My New Years resolution of keeping a “human” working schedule (sleeping at night and awake in the day time vs the “vampire” schedule) didn’t last long. I’ve been working my butt off finishing issues of Superman and Supergirl comic books for DC Comics. Barely sleeping and my hand cramping, I’m surprised I even have time for this blog.

One night last week, as I was inking, I caught this story on the news about a record breaking sale of DC Comic’s Action Comics #1. I stopped inking for a bit since I actually worked on the Action Comics series.

This is how issue #1 of Action Comics looks like as it was published in 1938:

and check it, sold for 0.10 cents back then.

Couple of pages from the comic book.

Here’s Page 1, and the last page of the Superman story, Page 13.

The comic book is actually 64 pages, but the Superman story is only 13 pages long. Check out the rest of the issue HERE.

So anyway, most of you know that these issue is very collectable. This is the very first appearance of that dude with the S on his chest we all know as jonsibal j/k, I mean SUPERMAN. I read that there is only 100 of these left in the world. According to the report, an anonymous seller sold it to an anonymous buyer for, guess what.

Here’s a hint:

Yup, $1,000,000.00!!!!

One million bucks for a comic book in this economy?! Really, that is carazzeyy.

The sale went down in New York breaking all the past record sale of this book which said to be an 8.0 in condition meaning very fine.

But then 3 days later, another DC Comic’s comic book broke that record. The comic book is Detective Comics #27.

Here’s how it looks like.

It is the first appearance of cape crusader - BATMAN which makes this another highly desirable issue.
It sold for $1.075 million dollars!!!

Oh the humanity.

I have a few comic book collections like Wolverine #1, few X-Men issues and a handful of the Death of Superman (remember those?). I doubt any of them will sell for 7 figures but I’m hopeful haha.

Ok back to inking. Please buy Secret Origins of Superman #4 and Supergirl #50 and help support the needy , me . LOL
