Action Comics #1 sells for $121,000

A copy of Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman, was bought at auction for $121,000 on Friday, after 33 bids. The CGC 2.5 book was sold through ComicConnect.com and its parent site, Metropolis Collectibles.

Back in March, ComicConnect sold a 6.0 graded copy for $317,200, pictured to the right.

At $121,000, it doesn't even crack the top ten for most valuable comics. For a good estimate of what the most valuable books in the world are, read this article. Even better, read the comments-- it's got character names straight out of Damon Runyon.

And sadly, my dad is not getting this for Fathers Day. But it's the thought that counts, right?
