DESCRIPTION

origin & 1st app. of Superman by Siegel and Shuster
Every passing year confirms Action Comics #1 as the most important event in the history of comics publishing. This is the book that introduced Superman as a fantastic new kind of hero, as created by teen visionaries Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The inspiring Man of Steel became an instant icon to Depression-era readers before transforming into a symbol of national pride during the brutal days of WWII.
Since then, Superman has spent decades as one of the world’s most recognizable fictional characters — transcending comics and pop culture as the face of truth, justice, and the American way. It's also clear that Superman’s first appearance will continue to be cherished by future generations. The making of DC Studios’ upcoming big-screen Superman has already become one of this year’s biggest showbiz stories.
ComicConnect is proud to have been part of Action #1's rise as the world's most collectible comic. We’ve been setting new sales records for Superman’s debut since launching the company, including the book's first $1,000,000 sale back in 2010. Earlier this year, Action #1 made headlines again with a $6 million sale for a CGC-graded 8.5 copy. That adds up to decades of passionate collectors investing wisely while also preserving a true cultural artifact.
The Superman comic that will save a family's home from foreclosure has already eclipsed pre-auction estimates and is going strong.
This comic was found in the basement of a home on the verge of foreclosure and was "a very happy accident," says ComicConnect.com's Stephen Fishler, CEO.
The newly discovered comic is the legendary comic book that introduced Superman to the world. In this case, Superman really did save the day.
"We are on pins and needles checking at least twice a day to see what our book is up to," said the consignor, who wishes to remain anonymous. "This is beyond our wildest dreams!"
