originally cost 10 cents.

The transaction was conducted by the auction site ComicConnect.com. Stephen Fishler, co-owner of the site and its sister dealership, Metropolis Collectibles, orchestrated the sale.

Fishler said it transpired minutes after the issue was put on sale at around 10:30 a.m. Eastern time (1530 GMT). He said that the seller was a “well known individual” in New York with a pedigree collection, and that the buyer was a known customer who previously bought an Action Comics No. 1 of lesser grade.

The previous comic book record was set last year when John Dolmayan, drummer for the rock band System of a Down, paid $317,000 for an Action Comics No. 1 issue. Attempts to reach him for comment on Monday’s sale were not immediately successful.

This copy fetched a much higher price because it’s in better condition. It’s rated an “8.0 grade,” or “very fine.”

There are only about 100 copies of Action Comics No. 1 believed to be in existence, and only a handful have been rated so highly. It’s rarer still for those copies to be made available for sale.

These numbers are mind-boggling. When I started collecting the books, back in early 1977, copies of Action #1 were available for something like $3500. Marvel Comics #1, which was then considered the Holy Grail, was fetching something like $5000. And the newer Silver Age books, like Amazing Fantasy #15 (Spider-Man’s debut), Amazing Spider-Man #1, Showcase #4 (the debut of the Justice League) were going for no more than $100. Even with inflation factored in, the appreciation in values has been tremendous.

Connu comme le loup blanc, ce comics !! Mais l'état dans lequel il a été vendu est tellement surprenant qu'on peut aussi se dire que sa valeuer est inestimable....

Superman étant un icône mondiale mais surtout un héros national américain, c'est une pièce de choix pour tout collectionneur...

Histoire de dingue en tout cas !!

1 million de dollars mais en euros, la note passe déjà mieux

Ce comic est l'emblème ultime du mal qui nous frappe tous: la collectionnite...
