| I've just seen this on the news here in Spain, something I'd never expect to happen. It seems like John paid for it 317.200 dollars, the most expensive comic ever bought. |

I'm sure he'll get triple the price when he sells it.  Is there a link/source for that? |

Yeah it's true. I read that earlier Comic Connect wanted to sell this comic for 500.000 dollars...
So I think that 317.200 $ is good price.  |

That's funny that they describe John as "a dealer of rare comic books" but they don't mention his company, Torpedo Comics.
Nice find! |

| I was already worried of his money but:
Quote:
The winning bid for the 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1, which features Superman lifting a car on its cover, was submitted Friday evening by John Dolmayan, drummer for the rock band System of a Down, according to managers at ComicConnect.com.
Dolmayan, who is also a dealer of rare comic books, said he acquired the Superman comic on behalf of a client he declined to identify.
"This is one of the premier books you could collect," he said in a telephone interview. "It's considered the Holy Grail of comic books. I talked to my client, and we made the move."
Dolmayan said the client has "a small collection, but everything he has is incredible."
