Last month we saw that 2 comic titles making more than $2M in auctions. Earlier it was Action Comics No. 1, which features the first appearance of Superman, sold online for a record-breaking $1m. The 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1 with cover showing superhero lifting car sets record for comic book sale. The issue has a cover featuring Superman lifting a car and it originally cost 10 cents.

Well, everyone though it was a record, but three days later a 1939 comic book in which Batman makes his debut, Detective Comics No. 27, sold for a total of $1,075,500.

Although Marvel is getting more Hollywood spotlights than DC Comics, but the later is giving more value to its collectors. So, should I switch to buy more of DC instead of Marvel. Ha.. not necessarily. Reading and collecting comics is a hobby, and I am not making money from it, so I am sticking to what I like. Anyway, I think I have a few old No. 1 in my collection. Maybe I should get it rated, who knows, that could be a down payment for my new car.
