Earlier this week Comicbook.com reported on the Top 10 Most Valuable Comic Books, and now there is a new record. Just moments ago, a copy of Action Comics #1 with a CGC grade of 9.0 sold on Comicconnect.com for $2,161,000. Published in 1938, Action Comics #1 features the first appearance of Superman, who was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.The previous record was a copy of Action Comics #1 with a CGC grade of 8.5 which sold in March 2010 for $1.5 million. Many thought the $1.5 million record would stand for a long time, but that was before this higher grade copy emerged.The higher grade copy once belonged to actor Nicolas Cage, and was believed gone forever until it was found in a storage auction.
