rare!! Superman by Siegel and Shuster
Marc Lasry CollectionIn "The Big Scoop" Lois Lane plays a nasty prank on the hapless Clark Kent causing him to miss the last train to the scene of a dam collapse, which he easily attends anyway, because he's Superman after all. Upon his arrival he holds the dam together long enough to save many lives, but Lois ends up getting swept away in a raging flood, a scenario which was referenced to great effect in 1978's Superman, starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. This book presents the fifth appearance of Superman ever, as well as the first kiss between the Man of Steel and Lois Lane. Add that to the scarcity of this comic, in any condition, and a perfect storm of value and desirability is baked in.This classic Golden Age book is another stunning offering from the Marc Lasry collection, and, like the majority of the books in this amazing spread, the cover is in remarkable condition, well-preserved, bright, clean and bearing very little wear-and-tear. Books this rare, and in this state, are almost never seen on the market, as they are secreted away in collections, sometimes for decades. We are extremely pleased to be able to offer our customers an opportunity to own these GA classics, just one of the many in this once-in-a-lifetime auction. Consider carefully before passing on this treasure, as it likely will not be available at any time in the near future.
