Spider-Man’s debut comic sells for $1.1 million
A comic collector has been caught in Spider-Man’s web, paying $1.1 million for a near-mint copy of “Amazing Fantasy” No. 15 that features the wall-crawler’s debut.
The issue, first published in 1962, was sold Monday by a private seller to a private buyer, ComicConnect.com chief executive Stephen Fishler told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
I used to own a copy of Spiderman #1, and it was in pretty good shape. It would probably only have been worth a few hundred thousand dollars.
My mom threw it away when we moved from Indiana to Missouri, in a box of other (probably) highly collectible comics.
Moral of the story?
Got me.
