The Marvel Comics No. 1, which was from 1939, sold on Thursday at an auction in Dallas for a staggering $1.26 million, according to Heritage Auctions.

Heritage said the buyer wished to remain anonymous.

Heritage said the comic book was first purchased at a newsstand by a Uniontown, Penn., mail carrier, who made a practice of buying the first issue of comic books and magazines. Jaster said that since then, the issue has only changed owners a handful of times.

Marvel Comics released its Marvel Comics 1000 issue in August, which paid homage to many of the entity’s most recognizable characters, including Iron man, the Hulk and Spider-Man. It also highlighted some of their lesser-known characters as well.
