Second Most Valuable Comic Found in PA Attic

The comic book, which features Batman's debut, is a pre-WWII Detective Comics No. 27. It is worth about $250,000. It was in near-mint condition when it was found in an attic in Pennsylvania and sold to Todd McDevitt, owner of the Pittsburgh region's five New Dimension Comics stores.

When the seller walked in with the Batman issue, "my eyes almost popped out of my head," McDevitt said. I guess I should have been more reserved, but I'm not a very good poker player," he said. Experts estimate there are between 20 and a few hundred copies of the Batman debut. McDevitt's comic now sits safely in an airtight bag in a bank vault. On occasion, he takes it out to show friends and customers. "I've been toying with the idea of reading it, but I haven't yet," he said. "I'm going to savor it."
