classic Fred Ray Nazi WWII cover
Action Comics #43 is already a top Golden Age collectible for Fred Ray's classic cover, featuring Superman taking on Nazis in the air. The contents stay stateside, however, with Lois Lane looking into aviation sabotage in "The Pilot's Revenge." It's a classic tale that showcases Lois as a tough gal who's ready to shoot a scheming butler to get a confession out of him. Then she gets kidnapped for the 15th time before Clark Kent scoops her on the big story after she's rescued by Superman. That's how things went back then. The title also captures more Golden Age greatness with in-house ads for Green Lantern #1 and All Star Comics #8.
______________________________________________________
This 8.5 Action Comics #43 does an outstanding job of preserving Fred Ray's classic wartime cover — with only three copies graded higher of the scarce 78 copies in the CGC Census. Collectors will get all the impact of when this book first hit the stands in 1941, with the sturdy book perfectly showcasing the rich colors of Superman taking to the sky!
