An original first edition of the “Superman” comic from 1939 was auctioned for over $9 million, setting a record for the highest price ever paid for a comic book. Found in an attic by three brothers, this near-pristine copy was rated a CGC score of 9 and is considered a significant milestone in pop culture history. Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, debuted as the first superhero in a dedicated comic, revolutionizing the genre. The comic’s rarity is attributed to its design, which encouraged children to cut out the back cover for framing.
