    million dollar comics


    By now you've probably heard the news that a CGC graded copy of Action Comics #1 recently sold for a million smackers to an unnamed party who clearly has more money than he or she knows what to do with. While this is clearly an important comic and a piece of Americana, it's definitely not that great of a comic to read.

    This got me thinking about all of the great comics I've read over the years and what they're worth to me. As much as I love graphic novels, there's still something about a well-executed single comic that drives me wild! So, price guide aside, here's the single comic that's worth a million bucks to me:

    It's got a great story by Bob "Flaming Carrot" Burden and beautiful artwork by the legendary Art Adams, and can still be found languishing in quarter bins all over. If you ever spot one, snap it up quick, you're in for a treat!

    Do you have a favorite comic that's worth a million bucks to you? If so, email me at million@hijinxcomics.com and tell me why. I'll be picking some of my favorites to post on this blog and my favorite will win a free dollar bin shopping spree at Hijinx!
