An issue of
Action Comics #1 was recently sold by
Heritage Auctions for a record price of
£4.75 million. Above is my very own copy, which just arrived today in a secure van. (That big
Lottery win a few years back sure came in handy is all I can say.) Or am I pulling your collective leg, Crivs? Well, that's definitely
my comic in the above photo (and the two below) so I'll let you make up your own minds. Let's just say I'm a very happy chappie.

Lend us a tenner, Gordie. (From your doppelganger on an alternate Earth.)
What a mad world when billions live in poverty but somebody can pay £4.75 million for a comic.
Ah, but billions will still live in poverty even if somebody pays only £1 for a comic, CJ. The poor are always with us. Right, I'm off to my scratcher, will answer any more comments when I emerge from my slumbers.
I saw one a few years back at a National Trust house and I wondered if it was genuine and they were unaware. So I made a point of getting clued up on what was real and what was fake but the next time I went the comic had gone. I think yours is a good copy, no difference in the cover but the original looks sharper to me. Plus yours doesn't look nearly a hundred years old. And neither do you, Kid! 😁
Maybe I'm right, Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe I reek and maybe I pong,
Nevertheless I refuse to incriminate
Myself one way or the other.
(To be sung to the tune [or as close as you can get to it] of Nevertheless I'm In Love With You.)
Incidentally, I usually enhance all the images on my posts for optimum appeal, but I didn't do so on this occasion. I've now replaced them with enhanced images like all the others on Crivens. What do you think now? As for its seeming lack of age, did you consider that it might be a 'restored' issue of AC #1?
The mystery continues...
