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 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, the Man of Steel 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. This is one book where collectors make a brilliant investment while also preserving a true cultural artifact.
