The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the cover art for Spider-Man #1 has gone up for sale at Heritage Auctions for a whopping $195,000. Originally published in 1990, it is one of the best-selling comic books of all-time, selling 2.35 million copies. Whether it now will end up selling for a record price is unknown, but there is still 19 days left to bid if you fancy emptying your savings accounts. Bidding closes at 10pm on July 25th before a live auction the following day. Todd McFarlane's "Torment" is a beloved tale for most fans of Spider-Man, and while the writing isn't considered to be the best (something McFarlane himself has acknowledged in the past) the art is fantastic, making this piece a must-buy. If, you know, you're rich.
