"CGC has only 72 total DC #27s. Of those, just 35 attained the universal label, meaning it is complete with all the pages and no missing ads. There are only 36 restored copies and one qualified grade listed in the CGC census data, which is a testament to its rarity in any and all categories. "

On Thursday, August 4, 2016, a copy of Action Comics #1 with the first appearance of Superman quickly flew past the $750,000 estimate to sell for close to $1 million at Heritage Auctions. As part of their Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction, Heritage sold the 1938 comic, graded 5.5 by CGC, for $956,000. It set a new record for sale of Action Comics #1 at Heritage.
“As the bidding went higher and higher we were grateful bidders recognized this copy as the gem it truly is,” said Lon Allen, Managing Director of Comics & Comic Art at Heritage. “Few copies of this comic survive, let alone come to auction with such a bright cover. It displays beautifully.”
Action Comics #1 was originally sold on comic racks for just 10¢ in June 1938. There are only about 100 copies currently known to exist.
The copy that sold on Thursday was part of a collection that was purchased from a dealer in the 1990s for $26,000. Allen also stated that the copy likely drew intense bidding because it is very attractive for the grade.

#JustinTrudeau joins Alpha Flight

Make way, Liberal cabinet: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will have another all-Canadian crew in his corner as he suits up for his latest feature role — comic book character.
Trudeau will grace the variant cover of issue No. 5 of Marvel’s “Civil War II: Choosing Sides,” due out Aug. 31.
Trudeau is depicted smiling, sitting relaxed in the boxing ring sporting a Maple Leaf-emblazoned tank, black shorts and red boxing gloves. Standing behind him are Puck, Sasquatch and Aurora, who are members of Canadian superhero squad Alpha Flight. In the left corner, Iron Man is seen with his arms crossed.
“I didn’t want to do a stuffy cover — just like a suit and tie — put his likeness on the cover and call it a day,” said award-winning Toronto-based cartoonist Ramon Perez.

I'm ending Hellboy to go paint watercolors instead

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/may/30/mike-mignola-final-hellboy-comic-paint-watercolors?CMP=share_btn_tw

Read the whole article at the link above. It's good. I've always enjoyed Hellboy, and I had the pleasure of meeting Mignola at the Calgary Expo one year. Great guy, very engaging.  

Mike Mignola’s Hellboy is one of the most widely praised and visually distinctive comics of the last three decades, spawning two critically acclaimed Guillermo Del Toro movies, several spin-off comic books and assorted paraphernalia from action figures to video games.
Now, the character’s high-contrast, minimalist adventures are concluding with the hero ending his days where he began them: hell itself, where Mignola says he has found unexpected artistic freedom. The final issue ships this Wednesday, 1 June.
Over 22 years writing and drawing Hellboy – the first comic was published in October 1994 – Mignola has won virtually every major award in comics, some of them several times. Now, he says, he wants to narrow his focus still further. Mignola has cleared his schedule so he can take up watercolor painting, which is not a medium he’s used to.
