Just a few days ago, the first appearance of Superman, Action Comics No. 1, sold for an extraordinary 1 million dollars. Now, the Caped Crusader has broken that record. According to the Associated Press, Detective Comics No. 27, Batman’s first appearance in 1939, was auctioned off for $1,075,500. All parties remain anonymous. The transaction was overseen by Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas. Both comics were graded an 8.0 out of 10, which is stunning for books of that age, with numbers in circulation dwindling. This shows that it doesn’t take superpowers to win the comic arms race; only a fanboy with a bank account that could give Bruce Wayne himself a run for his money.
