Joe Shuster cvr/art; 3rd Superman cvr (3/39) Comic Book Impact rating of 8 (CBI)The First World War was seared into the world's mass consciousness in the early twentieth century. Millions were traumatized by the unprecedented horrors and loss of life the war delivered in such a short time. This trauma explains the introversion the American public experienced concerning involvement in the new conflict brewing across Europe in the late 1930s. Comic covers such as this, in which Superman seems to be battling against war as a concept rather than against a defined enemy, were common in the pre-Pearl Harbor days. This Superman image is a far cry from the beefy, smiling patriot soon to grace WW II DC covers, and still startles with its raw emotion and power. This is yet another extremely rare early Action comic that commands top dollar on the Golden Age market.
The Action Comics logo appears amazingly clean on this Action #10. This copy may be a 1.8, but the cover presents beautifully, with sharp bright colors on this very early Superman issue. Only 40 copies of this book are on the CGC census. This example will only increase in value, regardless of the grade.
Overstreet Guide 2021 GD (2.0) value = $31,000.
