The first comic book to feature Spiderman Amazing Fantasy No. 15 sold for $1.1 million Monday, March 7, 2011 to an undisclosed buyer, at comic book auction house ComicConnect.com.
The comic book originally sold for 12 cents. It shows Spiderman holding a villain in one arm and swinging from his web with the other.
It’s not the highest price ever paid for a comic book, Action Comics No. 1 with Superman on the cover, which went for $1.5 million.
Stephen Fishler of chief executive of the site had this to say. “The fact that a 1962 comic has sold for $1.1 million is a bit of a record-shattering event,” he said. “That something that recent can sell for that much and be that valuable is awe-inspiring.”
“People have often wondered how much this near-perfect condition book would sell for, and today we found out,” Fishler said.
What a great return on an investment. I bet the orginal owner was happy his mom didn’t thow out his comic books. LOL
Would you pay that type of money for a comic book?
