Joe Shuster cover & art; origin story; pin-up bc; Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)As one of the top Golden Age keys, Superman #1 features an enduring Man of Steel cover image, plus a legendary origin that remains the definitive telling to most fans. (Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's updated tale adds four pages deleted from Action Comics #1.) There is also added historical importance with the book offering the first back-cover pin-up in comics history, as well as stories showcasing three of the most important supporting characters in the Superman pantheon: Ma and Pa Kent, along with Lois Lane.
Of course, Superman continues his enduring presence as a pop-culture icon. The Man from Krypton has now spent decades being regularly featured in cartoons, serials, movies, television shows, and extensive merchandising. Today, fans are anxiously awaiting Superman's next role as part of the changing DC Cinematic Universe.This is another great buy in this auction -- a Golden Age key that will appeal to investors looking for more bang for their buck. The cover image is actually very nice on this copy, with strong reds and striking blues, and should hit the sweet spot for anyone looking to start or enhance their Golden Age key collection.
