Description
Superboy #1 (DC, 1949) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. A thirty-year run began here for this enduring series which remained in publication even through those difficult pre-Silver Age days when superheroes were largely out of fashion. Maybe DC's formula for the book had something to do with it -- in the early days of this title, there were no super-powered villains (young Lex Luthor, etc.) and Superboy wasn't whisked off to the future to join the Legion of Super-Heroes every three hours. Instead, less flashy (but well-written) tales were the order of the day, usually with a subtle moral for young readers. The Boy of Steel's debut issue features a Wayne Boring cover and John Sikela art. This is a nice, bright copy, with a vivid yellow background that really pops the red and blue of Superman's costume right off the cover! This tight copy with square corners will be all but impossible to improve upon. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $12,800. CGC census 10/06: 1 in 9.2, none higher.CGC Grader Notes:
Bottom Back Cover Small Tear
Right Center Back Cover Stain
