Rare Superman comic sells for record $3.25m

A rare edition of a comic in which Superman made his first-ever appearance has sold for a record $3.25 million (£2.8m).

It means the issue of Action Comics #1, which sold for 10 cents when it was released in 1938, is the world's most valuable comic book.

The comic includes the story of Superman's origins and is considered to be the start of the superhero genre.

It is thought only around 100 copies of the comic still exist.

This particular copy was "buried in a stack of old 1930s movie magazines" and was in mint condition, online auction house ComicConnect.com said in a statement.

The comic explains how Superman came to earth from another planet and went on to become Clark Kent.

It "really is the beginning of the superhero genre", said ComicConnect.com co-owner, Vincent Zurzolo, who brokered the sale. Hundreds of thousands of copies of the magazine were printed in 1938, he added.

The seller made a $1m profit on the comic after owning it for just three years. The anonymous buyer is "relatively new to comic investing", the statement said.

A different copy of the issue sold for $3.2m on eBay in 2014.

Started reading Infinite Dark today...

746767._SX1280_QL80_TTD_.jpg

"The universe ended, but onboard the void station Orpheus, a skeleton crew of humanity survived: the last two thousand souls, waiting for a second big bang that may never come. Now, two years into their voyage, Security Director Deva Karrell investigates the station’s first murder—and the otherworldly motives behind it."

Feels like a sci-fi horror of sorts... Just finished the first issue, find the concept very intriguing.

Started buying this a few months ago... I can only describe it as the English version of Heavy Metal... not quite as in depth as HM but various artists getting opportunities to showcase their work and it's still in it's infancy so not too bad...

This looks great... Just checking their website, looks like they release it as "anthology series", and then also some standalone issues of a single story. Good stuff. Have you got all of them? Any particularly good stories?

Got them all. but not read any of them yet... I got the first one out of idle curiosity as it was on the shelf at my local newsagents, liked it and thought I would stick with it and at some point I will have a binge read.. :D
