Action Comics #1 just sold for $1,000,000.

Totally worth it.

 

[sixpackshaker]

But he can't read it...

 

[Espy]

And it STILL won't get the guy who bought it laid .

 

[sixpackshaker]

If you can buy 30 pages of four color newsprint for one MILLION dollars, you don't have to worry about getting laid. You have to worry about narrowing it down to one.

Not when you live in your mom's basement and have been saving every penny for 41 years just so you could buy this and put it next to your bunk bed.

 

[Covar]

Ugh, I hate the graded comics.

 

[Calleja]

I'd bet Seinfeld bought it, he's a super superman fan AND he's certainly got the dough. Maybe Nic Cage, too.

 

[sixpackshaker]

I hope it is not Nic Cage, he is already broke.

But he can't read it...

Sure he can, just hop on to Google, type in "Action Comics #1" and scans of the issue pop right up!

That is reading a scanned copy. I can not read the copy he bought.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I own it, technically, with the Superman Chronicles trade. That's good enough for me. Never cared about keeping issues for value. Just gimme a good story and I'm happy.

 

[TwoBit]

Supes sure has changed since that first issue. Dude couldn't even fly.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

The Fleischer cartoons got him flying. They said it was visually more interesting and exciting, so asked if they could. They were given permission and then the change made its way to the comics soon after.

 

[Steve]

That is fantastic news. Wonder how much my John Byrne Superman #1 will go for?

 

[Calleja]

Also notice no Ma and Pa Kent but an orphanage instead, and the fact that nothing LESS than an exploding shell could penetrate his skin, meaning an exploding shell COULD

 

[TwoBit]

I think I might prefer the less invincible original supes a little more than the current one. There's no breathing in space and being powered by yellow sunlight.

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

Agreed. But Supes like that would be little more powerful than John McClane.

I'm pretty sure Nic Cage already had an issue.
