classic WWII patriotic shield/eagle cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Superman #14 is graced with one of the most beloved and iconic of all Golden Age covers. During the trying times of WWII, every major entertainment field committed itself to supporting the Allies in the war effort, and comics, with their direct graphics, boundless optimism, and clear stories of good and evil, exploded into the public consciousness with their relentless and compelling imagery depicting both the glories and the horrors of the war. In Superman, DC stumbled upon the most iconic, all-American hero of all time, albeit, in the form of an alien from a distant planet. Superman stood for everything pure, honest, and true about the U.S.A., from his idyllic upbringing on a farm in Smallville to his everyman alter ego Clark Kent, Superman simply oozed Americana. Even the colors of his suit matched up neatly with the stars and bars, it's no wonder Marvel attempted to emulate these facets of the Man of Steel with their own patriotic superhero, Captain America.
This absolutely iconic book, Superman #14 from January 1942, carries an impressive 8.0 grade from CGC and with off-white pages. VF is a truly stunning grade for any Golden Age comic, let alone such a popular book, which is over 80 years old. Only 20 higher-graded copies of this book are listed on the census. The black background on this cover is known to reveal even the slightest of imperfections, and very few are visible here. Superman, his logo, the very familiar-looking shield, and the bald eagle all look fantastic and patriotic. This book is so beautiful you might start saying the Pledge of Allegiance or singing the National Anthem if you look at it for too long.
Overstreet Guide 2022 VF (8.0) value = $9,900.
