First Marvel Comic Book Gets $1.26 Million in US Auction

The Heritage Auction states that Hammer, the famous American publisher behind the first comic book produced by Marvel, Spider-Man, X-Men and The Avengers, set a record of $ 1.26 million on Thursday.

Ed Juster, senior vice president of the auction house, said of the book, "This is a historical copy of a historical comic book, published by Timely Comics in 1939, which later became Marvel.

"Without question, this is the grandeur of all Marvel comics, without which today's comics and feature films would not have the characters and stories we like," Jaster said.

Under the direction of screenwriter Stan Lee, Marvel created superheroes in the 1960s, which have become iconic today and whose cinema adaptations have conquered the box office worldwide.

The first copy of "Marvel Comics" was sold in very good condition and was brought back in 1939, above the price of 10 cents.

"Amazing Fantasy 15," in which Spider-Man appears for the first time, slipped into the auction for the second-highest Marvel comic, which sold for $ 1.1 million in 2011.

History's most expensive comic book remains the first issue of "Action Comics" published in 1938, in which Superman made his debut. It sold in 2014 for $ 3.2 million.
