A particularly prized copy of the first-ever Marvel comic book has fetched more than $2.4 million in an online auction. It's known as the Marvel Comics No. 1 'pay copy.'
The buyer's name has not been disclosed. He is "an extremely passionate comic book collector and investor" who also collects other items, Zurzolo said.
The very well-preserved "pay copy" is especially sought-after because it bears the publisher's handwritten notes recording how much the multiple writers and artists were paid. For example, Frank R. Paul earned $25 for drawing the cover of a book now worth nearly 100,000 times as much.
