A copy of Superman #1, dating back to June 1939, was discovered by three brothers in their late mother’s attic, leading to its sale for a record $9.12 million (£6.97 million) at Heritage Auctions, making it the most expensive comic ever sold. The comic, preserved in mint condition, was hidden for decades in a cardboard box in Northern California. Its exceptional condition earned it a grade of 9.0, surpassing previous records. This find exemplifies the enduring value of vintage comics, particularly those featuring iconic characters like Superman.
