Il Fumetto più Costoso del Mondo...

The Most Expensive Comic in the World...

Comic book collecting has a new king: a copy of Action Comics #1, Superman 's debut issue, sold for $6 million , setting a new record for the most expensive comic book ever purchased. The auction was organized by Heritage Auctions , a prestigious Dallas-based auction house, during its latest event dedicated to comics and related art. The identity of the buyer remains shrouded in mystery.

A piece of history in exceptional condition
Published in 1938 , Action Comics #1 is considered the most important comic book ever, kicking off the superhero era with the first appearance of Superman , created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster . The copy sold was graded CGC Very Fine+ 8.5 , an extraordinary rating for such a rare book. Heritage Auctions noted that it is one of the finest known copies in the world.

Previous records

This sale far surpasses the previous record set in April 2022 , when another copy of Action Comics #1 sold for $5.3 million . Previously, the record was held by Amazing Fantasy #15, which in September 2021 was purchased for $3.6 million thanks to its historic significance as the first comic to feature Spider-Man .

A dream for a few, but now accessible to everyone!

The original Action Comics #1 is so valuable that it is kept in sealed, vacuum-packed cases , away from light and humidity. Only a handful of collectors in the world can afford to own a copy.

But there's great news for fans: Panini has released an official facsimile copy, now available for just a few euros at edicolaonline.store . An unmissable opportunity for those who dream of owning this legendary comic without spending millions!
