Action Comics Superman debut copy sells for $2.16m. 1 December 2011Last updated at 03:25 Action Comics No 1 sold originally for 10 cents A copy of the first issue of Action Comics, featuring Superman's debut, has become the world's most expensive comic, fetching $2.16m (£1.4m). It was auctioned online for a starting bid of just $1, with a reserve price of $900,000. The buyer or seller's name was not disclosed, but there is speculation it was owned by actor Nicolas Cage.
It is the first time a comic book has broken the $2m barrier. About 100 copies of Action Comics No 1 are thought to be in existence, and only a handful of those are in good condition. Another copy of the same issue sold for a then record-breaking $1.5m in March last year. But that one was not in as good condition as the copy that sold on Wednesday through New York-based ComicConnect. It is said to have been stolen in 2000 and was thought lost until recovered in a California storage shed in April this year - just like an issue owned by Nicolas Cage. La plus grande roue pour Moscou. Les Russes n’ont pas lésiné sur les moyens afin d’attirer les touristes. Une grande roue, voilà le projet. Mais pas n’importe laquelle, il s’agira en effet de la plus grande roue au monde. La Moscow View culminera à 220 mètres. Le record est actuellement détenu par la Beijing Great Wheel (208 mètres) à Pékin. En seconde place, la Singapore Flyer mesure 168 mètres de hauteur. Moscou a fait appel au cabinet d’architectes américain Gensler qui a vu plus loin qu’une simple roue puisqu’elle sera entourée de cafés, de magasins, de restaurants… Un véritable complexe en somme.
