For those of us who are or at one time were comic-book collectors (
or just reading for the fun of it), there is a Holy Grail. Something that we've all dreamed of finding in a dusty attic or basement at a relative's house or something. A copy of
Action Comics #1 - the very first appearance of Superman.

OK, I'm not nor was I ever a big fan of the Big Blue Boy Scout. That didn't stop me from daydreaming about finding a copy of
Action #1 hidden behind a panel in a closet somewhere. I'd rather it be a copy of
Detective Comics #27, but whatever. Dreams are what comic-books are all about. They never come true, though. Right?
Wrong.
A family facing an imminent threat of foreclosure on their home
stumbled upon a rare find in their basement. That's right...a copy of
Action #1. Not in great condition, but good enough to solve their foreclosure woes.
Dreams do come true.
