    Oops, the link does not work. It was a 1938 Superman #1 that sold for $40,101.00 on ebay a few weeks ago.

    I have also found that Guinness World Records is a bit behind the times.

    In 2002, Nicolas Cage sold his comic book collection. A 1940 All-Star Comic #3 introducing the Justice Society of America sold for $126,500 against a value of $45,000.

    October 2003 (Newstream) -- A reward of up to $1 million is being offered by prominent Baltimore business executive, Stephen A. Geppi, for a near mint condition copy of the rare 1938 comic book that first introduced Superman and launched an icon of American pop culture.

    Action Comics #1, the 1938 debut issue of Superman, has steadily appreciated in value for 64 years and is currently worth about $350,000, he said.

    While there is a difference between most expensive and most valuable, it seems the Action Comics debut issue is both.

    FYI, Joe Shuster co-creator of Superman was Canadian.
