Action Comics #1 sells for millions.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Man of Steel has made history again as Superman’s first appearance in a comic book has just shattered an unbelievable record. A recent auction by Heritage Auction has resulted in a copy of Action Comics #1 selling for a record-breaking six million dollars, a grand achievement for one of the greatest heroes of all time.
Heritage Auctions put up an 8.5 CGC-rated copy of Action Comics #1, the very first time Superman appeared in a comic book. The book's pages were described as off-white to white and the copy had very little fading, wrinkling, or tears. Within a matter of hours of alerting fans on the social media site X, the auction came to an astounding end. The book was sold for six million dollars, breaking the record held by previous Superman comics. With this new auction, this copy of Action Comics #1 has become the most valuable comic book in the entire world. Action Comics #1 not only introduced Superman, but it also helped shape superhero storytelling for years to come and inspired comic book creators for years to come.
Unsurprisingly, this isn't the first time Superman has claimed the top spot as far as the world's most valuable comics go. The previous record for the most valuable comic was held by an 8.0 CGC-rated version of Superman #1. Lower-rated versions of Action Comics #1 have also been sold for as high as 3.56 million dollars, nearly as much as a near-mint edition of Amazing Fantasy #15 .
Superman is Officially the Gold Standard of Superheroes Of course, superheroes are more than the money they bring in with their first appearance. But not every hero's first appearance is capable of bringing in a hefty sum like Superman. Superman helped define what heroes are for an entire generation and he's one of, if not the most identifiable hero that's ever been created.
