Description

Action Comics #1 (DC, 1938) CGC VG- 3.5 Cream to off-white pages. Featuring the introduction of Superman, this book single-handedly raised the comic industry from a second-rate medium of strip reprints to a legitimate business whose sales would eventually surpass even the best selling magazines. Action #1 is the holy grail of comic books, lusted after by virtually anyone who considers themselves a collector. Naturally, since it's from 1938, high-grade copies are next to impossible to find, even if you could afford one! In fact, according to CGC's most recent census, just four unrestored copies have been certified at grades higher than FN- 5.5. Some light staining here keeps this copy at mid-grade. But, that's a solid grade for this historic issue. Overstreet 2003 VG 4.0 value = $76,000.

View the certification for CGC Certification ID 0004504001, including grader's notes if available and a link to the latest full census report for the issue.*
