Leo O'Mealia cvr/art; 2nd app. of SupermanSuperman 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.Finding any copy of Action #2, Superman's second appearance anywhere, is already a difficult task. This VG copy is an eye-pleaser with terrific colors flying off the cover. The red dress and the yellow plane are especially prominent. The book is structurally solid. Don't hesitate to pick up the first non-Superman Action cover. We've seen very few of these, even compared to the scarce first issue.
Overstreet Guide 2017 VG (4.0) value = $20,540.
