Batman’s debut comic book from 1939 has sold for 1.075 million dollars, Breaking the recent record for most expensive comic book made also this week by Superman.
Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, Texas, said the copy of Detective Comics Number 27, which pictures Batman swooping on a villain, sold Thursday for 1,075,500 dollars.
That beat the record price paid for a comic set just Monday when the first issue of Action Comics to feature Superman sold for one million dollars in New York.
“The first appearance of Batman, this comic has been considered among the top books in the hobby ever since comic collecting began,” Heritage Auction said.
The comic originally sold for 10 cents for over a 10 Million Percent gain in profit. Averaging 151,000% gain per year. Don’t you wish you bought that comic 71 years ago?
