A 1938 copy of the first comic featuring Superman has sold for a record-smashing one million dollars in New York. "It's the Holy Grail of comic books," ComicConnect.com auctioneers' founder Stephen Fishler said. The record price was reached Monday, easily breaking a 317,200 dollar record set last year when ComicConnect.com sold another, less well preserved copy of the same first issue of Action Comics. The mark-up on the original news stand price of 10 cents is one that even a superhero might have trouble arranging. But the unnamed seller didn't do too badly either: he'd bought the comic for 150,000 dollars at auction 15 years ago. The comic's cover marked Superman's debut. Wearing his red cape, he is pictured hurling a green car past terrified onlookers. "Before Action Comics number one there was no such thing as a superhero or a man who could fly," Fishler said. About 100 copies of the first Action Comics issue remain but only one other is considered to be in as good condition as the one sold Monday. (Read by Renee Haines.

1938年出版的一本“超人”漫畫(huà)創(chuàng)刊號(hào)近日在紐約創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄地拍出100萬(wàn)美元的天價(jià)。 ComicConnect.com拍賣(mài)網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)始人斯蒂芬·菲舍爾說(shuō)：“這本書(shū)是漫畫(huà)書(shū)中的極品。” 這本《動(dòng)作漫畫(huà)》雜志于本周一拍出，拍價(jià)輕松超過(guò)去年該網(wǎng)站以31.72萬(wàn)美元拍出的另一本保存完好度稍次的首期雜志，創(chuàng)下新紀(jì)錄。 這本雜志最初在報(bào)亭僅售10美分，即便是超人也很難把價(jià)格飆到如此地步。 不過(guò)拍賣(mài)這本雜志的未透露身份的賣(mài)家也“神”賺了一筆，他在15年前以15萬(wàn)美元的價(jià)錢(qián)拍得這本漫畫(huà)雜志。 這是超人首次出現(xiàn)在漫畫(huà)書(shū)中。雜志封面上的超人身披紅色斗篷，正猛摔一輛綠色汽車(chē)，把圍觀(guān)人群嚇得魂飛魄散。 菲舍爾說(shuō)：“在《動(dòng)作漫畫(huà)》創(chuàng)刊之前，根本沒(méi)有什么超人或者會(huì)飛的卡通人物形象。” 目前，《動(dòng)作漫畫(huà)》的創(chuàng)刊號(hào)在全世界僅剩約100本，但像本周一拍出的這本保存得如此完好的據(jù)稱(chēng)只剩下一本。 相關(guān)閱讀 肯尼迪情書(shū)網(wǎng)上拍賣(mài) 與瑞典女郎情史曝光 赫本生前服飾倫敦拍賣(mài) 拍價(jià)大超預(yù)期 英查爾斯王儲(chǔ)老情書(shū)網(wǎng)上拍賣(mài) （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯蔡姍姍） |
