I just read online that a comic book was just actioned off for the price of a cool one million dollars. The comic? Was it Spoof #1? Of couse not, silly. It was Action Comics #1, the first appearance of the world's best known superhero, Superman.
I guess the only thing I have to ask is, why has it taken this long before AC #1reached the one million dollar price? There are only about 100 copies known to exist, and even less that many in high grade condition. I thought this comic would have reached a million (or tens of millions) much sooner.
Another thing, I hope this news doesn't drive the wild madness of the 90's, ushering in another speculator market. I believe it was during this time the comics industry was almost killed, and I don't want to see this happen again. Believe me, it wasn't pretty.
