First Superman Comic Sold for $317,200!

A copy of the first Superman comic is a rare item. But one was sold at an Internet auction for $317,200.

The 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1 features Superman lifting a green car on the cover. Only 100 copies of this still exists.

The man who won the auction was John Dolmayan, drummer for rock band System of a Down. He was purchasing it for a client of his.

The previous owner who sold the comic only paid 35 cents for the item.

I saw a copy of this at the NYC Comic Con and drooled.
