Description
Action Comics #1 (DC, 1938) CGC GD+ 2.5 Cream to off-white pages. Here's the comic book that started it all. No other book has had the impact that this sixty-four page, all-in-color-for-a-dime classic "funny book" has had. Superman was born in the pages and on the front cover of this much-coveted item from 1938. How many times have comic book collectors dreamed of coming across a copy of this in some dark, out-of-the-way curio shop, or better yet, a dusty attic in somebody's grandmother's house? This copy, while far from the finest available, is solid and flat, with only a few light folds. Unfortunately, it has been hole-punched to fit in a binder, and while the label is not purple, CGC does note "Very minor amount of glue and very minor amount of color touch on cover." It's still a beauty, though, and it's still an Action Comics #1! Overstreet 2003 GD 2.0 value = $38,000.More information about Action Comics.
