Dearest Batman
The best-preserved first issue of a 1940 Batman comic sold for $2.2 million.
Comics can be not only entertaining reading, but also a great investment. Last Thursday in Dallas, the first issue of Batman from 1940 was sold at an auction for an estimated good 1.82 million euros, which is a record amount. There are apparently quite a few first issues in the world, but no copy is in as good a condition as this one, as it was graded 9.4 by the Certified Guaranty Company, which deals in assessing the condition of comic books, baseball cards and similar collectibles.
But if you think it's the most expensive comic of all time, you're wrong. The most expensive so far was Action Comics No. 1 from 1938, in which Superman first appeared. A comic book with a conservation score of 9.0 was sold on eBay in 2014 for $3.2 million or 2.65 million euros.
