“超人”漫画拍卖价创纪录

以超人为封面的第一册漫画以2千1百万美金成交，创下漫画书拍卖的世界新纪录。这本初版“动作漫画"是1938年出版的，这次通过美国的一个拍卖网站进行拍卖。

 

When it appeared on newsstands 73 years ago, the first edition of Action Comics cost just ten cents. The cover design showed a well-built man in blue tights and a red cape¹, smashing a car against a rock.

 

Superman was introduced to readers as a "champion of the oppressed," who could "run faster than an express train."

 

Only a hundred copies of that first issue survive. And for comic buffs this one was in breathtakingly good condition.

 

In an online auction² it fetched a little over $2 million, a world record for a comic. The buyer remains³ anonymous⁴. The seller is rumoured⁵ to have been the actor Nicolas Cage.

 

Connoisseurs⁶ of the comic world say this type of investment has become popular during troubled economic times because rare collectibles hold their value more reliably than property or shares.
