David Gonzalez was gutting a fixer-upper in the town of Elbow Lake, Minn., when he spotted an old comic book tucked in with the newspapers used to insulate the wall. He figured the colorful discovery might be worth a little money, but was amazed to discover it was actually one of the rarest comic books of all time—the 1938 Action Comics #1 that introduced the world to Superman. Gonzalez is likely to reap a six-figure sum from the book’s auction, which is not bad considering he bought the dilapidated house for around $10,000.
