Description
Action Comics #2 (DC, 1938) CGC VG+ 4.5 White pages. The superhero who started it all, Superman, made his second-ever appearance in this issue, which is why Overstreet ranks it among the 20 most valuable comic books. This copy of the sought-after book won't come cheap, but compared to prices for issue #1 which are usually ten times that amount, it's a steal, particularly in light of the fact that it's just as hard to find as #1! Gerber's Photo Journal gives the book a "scarce" rating. Surprisingly for the modern-day reader, Superman didn't make the issue's cover (Action was an anthology in its early years, featuring a number of different characters). But this cover's a stunner in its own right, a gorgeous adventure illustration by Leo O'Mealia. Inside the comic, the Man of Steel is of course portrayed by his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, but big-name Golden Age artists Fred Guardineer (drawing Zatara the Magician, probably the best known of the non-Kryptonian characters in the book), Bernard Baily, and Sheldon Moldoff are also among the contributors. Take note of this copy' s outstanding page quality! And don't count on finding a better specimen -- as of this writing, only four unrestored copies of this issue have received higher grades from CGC. Overstreet 2004 VG 4.0 value = $7,076.View the certification for CGC Certification ID 0625019001, including grader's notes if available and a link to the latest full census report for the issue.*
