Action Comics No. 1 Featuring Superman Sells for Record $15 Million

Record-Breaking Comic Book Sale

• 💰 A rare copy of Action Comics No. 1, featuring the first appearance of Superman, has sold for a record $15 million.
• 💡 This comic, originally sold for 10 cents in 1938, is considered the "holy grail" of comic books and foundational to the superhero genre.

The Unique History of This Copy

• 🎭 This specific copy has a notable history, including being purchased by actor Nicolas Cage in the '90s for $150,000.
• 🕵️‍♂️ It was later stolen from Cage's home and subsequently recovered a decade later from an old storage container.
• 📈 Nicolas Cage auctioned the comic for over $2 million, and its value has continued to balloon, with the seller attributing part of its current value to the "Nick Cage saga."

Market Impact and Previous Records

• 🚀 The $15 million sale shatters the previous comic book record.
• 💸 The prior record was set in November when a copy of "Superman No. 1" sold for $9.12 million at auction.
