Superman Comic Brings in $317,200 in Auction

Action Comics No.1 or the first comic book in which Superman appears  reportedly sold for $317,200 in an Internet auction.

Acquiring the rare copy was John Dolmayan, drummer for the rock band System of a Down and a dealer in rare comic books who reported that he had purchased the comic on behalf of an unidentified client.

This was one of the highest prices ever paid for a comic book. The previous owner purchased the comic in the early 50's for 35 cents.
