On Thursday, spurred from the record breaking sale of “Action Comics No. 1” for $1 Million Dollars (breaking the previous record of only $317,000), the owner of a mint copy of Batman’s first comic decided to take it to auction. “Detective Comics No. 27,” featuring the first appearance of Batman, broke the new record that was only set three days earlier – selling for a whopping $1,075,000 dollars!
Here is a video showcasing the comic book that sold, from Heritage Auctions:
