Superman #53, July/August 1948:
This highly collectible tenth anniversary issue in the Superman series is from the height of the Golden Age of Comics (1938-1954). Superman was introduced in Action Comics #1 in June 1938; this issue is thought to be the most valuable comic book in the world. On December 1, 2011, a copy sold for $2.16 million -- the highest price ever paid for a comic book. By 1939, Superman had his own series, which ran for 423 issues until 1986, when it became The Adventures of Superman. |
