London: The first ever Superman comic which was bought for a meagre
amount of some 35 cent has fetched $317,200 (around Rs1.6 crore)
at an online auction.

Rocker John Dolmayan, drummer for the Armenian-American alternative
metal band System of a Down, paid the huge amount to possess the
rare book.

The untouched ‘Action Comic No. 1’–which shows the Man of Steel
lifting a car on the cover–went on sale on 27 February, the
Contactmusic.com reported. After a two-week auction, Dolmayan entered
the bid on Friday.
