Plot Summary

A 4-part documentary, Selling Superman follows a 40-year family secret that only a few people knew about. Darren's father had a hidden Asperger's (ASD) disorder that drove an obsessive yet genius collecting of comic books - causing great trauma, overtaking a home and destroying a family. Now after his father's passing, Darren is left with a holy grail collection of over 300,000 comic books. This includes his father's most prized possession: a Superman #1 (7.0) valued at over $3.5Million, making it one of the most expensive comic books of all time. He faces off with the adventure of Selling Superman (and the whole collection), with his comic fanatic long-time friend Brian by his side. But Darren is still picking up the pieces of his childhood, trying to rewrite a family legacy, and hopefully discover the heroic power within: that we can choose how we perceive life and value ourselves.
