A rare copy of the first Superman comic book sold for $ 317,200 at auction, according to AFP reports.This is a super hero sized increase on the original 10 cents paid back in 1938.
Bids in the online auction, which started two weeks ago on http://www.comicconnect.com/, immediately topped $200,000 and a last-minute surge crossed the $300,000 mark. There were 89 bids and Comic Connect extended the deadline by several minutes to catch the late interest.
The book is a rare and unrestored copy of the first issue of Action Comics, with a cover showing Superman in his familiar red cape, hurling a green car past terrified onlookers.
Neither the seller nor the buyer were identified.
