Spider-Man comic book sold for $1.1 million

In March this year, a near-perfect condition copy of the inaugural 1962 Spider-Man comic book by Marvel, sold via an online auction for $1.1 million. Originally the comic sold for just 12 cents. That is a over 9 million times increase in value, not a bad investment, though it is over nearly 50 years. It is not the highest ever paid for a comic book, Superman's 1938 debut comic book was sold for $1.5 million in 2010.
