Superman Comic Saves Family Home From Foreclosure

A couple's home was saved from foreclosure after they found a copy of Action Comics #1 in a box in the basement. From the article: "In a statement released through ComicConnect, the owner of the prized comic book said the family was still 'a little shell shocked' after the unexpected find. 'I was so nervous when I realized what it was worth,' the owner said. 'I know I am very fortunate but I will be greatly relieved when this book finds a new home.'"

I don't know any of the details about the failed business, but even in the best of economic climates, the odds are against you.

The odds are against you when you start a small business. Therefore nobody should start a small business, and these people are venal and stupid for having done so, and deserve a fiery death, rather than a comic book savior.
