A rare copy of the first-ever published issue of Marvel Comics was just sold for $2.4 million at auction.
Want to own a piece of Marvel history? According to CNN, a rare "pay copy" of Marvel Comics No. 1 that was originally published in 1939 just netted over $2.4 million dollars at auction. That's right, for one issue of a comic. But, to be fair, a pay copy means that there are notes in there on how much the artists would be paid. Publisher Lloyd Jacquet's notes about the work that Frank Paul did on the cover are in there in pencil.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The auction isn't new to Marvel. A rare one-page shot of Spider-Man in his all-black suit for the first time auctioned for over $3 million just last year. So seeing big-ticket comics from Marvel's history isn't exactly a surprise but owning the first-ever Marvel comic? That would make any comic fan happy."This is the beginning.
This comic is a huge part of history, especially given how big Marvel has become within the last ten years alone. So to own a piece of history that has some of the first appearances of characters we've loved for nearly a century is huge! Congrats to the lucky bidder and hopefully this gets everyone on the right path to finally giving us a Submariner appearance in the MCU.
