Stolen Rare Superman Comic Book Recovered After a Decade

About a decade ago, a rare Superman comic book was taken from American actor Nicolas Cage. The said comic book was the mint copy of Action Comics No. 1, which introduced Superman in 1938 and appeared to have been discovered in a storage locker in the San Fernand Valley last week.

Los Angeles Police Department's Art Theft Detail's Detective Don Hrycyk said Monday that the comic has been authenticated and appeared to be the one stolen from Cage in 2000.

Cage was reported to have accepted an insurance pay-out after the comic book's theft and "will have to work out the details with the company."

In March 2010, a copy of the Superman issue was sold for $1.5 million; it originally sold for a dime.
