New York (WBAP/KLIF) – A rare copy of the first Superman comic book has been sold for more than two and a half million dollars. The seller, a Houston resident, bought it in 1979 from the original owner who paid ten cents for it in 1939. The new owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, paid $2.6 million for it at a ComicConnect.com online auction. It has been kept in a temperature-controlled safe for the last 43 years.
