Superman without S on chest cover by Shuster; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
This classic cover features Superman tearing a bank vault's door from its hinges, in a scene later immortalized by Henry Cavill in the movie Man of Steel. The iconic image is particularly reminiscent of the cover of Action #1—helping to explain why this issue has become one of the most sought-after books from the early history of Superman. Of course, the cover also features the legendary mistake of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster forgetting to draw the "S" insignia on Superman's chest. That makes for yet another reminder that this beloved book remains a true artifact of the days when Superman was just starting to make his impact on pop culture.
