DESCRIPTION
white pgs, serial #0010101001
1st appearance of Superman w/ origin by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster
Action Comics #1 continues to be recognized 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 2024’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. In 2024, 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.
