Miller’s cover is the first to be sold from DC Comics’ 1986 four-issue “Dark Knight” miniseries.
The copy of “Batman” No. 1 from 1940 shows Batman and Robin swinging in front of a Gotham City skyline. It was auctioned on behalf of Tadano America Corp.
The record price for a comic book remains with “Action Comics” No. 1, selling for $2.16 million in 2011. It featured Superman’s first appearance.
