"Nicolas Cage&amp;#039;s copy of Action Comics #1 has sold for a record $2.1 million (\u00C2\u00A31.3 million). The DC Comics issue, which features the first appearance of Superman, was auctioned through ComicConnect for $2,161,000 (\u00C2\u00A31,378,000). The mint-condition 1938 title fulfilled expectations by beating the previous sales record of $1.5 million (\u00C2\u00A3960,000). &amp;quot;The buyer was extremely excited about the prospect of bidding on this,&amp;quot; ComicConnect COO Vincent Zurzolo told Comic Riffs. &amp;quot;I think he had an adrenaline rush for the last two hours.&amp;quot; The comic was stolen in 2000 and discovered in a storage locker in Los Angeles earlier in the year. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster&amp;#039;s comic originally sold for 10 cents (6p). About 100 copies are thought to exist, but only a few of those are in good condition.
