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.Superman 1 is one of the most-valuable comics in the history of the art form, it has been since comics became collectible, and it always will remain on the top of the food chain. One of the factors that drives the value of a particular comic is its scarcity, and, this is one of the rarer books out there. That being the case, the marketplace for restored copies of key books, professional or amateur, extensive or minor, is beginning to grow more and more over time. Here is a great opportunity to acquire a great-looking, bright and lovingly resurrected "holy grail" book for your collection, it is getting harder to find copies of this piece of history on the market, so we advise you to get one while you can. A bulletproof investment for sure.ÿý
