Welcome to the WBZ book Club. I'm Jordan Rich, more powerful than to
look about him, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. Look
up in the sky, it's a burgeon. It's Superman's Yeah. Here's news
about a different kind of book, a comic book, one that just sold
for millions. A copy of the nineteen thirty eight Superman comic book called Action
Comics Number One. Yes, it recently sold for six million dollars. CGC,
a third party grading service for pop culture collectibles, says this is just
one of seventy eight copies they've graded. Just two hundred thousand copies of Action
Comics Number One were published in nineteen thirty eight, telling the story of a
little baby sent off to Earth from a dying planet. He lands here and
becomes Clark Kent, who, of course becomes Superman. Without Superman and Action
Comics Number One, the golden Age of comic books might have taken a different
turn, and that is the Book Club. WBZ, Boston's news radio
