The comic debut of Superman has sold for an insane price.
Action Comics No. 1 from 1938, which features the first appearance of the Superman was bought by an anonymous buyer for a record $1.5 million Monday on the online auction site ComicConnect.com.
"This is the Holy Grail of Holy Grails," said Vincent Zurzolo, co-owner of the Web site.
A copy of the same issue sold for $1 million in February, but this one fetched a higher price because it is in better condition. Zurzolo says it was stored in a movie magazine for the past 15 years.
"The book looks like it just came off the presses yesterday," said Zurzolo. "The colors are extremely vivid, the whites behind the 'Action Comics' logo are snow white. It's just a stunning copy -- it almost looks brand new."
