- A very rare copy of the comic book Superman #1 sold at auction last Thursday for $2.6 million.
- It would have cost only a dime to purchase the comic book when it first premiered in 1939.
- The seller, Mark Michaelson, who paid his way through college by flipping comic books, bought Superman #1 from its original owner in 1979.
- No one is sure who the buyer is, though; he wants to keep his identity a secret.
