They should give the owner who it was stolen from end of story.

So does the guy get his comic back? Or is it some finder keepers type deal going on?

The comic book world is much more interesting than "how much Superman #1 is going to sell for" which is the only story we ever see. How about an Alan Moore interview, AP? Not going to happen. This is why old media is dying.

@Dalmuros1234 It's clearly not cause we had words elsewhere. So I stick by what I said.

I'm all for jokes. I love jokes. Offensive jokes, bad jokes, good jokes.... whatever, and I can take a joke.

That, I found out, was no joke. When you assume you have a risk of putting your foot in your mouth. You've defending a non-joke. I'm sticking w/ what I said to him earlier.

@visceralguy OK, his statement was clearly a joke. I am all for immigrants, and I still took it as a joke. What was far more offensive - although I chose not to be offended - was you deciding that he should burn with Hitler for his remark. That's patently absurd.

The owner was Nicholas Cage. Many of his comics were stolen from his home in 2000. He was so upset about it that he sold off the rest of his collection. His books were insured and he did receive a payout for the stolen Action 1 so who actually owns this particular book now is a good question.

@Dalmuros1234 You thought he was kidding around but he wasn't. That's cold blooded.

I'm a comic book and Superman fan. I know it's not real that he's saved the universe or world EVER in real life but in the comic book he has.... :>)

Pick up an issue and find out.

That non-joke was just so not called for. Besides I live in the South where I hear stuff like that and it just isn't funny. Especially when you equate that joke w/ Superman, an iconic, definitive super hero.  Not cool at all.

I'm sure it's worth every penny. :)
