Well the news broke recently about another record breaking comic book, this time from Heritage Auctions, who sold the comic for the $1,075,500 (which includes the buyers premium). Seems we have a bit of the dueling million dollar comics! Lon Allen, Director of the Comics Department said, “…we suspected it could go as high as $800,000. The fact that it then topped seven figures, and nosed out Superman for the world record price was simply amazing to us all. I’ve never been in an auction room with such excitement.” Would’ve been great to be in that room.

It must feel good for DC Comics who has these two fine heroes in their main lineup. Things have been turning rosy for DC lately. The formation of DC Entertainment, spectacular relaunch of the Batman movies, lots of buzz about their current titles, and breaking new ground in comics with their weekly series and newspaper format Wednesday Comics. I bet their loving this.
