He also voiced Spider-Man Noir in Into the Spider-VerseSuperman in The Teen Titans Go! At the movie theatergrandpa in Kick assand titled Tim Burton’s superman livesso his credentials are already well established.
Cage is also known to have sold his copy of Action Comics #1 for $2.1 million a decade ago, but a significant portion of his collection was stolen and never returned in its entirety, which which always hurts. The star of the Unbearable Weight of enormous talent.
To which he called the troops during a Questions and answers on Twitter session when asked what treasure he would want to steal if the Declaration of Independence was missing.
“I just want my comics back. They were stolen, you know, I bought these books at a very good price and now they are treasures of about 10 million dollars. Someone has them in a treasure chest somewhere and I – please give them back, because I could do a lot with that. I might donate it to charity at this point.
The bad news is that Cage just revealed the collection is worth over $8 million, which probably won’t entice the current owner to part with them unless they’ve already sold.
