Description
Action Comics #5 (DC, 1938) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Moderate (P) Off-white pages. Superman had not yet made his second cover appearance when this issue came out, but some of these early issues hold their own with great visual drama. This soldier of fortune cover by Leo O'Mealia is an excellent example. Gerber's The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books lists this book as "rare," and estimates that only 11 to 20 copies still exist in any condition. CGC's most recent census ranks this comic as the highest graded copy of issue #5, no unrestored copies have currently been graded as high. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, reinforced." Overstreet 2003 GD 2.0 value = $1,280; VG 4.0 value = $2,560; FN 6.0 value = $3,840; VF 8.0 value = $8,960.More information about Action Comics, and Action Comics #5 Comic Title.
