A 1938 comic book featuring the first appearance of Superman was sold for a record $6 million to an anonymous collector, announced by the auction house Heritage Auctions.
The comic, titled “Action Comics No. 1,” is described as the most important comic book ever published, featuring a version of Superman that was later used in subsequent comics and movies.
The comic also marks the first appearance of Lois Lane, the journalist whom Superman falls in love with.
The previous record for the sale of a comic book was also held by a Superman issue, which sold for $5.3 million in 2022.
