An Action Comics #1 Goes For $1M

I don't cover the collectibles side of comics as much as I should. I might pay attention to it more frequently if I could be convinced it functioned in a way that provided a useful mirror on the art form, but I'm not quite there yet. Anyway, it's hard to deny the power and outlandish energy of a certain kind released by a comic book selling for one million dollars in the middle of a recession, even if it's one of the two best copies of Action Comics of about 100 known. Worth noting is that the comic book apparently went for $150K not too long ago and that this punks a planned huge sale driven by lot of publicity for a Batman-starring comic that was expected to send the single-comic record.
