I LOVED comic books like Superman and Batman.

Is this Fairy Superman or Normal Superman?

This is the only issue that Da Vinci painted, so it should go for quite a lot!

Another copy of the same comic book fetched $3 million at auction in 2014

That's got to sting a little bit. If only my dad had been into comic books. In 1938 he would have been the right age too, 13.

One of the reason that the Golden age books from the 30’s and 40’s are so rare as compared to Silver (60s-early 70s), etc is due to the paper drives during WWII. Huge amounts of comics, magazines, newspapers, etc were gathered for those drives and it was considered a civic duty to turn them in.

Most of the ones that remain were either found in serious collections from business men well past draft age when those owners passed or discovered in attics and other out of sight places.

I had a friend in high school (1969-1972) whose father already had an enormous collection. Practically every book shelve in his house was full of comic books. I was told the father never bought a comic book addition to his collection that was worth less than five dollars, at the time. Some he kept in a vault. I believe the collection is now housed at the University of Florida. A lot of fun thumbing through that collection back then.

The first 2+ years of Supeman comics, 784 pages; available for around $50 everywhere online.

The problem is that these were printed on acid based pulp paper.they deteriorate very rapidly especially in sunlight. As a collector item they are worthless

I still have 2 copies. The 3rd one was eaten by the dog.

I am constantly amazed at what people manage to cherish and spend so much money on.

Loved comics as a kid - Spider-Man and Black Panther were a couple favorites but Superman and Batman were also up there. Also liked Archie and company.

Then I got older ... I guess I in some way envy those who managed to stay so excited about the simpler things....
