Superman saves day for foreclosed family
NEW YORK, A New York auction house says bankers have agreed to allow a family to remain in their home until their rare copy of the first Superman comic book is sold.
The anonymous family was in the process of moving from their foreclosed home somewhere in the southern United States when they came upon Action Comics No. 1, which the auctioneers said could fetch as much as $250,000.
The comic will go on the block in New York on Aug. 27, WABC-TV in New York said Wednesday.
The auction house told WABC they reached out to the bank that was foreclosing on the home and they agreed to hold off until Superman saves the day in the form of an 11th-hour cash infusion.
