Man inherits million dollar comic book collection

by Laura Domela

It’s a story you’ve heard before-a cache of Golden Age comics are discovered and end up being worth a bundle. But this collection, inherited by Michael Rorrer from his aunt, contained 44 of Overstreet Price Guide‘s Top 100 issues, including Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27 (1st appearance of Batman), and Captain America #2, just to name a few. Here’s more on this incredible inheritance:

“This is just one of those collections that all the guys in the business think don’t exist anymore,” said Lon Allen, the managing director of comics for Heritage Auctions, the Dallas-based auction house overseeing the sale.

The Action Comics No. 1 — which Wright bought when he was about 11 — is expected to sell for about $325,000.
