Join us as we review “Selling Superman,” a gripping 4-part documentary that flips the classic tale of parents throwing away comic collections on its head. When Darren Watt inherits over 300,000 comics from his estranged father – including a jaw-dropping $3 million copy of Superman #1 – what should be a collector’s dream transforms into an emotional nightmare. Watch our breakdown of this fascinating story where a secret comic empire, built behind a family’s back, forces one man to confront his complicated past.
In this review, we explore how director Adam Schomer masterfully captures his friend’s journey through the unfamiliar world of high-stakes comic collecting while processing deep emotional trauma. Beyond the rare finds and multiple copies of valuable issues like Star Wars #1, this is ultimately a powerful story about mental health, family relationships, and the unexpected weight of inheritance. Find out why this documentary series, now streaming on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play, is a must-watch that goes far beyond the world of comics
