Action Comics #1 Sells for $3.2 Million

First published in 1938, the Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster-created comic marked the first appearance of the “Man of Steel,” established his secret identity of Clark Kent and introduced his future love interest Lois Lane. The previous most valuable edition of the issue was sold in 2011 for $2.16 million, which coincidentally was owned by Nicolas Cage, who almost played Superman in Tim Burton’s infamous Superman Lives.
