Action Comics #1 Ashcan Sells For $204,000 At Auction Posted on A copy of the Action Comics #1 Ashcan recently sold for $204,000 at auction. One of only three known copies, the last one sold for $50,000 twelve years ago and the other is in the DC Comics vaults. Intriguingly, the Action Comics ashcan doesn't have any Superman in it, just pages from Detective Comics and it was only a way to secure a trademark on a comic book title for a publisher. But it does have a cover that was never used. The auction listing explains it all. And you can watch the auction, as it took place, below.
