Superman = 317

As in $317,000:

A rare copy of the first Superman comic, dating from 1938, has sold at auction for $317,200 (£227,000).

The online auction started two weeks ago and attracted 89 bidders. Neither the buyer nor the seller were named.

The copy was described as unrestored. The cover shows the cape-wearing action hero from the planet Krypton lifting a car above his head. -Beeb

How timely. No, not Timely, you comics geeks!

Ha! What a clownshoe. Barackobamun is playing those dumb governors like a fiddle. Or rather, his handlers like Volcker and Zbiggy are...

"$317,000 and 89 bidders."

Time to bring out the "Are you frickin' kidding me?" banner...

Seriously. This is starting to be like a rorschach test for the entire human race. It's always great when several themes seem to converge nicely (comics + money + egyptian gods "peeking through the veil")
