It is amazing how much collectors will pay for a 24 page booklet printed on newspaper print. Have you ever read one of these classic tales? Many of them were written in a rush and aren’t all that great. No offense to those of you willing to pay a million dollars for a comic. I love these stupid little things as much, if not more then most, but some of these values are insane.
#5) All American Comics #16
The Green Lantern made his debut in the issue dated July 1940. If you have this little guy setting around somewhere, then you could sell it and buy a 40 acre ranch in Montana.
Approximate Value (In “near mint” condition)
$160,000 USD.
#4) Superman #1
The first comic book devoted to Superman, reprinting the original Action Comics story, was published in the summer of 1939. Just as a refference point, if you sold this comic, you would have just enough money to buy the 2009 Aston Martin DBS. Just in case you are unfamiliar, it’s 007′s car.
Approximate Value (In “near mint” condition):
$270,000 USD.
#3) Marvel Comics #1
The Human Torch and other heroes were first introduced in the issue dated October 1939. Sale this one and buy a Giant Truffle! This is a whole other story and here is the link: Giant Truffle
Approximate Value (In “near mint” condition):
$330,000 USD.
#2) Detective Comics #27
Issued in May 1939, it is prized as the first comic book to feature Batman. With this amount of cash you could buy 75000 copies of Neil Gaiman’s Batman #686
Approximate Value (In “near mint” condition):
$375,000 USD.
#1) Action Comics #1
Published in June of 1938, the first issue of Action Comics marked the original appearance of Superman. You knew this was number one already didn’t you? Lets say you had this comic and sold it for the whopping price it demands, what could you do. I guess you could pretend to be an executive at AIG.
Approximate Value (In “near mint” condition):
$440,000 USD.
