Alot of cash for a comic book even if it is a rare copy of the first comic book featuring Superman.....

Goddammit.

Last summer, I actually picked up a copy of the best reproduction of Action Comics No. 1, produced in the mid-70s. It's identical to the original except it's oversized and there are some very subtle differences on the front cover — shading and stuff.

It's still cool but not worth $300,000. I have it in a frame.

Have you ever seen this guy's custom drum kit? He had various comic artists take a piece of his kit and draw an original comic art scene on the drum. The kit is worth HUGE money!

I'm a computer idiot and don't know how to put pics on here, but Google "John Dolmayan Comic Strip Drum Kit"...you get links. Here a brief description and the artists on the kit:

Dolmayan incorporated his love for comic books into the drum kit that he played during System of a Down’s 2006 tour. Dolmayan contacted 22 of his favorite comic book artists, including Jim Lee, Simon Bisley, Kevin Eastman, Neal Adams and Bill Sienkiewicz, were each sent various pieces of the drum kit onto which they drew original illustrations.
