JAKARTA - The first edition of the comic "Superman" was published from 1939, which was described as the "peak of the comic collection," sold at a fantastic price of 9 million US dollars (equivalent to Rp150 billion) breaking the previous record of up to 3 million US.
This price makes it the most expensive comic ever auctioned. This historic comic has an interesting discovery story as it is found stored in a box in an attic, having been hidden and forgotten for decades.
Komik berjudul "Superman #1" ini, yang menampilkan cover berjanji menceritakan kisah lengkap keleksi berani dari satu-satunya Superman, dimbarkan oleh rumah lelang Heritage Auctions sebagai "peak koleksi komik." Dengan kondisi hampir, penilai dari CGC, perusahaan verifikasi komik, memberikan skor 9, hanya satu poin di bawah kepurnasan.

Reporting from NBCNews, Saturday, November 22, the story behind the discovery of this treasure is called worthy of being a film. This sacred comic was discovered by three brothers in Northern California while cleaning up the house of their deceased mother. Their mother always tells that she has copies of the original comic from the 1930s, but the story is always considered a family legend. This discovery validates the mother's story and brings great surprises to all three.
"Superman No. 1" is a milestone in pop culture, and this copy is not only in unprecedented conditions, but also has a story behind it that deserves a film. I am delighted to see the price reflecting that," said Heritage Auctions Vice President Lon Allen.
The privilege of this comic does not only lie in its condition. This comic is very thick with the history of pop culture because it is the first time a superhero has appeared in a comic that is entirely dedicated to him, following the success of Clark Kent/Superman in 1938's "Action Comics #1" magazine. The scarcity of this comic is also intentional; DC Comics designed its back cover to be cut and framed as a poster, making many copies that can last to date.
