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.With the media frenzy of ComicConnect's recent record-breaking Action Comics 1 acquisition, collectors have been flocking to Golden Age keys, and this book is a perfect starting point for anyone looking to enter the exploding market, or collectors looking for more bang for their buck. As DC pushes the franchise into the new century with movies, video games, and other media, there's no reason to believe its escalation will end anytime soon.
