The 3.2 Million Dollar Comic Book

Comic books have always been seen as the epitome of a child item; with the plethora of pictures, minimal words, and bright colors. Growing up, it was a way for my grandmother to shut me up so I don’t ask for candy. Many of my books went the same way as the candy wrappers; in the garbage. Yet, after this weekend, I doubt anyone would make that mistake again.

Over 70 years ago, two kids wrote a comic book about a guy with super strength, heat vision, and a terrible secret identity (really? Glasses?). It was a big hit, and not the last for the man who would become Superman. The inaugural issue (Action Comics #1) which cost a paltry ten cents , was just sold for 3.2 million dollars to Stephen Fishler and Vincent Zurzolo, the co-owners of www.ComicConnect.com. The book which was published in 1938, has been the holy grail of comic book collectors. It’s grade of 9.0 (on a scale of 10), was also the highest that has been ever found. Most comic books (like any paper based item) fray and yellow over time. This particular copy was inadvertently kept in a cedar chest in West Virginia. There are an estimated 100 copies left, in various conditions, of Action Comics #1.
As a comic enthusiast, seeing the gem up front was awing. It also made me regret smudging my chocolate laden fingers all over those collectibles as a child.

  37. Los Blancos, with captain Sergio Ramos suspended after deliberately collecting a yellow card in the first leg, had been looking to build on a slender 2-1 lead from that game in Amsterdam and stay on course for a potential fourth straight European triumph.

    However, after Raphael Varane’s header rattled the crossbar, Ajax raced into an early lead through Hakim Ziyech before Dusan Tadic set up David Neres for a second in the 18th minute.

    Real Madrid were forced into two changes when Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Junior went off injured, with substitute Gareth Bale hitting the post just before half-time.

    Ajax looked to have put the tie to bed when Tadic swept in a brilliant third goal just after the hour – which was eventually given following an extensive Video Assistant Referee review to check if the ball had gone out of play in the build-up.

  43. Trump was surrounded at Friday’s event by officials from Customs and Border Protection as well as surviving family members of those who have loved ones killed by undocumented immigrants. Attorney General William Barr was also at the President’s veto event.
    While some lawmakers — including some Republicans — have argued against the President’s use of national emergency powers in this instance, the Justice Department set forth a robust defense of the President’s authority to do so in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell earlier this month, according to a copy obtained by CNN on Friday.
    “The President acted well within his discretion in declaring a national emergency concerning the southern border,” wrote Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, setting out the legal basis for the proclamation under the National Emergencies Act and additional statutory authorities, which largely tracks an internal memo issued by the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department.

  46. Christina was born in the royal castle Tre Kronor on 18 December S. 8 December] 1626. Her parents were the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus and his German wife, Maria Eleonora, had already had two daughters—a stillborn princess in 1620, and then the first Princess Christina, who was born in 1623 and died the following year.3] Excited expectation surrounded Maria Eleonora’s third pregnancy in 1626. When the baby was born, it was first thought to be a boy as it was “hairy” and screamed “with a strong, hoarse voice.”she later wrote in her autobiography that, “Deep embarrassment spread among the women when they discovered their mistake.” The king, though, was very happy, stating, “She’ll be clever, she has made fools of us all!”6] From most accounts, Gustav Adolf appears to have been closely attached to his daughter, and she appears to have admired him greatly.
