Marc Lasry CollectionSuperman wasn't a sure thing. So uncertain were DC Comics (then National Periodicals) that the second issue in the Action series, prepared before the initial issue hit the stands, didn't even feature the Man of Steel on its cover. As a result, Action #2 is arguably even scarcer than the first, the number of copies on the CGC census are less than half that of the mighty Action #1. This comic, which was once considered a throwaway, worth only pocket change of the era, and intended to pass time for only a moment, has been preserved through the passage of many decades.This beauty of a comic has undergone a few tasteful professional conservation techniques that will help maintain not only its remarkable pastel color palette, which would have surely dulled due to the rigors of time, but also the longevity of this investment. This copy of Action 2 is simply in phenomenal condition and it's one of the loveliest examples we've seen. There's sure to be a dogfight over this book.
Overstreet Guide 2016 VF (8.0) value = $72,900.
