| Heritage Auctions of Dallas sold the comic book to an unnamed bidder on behalf of an anonymous collector. Seven bidders from three countries participated in the combination live and online auction, taking about eight minutes to decide on a final price — an "eternity" in auction time, said Heritage Auctions president Greg Rohan. On Monday, ComicConnect claimed to sell a rare copy of Action Comics #1 to an anonymous collector for $1 million. Action Comics #1, which debuted in 1938, marked the first appearance of Superman. A lesser-quality copy set the previous comic book record, racking up $317,000 at auction last year. Vincent Zurzolo, who co-owns ComicConnect.com with founder Stephen Fishler, said while his Superman sale only held the record for three days, he was very happy to see two comic books selling for more than $1 million. "Records are meant to be broken," and this week will forever go down in comic book history, he said. Both Detective Comics #27 and Action Comics #1 were originally published by National Allied Publications, a company that later became Detective Comics and then DC Comics. DC Comics and CNNMoney.com are Time Warner subsidiaries. With several comic book films set to release in 2011, Zurzolo said he expects prices to escalate on rare copies featuring popular characters. Green Lantern, The First Avenger: Captain America and Spider-Man 4 are tentatively scheduled to open in theaters next year. Rohan said he's seen prices for incredibly rare items, like original comic books, shoot up between 15% and 25% during the recession, while auction prices for more common collectibles have decreased. Last month, Heritage Auctions sold a 1913 nickel, one of only 5 in the world, for $3.7 million. | ||||

By David Bar Katz Superman – the man of steel – is invulnerable. Jerry Siegel – the creator of Superman – was far more vulnerable. Siegel was one of a number of Jews who created the cartoon superheroes of the 1930s and 40s in response to the rise of Nazi Germany. Siegel's own tumultuous story intertwines with the tragic events of a world on the edge, a place where even Superman has his limits. A remarkable new play about fantasy and the reality of the 20th century. |

Superman 3.0 is actual movement towards a Superman Reboot! A Warner Bros insider states “It would definitely not be a follow up to Superman Returns." Making it like it never happened. Sorta like the Ang Lee Hulk of 2003.
Here's the latest press release from the Warner Bros on the subject: |

"EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros is trying to ready its DC Comics stalwart Superman to soar again on the Big Screen, and the studio has turned to Chris Nolan to mentor development of the movie. Our insiders say that the brains behind rebooted Batman has been asked to play a "godfather" role and ensure The Man Of Steel gets off the ground after a 3 1/2-year hiatus. Nolan's leadership of the project can set it in the right direction with the critics and the fans, not to mention at the box office. Besides, Nolan is considered something of a god at and has a strong relationship with Warner Bros after the success of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Though he wasn’t obligated to do so, he gave the studio first crack at his spec script Inception, and Warner Bros was able to buy it before other studios even got a sniff. While Nolan completes that Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer for a July 16th release, he's also hatched an idea for Warner Bros' third Batman installment. Now his brother and frequent collaborator Jonah Nolan, and David Goyer who co-wrote Batman Begins and penned the story for The Dark Knight, are off scripting it." |
