The first Spider-Man comic which was released in 1962 and sold at the time for 12c was just sold at auction for $1.1 million. The second highest a comic has ever sold behind the 1938 first edition of Super Man comic. The comic was in excellent condition and sold through ComicConnect.com. Easy way to create a nice sized estate selling a 12c item for well over a million dollars. See Spider Man Comic Sells for $1.1 million from Yahoo News.
