There was a time when Steve Geppi looked like he might be made bankrupt.

But that was before The Walking Dead became the monster hit it did. When the comics distributor he owned, Diamond Comic Distributors and Diamond Book Distributors found itself the exclusive print distributor for both the comic shops and bookstores – and for Amazon.

And before long, one in every two books from Diamond Book Distributors was The Walking Dead. Diamond were rescued from potential insolvency and Geppi survived the threat of being made bankrupt. And prospered.

And now he has bid $1.65 million dollars for a copy of Action Comics #1 in CGC 9.0 condition, currently on eBay.

That bid lasted for eight hours until another bidder plumped down $1.7 million. Too rich for Geppi's blood. It now stands at over $2 million.

Will he have another bid before the auction ends?
