Action Comics #1 Ashcan Sells For $204,000 At Auction
Posted on
A copy of the Action Comics #1 Ashcan recently sold for $204,000 at auction. One of only three known copies, the last one sold for $50,000 twelve years ago and the other is in the DC Comics vaults. Intriguingly, the Action Comics ashcan doesn t have any Superman in it, just pages from Detective Comics and it was only a way to secure a trademark on a comic book title for a publisher. But it does have a cover that was never used. The auction listing explains it all. And you can watch the auction, as it took place, below.
