Rare comic that launched Superman to be auctioned

Share this article

A very rare version of Action Comics issue #1, known famously as the issue that launched Superman, is up for auction and is expected to fetch a bidding price of $400,000.

The particular issue up for auction is an “unrestored” version of the comic and is worth considerably more than the remaining Action Comics #1 that are known to exist.

There are only about 100 known copies left of the original
1938 comic which sold for only 10-cents when it first came out, but about 80% of those are said to have been restored.
