UPI – A record-breaking auction saw The Amazing Spider-Man No 1 from March 1963 sell for USD1.38 million.
This particular issue, highlighting Spider-Man’s inaugural meeting with the Fantastic Four, stands out as one of just two copies to attain a Near Mint/Mint 9.8 grading from the Certified Guaranty Company.
The comic book, which was released only seven months after the character’s debut in Amazing Fantasy No 15, was auctioned by Heritage Auctions and fetched a high bid of USD1.38 million, the most ever paid for a copy of Amazing Spider-Man No 1. The previous record, sold in July 2023, was USD520,380.
The auction lot also included a copy of Superman No 1 that sold for USD2.34 million and a copy of 1942’s All Star Comics No 8, the first appearance of Wonder Woman, sold for USD1.5 million.
