Superman Action Comics 1 rescues Boston family from foreclosure

Fictional superhero Superman came to the real-life rescue of one Boston, Mass., family who found themselves up against the dark forces of foreclosure.

To the tune of about $250,000.

MyFOXBoston.com reports that the family, which has chosen to remain anonymous, discovered the rare 1938 comic in a box stowed away in their basement since the 1950s.

In fact, the distressed homeowners came across it while packing, assuming their days were numbered with a looming repossession of their home.

Not anymore.

The comic earned a VG+ (Very Good) rating and is expected to sell faster than a speeding bullet on ComicConnect.com for a cool quarter-million in the very near future.

It’s a big save just in the nick of time … and that’s no trade secret.
