The Marvel Comics 1 'pay copy' has fetched more than $2.4 million in an online auction.
NEW YORK -- A particularly prized copy of the first-ever Marvel comic book fetched more than $2.4 million in an online auction, the auctioneer said Friday.
The buyer's name has not been disclosed. He is"an extremely passionate comic book collector and investor" who also collects other items, Zurzolo said. The very well-preserved"pay copy" is especially sought-after because it bears the publisher's handwritten notes recording how much the multiple writers and artists were paid. For example, Frank R. Paul earned $25 for drawing the cover of a book now worth nearly 100,000 times as much.
