We chatted with Adam Schomer about his documentary ‘Selling Superman‘ that features childhood friend Darren Watts, who sits on 300,000-plus comics, including an original Superman #1 along with full runs of extremely rare comics. Schomer and I discuss how this secret was kept for four decades, a secret that even Watts’ friends didn’t know about. We also talk about the divots imprinted in the carpet from the weight of the comic long boxes.

‘Selling Superman’ now available on al VOD platforms for purchase.

The highly anticipated four-part documentary series, ‘Selling Superman‘, is now available for purchase on major VOD platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play, in both English and Spanish. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Adam Schomer, the series takes audiences into a world where family secrets, comic book obsessions, and the journey to redemption collide.

Selling Superman‘ has already generated buzz with exclusive in-person screenings in Portland and Los Angeles, followed by a special online screening event for Comic Fandom. Schomer, admits he was not a comic book fan growing up the story of his friend in finding a connection with his late father through these comics was a journey he was excited to take.

The series ‘Selling Superman‘ traces Darren Watts’ emotional journey after discovering his father’s lifelong secret—an obsession that left behind a legacy of over 300,000 comic books, including one of the rarest treasures in the comic world: a Superman #1 comic graded 7.0, valued at over $3.5 million. This compulsive collection by Darren’s father, who lived with Asperger’s (ASD), filled every corner of their home, straining family bonds and leaving profound emotional marks. After his father’s passing, Darren is now faced with the bittersweet challenge of managing this incredible collection while confronting the pain and memories it holds.

Watts’ story, both heartbreaking and inspiring, unfolds as he decides to part with his father’s collection, joined by his friend Brian Krueger, a fellow comic book enthusiast. Together, they navigate the logistics of selling priceless comics while Darren wrestles with his past and seeks healing.
