Description
Action Comics #5 (DC, 1938) CGC Apparent FN- 5.5 Moderate (P) Slightly brittle pages. This one's more difficult to find than even Action #1! It's just the second copy we've ever seen here at Heritage. We suspect it was only the modest page quality that led to what seems a pessimistic CGC grade, because as you can see from our scan, the cover presents extremely well. Of course, you know you've got an early Action when Superman isn't the cover feature! The Man of Tomorrow does star in the lead story, which is by his creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Leo O'Mealia drew the issue's adventure-themed cover. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $1,484; VG 4.0 value = $2,968; FN 6.0 value = $4,452.CGC Grader Notes:
Bottom Front Cover Multiple Stain
Left Top Back Cover Large Crease
Right Center Back Cover Multiple Stain
Right Top Front Cover Large Crease
Whole Book Multiple Bend
Whole Book Wear All Corners
