Entertainment Nov 27, 2025

A rare 1939 Superman comic, originally bought for just 10 cents, has sold at auction for an eye-popping $9.12 million—setting a new record.
Three brothers discovered the comic tucked away in their late mother's attic in Northern California while going through old family belongings.

Why this sale is special

This sale beats the previous record of $6 million set by another classic comic last year.
The brothers say the find means more than just money—calling it "a testament to memory and family."
Only seven copies of this issue are graded as high as theirs, making it a true collector's dream.
Heritage Auctions's Lon Allen said he felt honored to handle such an iconic piece of pop culture history.
