Awesome!

'38. Damn!

From perezhilton.com:

"System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan has purchased the first comic book featuring Superman for $317,200 dollars!!!

Insane!

The hard rock drummer who doubles as a comic book dealer shelled out the big bucks for the ultra-rare Action Comics No. 1 from 1938 in an online auction for one of his clients.

There are a reported 100 copies of Superman's debut comic in existence and rarely are up for sale. "This is one of the premier books you could collect," Dolmayan explained in an interview. "It's considered the Holy Grail of comic books. I talked to my client, and we made the move."

And how much did the previous owner pay for the rare comic?

Only 35 cents!"
