DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED FOR THIS COMIC!
origin & 1st app. of Superman by Siegel and Shuster


Every passing year confirms Action Comics #1 as the most important event in the history of comics publishing. This is the book that introduced a fantastic new kind of hero, as created by teen visionaries Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The inspiring Man of Steel became an instant icon to Depression-era readers before transforming into a symbol of national pride during the brutal days of WWII.

Since then, the Man of Steel has spent decades as one of the world’s most recognizable fictional characters — transcending comics and pop culture as the face of truth, justice, and the American way. It's also clear that Superman’s first appearance will continue to be cherished by future generations. The making of DC Studios’ upcoming big-screen Superman has already become one of this year’s biggest showbiz stories.

ComicConnect is proud to have been part of Action #1's rise as the world's most collectible comic. We’ve been setting new sales records for Superman’s debut since launching the company, including the book's first $1,000,000 sale back in 2010. Earlier this year, Action #1 made headlines again with a $6 million sale for a CGC-graded 8.5 copy. That adds up to decades of passionate collectors investing wisely while also preserving a true cultural artifact.

This is your chance! It's not like these things grow on trees, though it may seem that way if you've been following the ComicConnect.com Event Auctions for the last year! Here is the 5th copy we have offered for sale in the last year and a half. 3 in 3.0 - 15 higher.



This is a knockout of a copy. A truly affordable copy of Action #1! This 3.0 has the eye appeal of a higher grade. "I've held this book in my hands outside of the CGC holder and it is remarkable. Great paper, supple pages, good color and completely unrestored" stated ComicConnect.com COO, Vincent Zurzolo.



We realize many of you would like to participate in this auction so ComicConnect.om is offering a 6 month, interest free, time payment plan. There will be no credit cards accepted for this comic.
