TLDR

A copy of the first issue of 'Superman,' discovered in a Californian attic, has become the most expensive comic ever sold, fetching $9.12 million at auction. The 1939 comic, originally sold for 10 cents, was found in a cardboard box and was deemed the 'highest ever graded copy' by Heritage Auctions. The comic was part of a collection that the late owner had bought with her brother during the Great Depression and later passed on to her sons. The comic's valuation was high due to its superior condition and its place in DC's first print run of half a million copies.
