Batman Whips Superman

The argument is settled. Batman can beat Superman–at least he did last week. Last Thursday (Feb. 25) Detective Comics No. 27, which featured the first appearance of Batman, sold for the new record price of $1,075,500 at a Heritage Galleries auction. The printed comic book, originally priced 10 cents in 1939, was in “8” condition (grading is 1 to 10). The price beat the $1 million record set by the first Superman comic book three days earlier.
