Profiles in History announced today that it will sell a copy of Action Comics #1 at a Dec. 19 auction in Los Angeles.
The comic, which features Superman hoisting a car over his head on its cover, is expected to sell for between USD 800,000 to USD 1.2 million.
The auction house says the comic is in its original condition and has been rated in fine/very fine condition.
