Actor Nicolas Cage plans to sell his comic book collection — including one with the first appearance of Superman — at the Dallas ComiCon, a collectors' convention Oct. 11-13.
The collection of about 400 comic books includes Action Comics #1. The collection also includes comics with the first appearances of Batman, Captain America and Green Lantern, John Petty, director of auctions for Heritage Comics Auctions, said Tuesday.
Heritage, of Dallas, will jointly conduct the auction with a Kansas City, Mo., dealer specializing in rare comics. Petty said the collection could "realize a value well into seven figures."
"It's not so much that it's a huge collection, it's that Nick collects toward quality. He bought them in really nice condition," Petty said.
