Description
Action Comics #2 Rockford pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream to off-white pages. The second appearance of Superman puts this issue among the 20 most valuable comic books in Overstreet's ranking. On the rare occasions we had seen unrestored copies before, they always had significant staining or foxing. Given this book's light cover colors, the chance to acquire such a clean copy should not be passed up! While this should command a high price, the winning bidder can take some solace in the fact that he's getting a book as hard to find as #1 for about a tenth of the price! Surprisingly for the modern-day reader, Superman didn't make the issue's cover, but this was before DC had caught on to the fact that the Man of Tomorrow was the breakout character. Still, we've seen this elegant illustration by Leo O'Mealia show up on collectors' "all-time favorite covers" lists. CGC notes, "Very minor amount of glue on cover. (2 tape stains to spine of cover.)" Overstreet 2008 FN 6.0 value = $12,375. CGC census 4/08: 1 in 5.5, 3 higher.View the certification for CGC Certification ID 910726001, including grader's notes if available and a link to the latest full census report for the issue.
