Just weeks after a Batman comic bopped down a record comic price of $1.075 million, a copy of Superman's Action Comics No 1 from June 1938, which originally sold for 10 cents, reached $1.5 million at U.S. auction house Comic Connect.
About 100 copies of this first edition are said to still be in existence.
The auctioneer noted, a "hardcore comic book fan" was the buyer, of course.
