First Superman comic sells for $1m

Posted by keithpatrick on Feb 23, 2010 in News

A copy of the first comic to feature caped hero Superman has been sold on the internet for $1m, proving once again that anything can be done on the net.

The 1938 edition of Action Comics No 1 – which originally sold for 10c – was sold by a private seller to a private buyer, neither of whom was named.

Stephen Fishler, co-owner of the US auction website Comic Connect, said it was “the Holy Grail of comic books”.

The sale smashes the previous record price for a comic book of $317,200 in 2009. That was also a copy of Action Comics No 1, but in poorer condition.

Mr Fishler said the transaction happened minutes after the issue was put on sale at around 10:30am on Monday. He said that the seller was a “well-known individual” in New York with a pedigree collection, and that the buyer was a known customer who had previously bought an Action Comics No 1.

‘A milestone’

“The opportunity to buy an un-restored, high-grade Action One comes along once every two decades. It’s certainly a milestone,” said Mr Fishler. He added: “It is still a little stunning to see a comic book and $1m in the same sentence.”

About 100 copies of Action Comics No 1 remain in existence and only two of those have a grading of 8.0 – very fine – including the one sold on Monday. The previous record-holder had a grading of 6.0.

If you don’t have 1 mil to pony up for a copy of Action Comics No 1, try a Superman T-shirt, with most at 18 bucks these things are a steal vs getting a comic you can’t even wear or for that matter open or touch or expose to light or…..

Get an exclusive look at the Geoff Johns-penned episode of SMALLVILLE

Posted by keithpatrick on Jan 21, 2010 in News

Want to see some more hints about television’s Justice Society? DC Comics’ blog has an exclusive clip from Smallville’s “Absolute Justice” episode, as well as writer Geoff Johns promising “more cameos and easter eggs than Green Lanterns.”

It’s not a stretch to say comics are everywhere on the pop culture landscape — movies, television, books and beyond. These colorful heroes are a part of our daily lives, and we’re proud to unveil something very cool — and by “cool,” I mean something special, that we’ve never done before on THE SOURCE.

As most of you know, BLACKEST NIGHT writer Geoff Johns has done his fair share of Hollywood work, including but not limited to working with SUPERMAN director Richard Donner. He’s also written episodes of SMALLVILLE. The most recent, titled “Absolute Justice” features the television debut of some of his — and your — favorite DCU heroes, including Hawkman, Stargirl and Dr. Fate.

In other words, the Justice Society of America. The first superhero team in history and one that holds a special place not only for Geoff, but for fans everywhere.

So, needless to say, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention it here. We’d be doubly at fault if we didn’t corral Geoff himself to share a few words, too. Take it away, Geoff:

“It’s the first live action Justice Society of America. Hawkman, Doctor Fate and, my personal favorite, Stargirl. But don’t expect them to be the one ones you see. Look closely in this episode. There’s more cameos and easter eggs than Green Lanterns.”

Oh, and did I mention we have an exclusive clip from the episode, courtesy of the fine folks at The CW? Click below to view. Enjoy!

Also Newsarama just put up a “1st Look: JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS” Clip, you can see that one here.

A Battle between the Justice League and the Crime Syndicate will always be packed with action. This clip, from the DCU Animated Original movie coming February 23, 2010, jumps straight into an all-out brawl between the mirrored teams.
