Description
Superman #1 (DC, 1939) CGC VG+ 4.5 Cream to off-white pages. Superman's original title vehicle, Action Comics, couldn't tell all the tales that needed to be told about the Man of Steel, so this title was launched a year after Supe's first appearance in 1938. At this date fewer copies of this issue have been certified by CGC than copies of Action Comics #1, and, believe it or not, only four unrestored copies have earned higher grades from CGC to date. Remarkably, just two unrestored copies have graded above FN- 5.5, and none higher than VF 8.0, putting our offering in rare company among other issues of this historic comic book. The origin of the Man of Steel is retold here by creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, and Shuster provides a pin-up for the back cover. Ranked by Overstreet as the fourth most valuable Golden Age comic book, it features one of those covers that quickens the heartbeat of any serious comic book collector. Overstreet 2003 VG 4.0 value = $32,000.CGC Grader Notes:
