NEW YORK (PIX11) — Long before kids could find anything they wanted on social media, comic books were a popular pastime.

Superman, Captain Marvel, and a slew of other comic characters captured the imagination of generations of young people. But none was a match for Batman, a character marking its 85th anniversary this weekend.

The very first issue of the Batman series, published in 1939, sold for ten cents. Recently, the original copy sold for $1.74 million.

Batman is just as popular today as he was 85 years ago. Over the course of eight decades, Batman has endured as an iconic comic book character.
