Atlantic City Copy
Highest GradedDecember 1939. Cover and art by Joe Shuster. Still in his infancy, Superman shows us his strength by ripping the turret off an enemy tank on this Joe Shuster cover. With this issue, the regular Superman covers in the series begin, and this comic also debuted the first published advertising appearance of some of the most important superheroes to follow, Flash and Hawkman.
After over 10 years of CGC grading, finally a 9.4 of this early Superman appearance has surfaced! With razor sharp corners, a strong spine and super-technicolor inks bursting off the cover, this copy is just gorgeous. This stunning comic hails from the Atlantic City Collection.
Overstreet Guide #41 9.2 value is $14,500. Throw out the guide on this one.

He published an updated version of his autobiography "Batman and Me: The Saga Continues" shortly before his death in 1998. He got his start at the Eisner/Iger studio and was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
