As Scoop reported last week, ComicConnect.com stunned the world on Monday, February 22, 2010, with the sale of the Kansas City Copy of Action Comics #1 (CGC 8.0) for an astonishing $1,000,000, making it the first comic book in the history of our hobby to sell for seven figures. Even though the record was bested just a few days later, it will remain the first comic to ever sell in that price range. It also continues the company’s notable successes with Action Comics #1.
