An Action Comics #1 selling for $3500! Who would have thought?

"They always portray the women as a very limp-wristed kind of "Help! Help!", You know, "Superhero save me" And the superhero that is doing this is always a man, and te man is always portrayed as the big bronze triangle, broad shoulders, waist… you look at Wonder Woman and Supergirl . When they're not out saving the world, they're very worried about their boyfriends, you know, if I've got a boyfriend. When little girls or even little boys they all of a sudden get the idea this is important you have to be pretty, you have to have a man. Which is a very wrong idea."
