Action Comics #1 (DC, 1938) CGC PR 0.5 Off-white pages. A complete copy, except for the back cover. "The most important comic book ever published" was Overstreet's note about this issue some years ago. This is the first appearance of Superman, and it's the book that started the Golden Age of comics. Superman spawned many imitators, and the character's runaway success established DC as one of the top publishers, a status it has never lost. This first Superman story, written by Jerry Siegel and drawn by Joe Shuster, also briefly tells the origin of the character. Currently the #1 book on Overstreet's list of Top 100 Golden Age Comics. CGC notes, "Back cover missing." Overstreet 2023 GD 2.0 value = $347,000. CGC census 9/23: 3 in 0.5, 41 higher.
