Superman has just punched through another record, and fans are buzzing. A recently discovered copy of Superman #1 is now the most valuable comic in history, selling for $6 million US, or approximately $ 9.22 million AUD. Not bad for a comic that spent decades gathering dust in an attic.
The Comic That Started It All
Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938, the Superman #1 comic was more than a release. It introduced the blueprint for every superhero story since, which is why collectors have chased it for decades.
Superman Still Leads Today
More than 80 years later, Superman is still going strong. Thanks to James Gunn’s take on the character, the DC Universe has never looked more exciting. Whether on screen or in print, Superman remains the standard for modern superheroes, which helps explain why this comic commands seven figures.
A Legacy That’s Priceless
The record-breaking sale proves comics are both art and history. Collectors celebrate seven-figure editions while new readers can dive in digitally through DC Universe Infinite. From dusty attics to digital devices, Superman’s legacy shows the Boy in Blue is timeless and more valuable than ever.
