$1 Million Comics

Two big sales recently in the world of comic books. Yahoo reports that a copy of Superman # 1 sold for $1 million.

"The fact that this book is completely un-restored and still has an 8.0 grade, it's kind of like a diamond or a precious stone. It's very rare," he said.

There are only about 100 copies of Action Comics No. 1 believed to be in existence, and only a handful have been rated so highly. It's rarer still for those copies to be made available for sale.

Also, the BBC reports that a copy of Detective Comics #27, the first appearance of Batman, sold for $1.075m. Apparently the seller bought the comic for $100 during the 1960s.
