love-and-other-drugs-e12995105744392-9897982Romantic comedies have become such a formula that filmmakers either follow the dots or strain to find a new spin on the concept.

Amazing Fantasy #15 9.8, 1st Spider-Man

The highest-graded copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, featuring the debut of Spider-Man from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, has sold in a private transaction for $1.1 million. This is by far the highest price paid for a Silver Age comic book, and is an almost one billion percent increase from the 12¢ cover price.

The CGC 9.6 NM+ copy is the highest grade of the book known to exist, and is the only copy in that grade. The previous best sale for a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 was for $227,000 in 2007 for a 9.4 copy from the famous White Mountain collection.

The broker for the sale is Metropolis Comics and their website comicconnect.com, who previously sold an Action Comics #1 for 1.5 million last year.
