One of the world’s rarest comic books has been found in the insulation of an old American house.
Action Comics No. 1 from 1938, featuring the debut of Superman was found by David Gonzales when he was renovating his house. The comic was mixed in with old newspapers insulating the walls within his house.
The book had sat undisturbed in the ceiling of the house in Hoffman for over 70 years.
When it was released in 1938, the comic book sold for just 10 cents. Now in an online auction that ends on June 11, Gonzalez has already received offers as high as $137,000 for the comic book.
That’s more than 10 times the price that Gonzalez paid for the house in which he found the book.
