origin & 1st app. of Superman by Siegel and ShusterThe most important comic book in history, Action #1 stands as the introduction of the archetype of all other heroes to come as Superman transcends comics and pop culture as an icon of truth, justice, and the American way!
Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman is quite possibly the most recognizable fictional character in the world. The brainchild of two struggling sci-fi fans from the Rust Belt, the Man of Steel became an instant icon to Depression-era readers and transformed into a symbol of national spirit and spunk during the brutal days of WWII. Since then, he has endured as both a beloved character and an embodiment of hope and vigor, making this first appearance not just a piece of comics' history, but of American history as well.
Page 3 from Action Comics #1 contains a wealth of Superman history and heroism in just a few panels, from Clark Kent's workaday routine as a newspaper reporter, to Superman roughing up a wife-beating, knife-wielding maniac, and finally, to Kent's wooing of Lois Lane, this page, from the most valuable comic in the hobby, has plenty Superman lore to go around. This is a perfect opportunity to own a piece of comic book legend.
