Two weeks ago Sony released the most anticipated teaser trailer in recent years, that of the third installment of the Spider-Man saga starring Tom Holland.
The incredible hype surrounding the film is something never seen before.
The teaser of Spider-Man: No Way Home, this is the full title of the film coming out on December, was the most viewed ever in the first 24 hours with 355.5 million views. 

A limitless amount of theories and speculation are being unleashed around the film, and apparently, the shockwave of this incredible and immense attention could be one of the reasons for another incredible record involving the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”.

The American auction house Heritage Auctions, which deals with numismatic collections, comics, fine arts, music, history and sports has auctioned off the comic book Marvel ‘Amazing Fantasy N. 15, the issue in which we see the first appearance of Peter Parker/Spider-Man and in which we are told the origins of the character.

Marvel ‘Amazing Fantasy N. 15 released in 1962, written by Stan Lee and Steve Dikto with magnificent illustrations by Jack Kirby and selling for 12 cents on the dollar at the time, was beaten by Heritage Auctions at a final price of $3.6 million becoming the most expensive comic book ever sold.  

Below you can see the announcement moment.
