This book has been sold. TITLE: ACTION COMICS-1938 ISSUE: #1 GRADE: CGC G+: 2.5 PUBLISHER: DC COMMENTS: white pgs tape inside of spine (please read bidding requirements in listing description)
1st Superman by Siegel and Shuster
Some books seem to go in and out of fashion. Action Comics #1 will never be one of those books.
In March, ComicConnect brought to market an Action Comics #1 CGC 6.0. The auction made global headline news. Consequently, a second Action Comics #1 CGC 1.8 was uncovered and consigned to ComicConnect, and sold in their following Event Auction on May 1st. And now, a THIRD Action Comics #1 is brought to market, graded a CGC 2.5 with white pages. This copy comes from the State of Washington. The consignor's mother, who passed away fourteen years ago, told her son she remembered owning it ever since she was a little girl in grade school. By the time she was in high school, she began to recognize that the first Superman appearance was something of significance, and began to preserve the comic book for safekeeping. Her son recalls first seeing it when she showed it to him when he was a freshman in high school, back in 1984. His mother impressed upon him that it was something of value. In 1989, they moved it to a bank security box, and now it is brought to market for the first time in over 60 years.
