DESCRIPTION
off white pgs, M(P) includes ct, pieces added, tear seals, spine splits sealed, cleaned, re-inforced, reglossed
2nd Superman cover! rare in any gradeAlthough Superman proved to be a smash hit from day one, DC didn't have any Man of Steel covers lined up for the character until six months after his debut, relegating him to interiors while wrapping the issues in the illustrative, punchy, pulp-style covers that had graced both New Adventure and More Fun up to that point. Action #7 boasts the second-ever appearance of Superman on a comic book cover. Joe Shuster's perfectly understated style sets the mood for the character's early appearances, his bold strength, and boisterous energy perfectly match the simplified lines and stark, evocative landscape that works in perfect unity with Jerry Siegel's punchy dialogue and rapid-fire plotting, these elements all come together to give the series an unmatched kinetic energy. This is a tough book in any grade, restored or not -- and this moderately retouched copy is an attractive option for anyone needing a solid copy of this scarce book without breaking the bank! Overstreet 2011 FN Guide Value: $22,059
