Gettin Outta Hand: Detective #27 Sells for Over One Million Bucks

det#27Now a copy of Batman’s 1st appearance has sold for over $1,000,000.  One million, seventy-five thousand, five hundred dollars to be exact, through Heritage Auctions.

Same M.O.  as last week’s Action #1 sale (only this buyer has spent more- sounds like a classic case of super-hero envy, if ya pick up what I’m laying down): Anonymous seller, anonymous buyer, high CGC grading, well over DOUBLE what anyone had ever paid for a single comic up until two weeks ago.

In other news your copies of Turok #1 ain’t worth nothin.  But they do make good birdcage liners!
