Description

Superman #1 (DC, 1939) CGC GD- 1.8 Off-white to white pages. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the solo debut of Superman -- and the third most valuable Golden Age comic! Less than a year after his first appearance in Action Comics #1, DC launched the Man of Steel in his own self-titled series, a first for the superhero genre, and the rest is history.
This landmark issue features the origin of Superman, written by Jerry Siegel, with Joe Shuster delivering the iconic cover, story art, and a back cover pin-up. Highly desirable in any grade, this issue stands as a cornerstone of superhero comics and a must-have for serious collectors. Only Action Comics #1 and Batman's first appearance in Detective Comics #27 rank higher on Overstreet's list of the Top 100 Golden Age Comics. Overstreet 2024 GD 2.0 value = $200,000. CGC census 5/25: 5 in 1.8, 38 higher.
