The rich get richer. From 15 cents to 2.16 million
Nicolas Cage’s rare copy of Action Comics No. 1 went under the hammer yesterday for USD 2.16 million, setting record for a single comic book sold. Approximately 100 copies of Action Comics No. 1 remain in existence, though few are kept in such pristine condition as Cage’s.
Assigned a grade of 9.0 by Certified Guaranty Company, Cage’s Action Comics No. 1 was stolen from his house in 2000 and found in a San Fernando Valley storage locker in April. The American actor, who named his son Kal-El after Superman’s Kryptonian birth name, dubbed the recovery "divine provenance".
The original copy, which came out in the 1938, cost about USD 15 cents.
