Superman Number 1 again.
Record comicbook sale puts Superman back on top.
Superman is back on top again, at least as far as record breaking comic book sales go. This from the L.A. Times.......
A copy of the 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1, featuring the first appearance of Superman, sold Monday for $1.5 million on the auction website ComicConnect.com. The issue, originally sold for 10 cents, is widely considered the Holy Grail of comic books.
The same issue sold in February for $1 million, though that copy wasn't in as good condition as the issue that sold Monday. That number was bested just days later when a 1939 comic book featuring Batman's debut sold for $75,000 more at an auction in Dallas.
The buyer is described as an unknown comic book fanatic. I would say so if he's going to spend that kind of coin on a comic book.
So I guesse the debate is over, Superman beats Batman.........well, at least when it comes to sales of their first ever adventures.
