Description
Action Comics #1 (DC, 1938) CGC GD/VG 3.0 Cream to off-white pages. It's the holy grail of superhero comics, and complete copies are scarce in any grade. CGC has awarded the Universal blue label to just 43 copies to date. The first appearance of Superman is the big deal, of course, and the issue's relative scarcity just enhances the allure. On average, we offer a Universal copy of the historic issue about once every two years. Other firsts in the issue: first appearances of Lois Lane and Zatara. Co-creators Jerry Siegel (script) and Joe Shuster (art) provided the first Superman story, with Fred Guardineer and Bernard Baily also providing interior art. Currently #1 on Overstreet's list of Top 100 Golden Age Comics. Overstreet 2024 GD 2.0 value = $368,000; VG 4.0 value = $736,000. CGC census 11/24: 8 in 3.0, 25 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
