origin & 1st app. of Superman by Siegel and ShusterThe most important comic book in history, Action #1 stands as the introduction of the archetype of all other heroes to come as Superman transcends comics and pop culture as an icon of truth, justice, and the American way!
Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman is quite possibly the most recognizable fictional character in the world. The brainchild of two struggling sci-fi fans from the Rust Belt, the Man of Steel became an instant icon to Depression-era readers and transformed into a symbol of national spirit and spunk during the brutal days of WWII. Since then, he has endured as both a beloved character and an embodiment of hope and vigor, making this first appearance not just a piece of comics' history, but of American history as well.
We've sold more Action 1s than any other dealer on the planet, but we're always excited and delighted to add another copy to the list. This is a perfect copy for an investor looking for a vital key at a reasonable price, and it is unrestored, making it extremely attractive. The blues and reds on this copy are unusually strong for the grade, making the all-important cover image clear and compelling. This key always does killer numbers in our auctions -- this is unlikely to be an exception.
