Posted by Mark Seifert August 27, 2017
An All Star Comics #8 graded CGC 9.4 has just sold on ebay for a record $936,223.00. The December 1941 comic book contains the origin and first appearance of Wonder Woman by Willam Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter. This CGC 9.4 copy is the sole highest graded copy of this issue ever graded by CGC, with the next-highest graded unrestored copies graded at CGC 9.0. This sale is far and away the highest price ever paid for any copy of All Star Comics #8, handily surpassing the $411,001 that a CGC 9.0 copy of the comic sold for at Comic Connect in March 2016.
Updated: The seller, Darren Adams of Pristine Comics, had two other census-topping Wonder Woman keys which closed at auction later last night. Sensation Comics #1 CGC 9.6 (January 1942, DC Comics) for $399,100.00, which is a new record for this issue, and Wonder Woman #1 CGC 9.0 ‘Solicitation Copy’ for $226,877.77.
All Star Comics #8 CGC 9.4 Sale for $936,223.00
Giving that All Star Comics #8 sale a little more context, we can also compare sales such as:
Action Comics #1 CGC 9.0 for $3,207,852.00 in August 2014 (first appearance of Superman, and incidentally, from the same seller who sold this All Star Comics #8)
Detective Comics #27 CGC 8.0 for $1,075,500 in February 2010 (first appearance of Batman)
Wonder Woman #1 CGC 9.0 for $291,100 in December 2016 (and this price point is about to get tested again, as this same copy closes later tonite at auction).
