Description
Action Comics #6 Rockford pedigree (DC, 1938) Apparent CGC VG/FN 5.0 Slight (P) Cream to off-white pages. This very early Superman adventure has the debut of an unnamed "office boy," who according to Overstreet as well as DC's own Who's Who is none other than Jimmy Olsen. It's a pretty important first appearance, considering that Superman's Pal later starred in his own comic that ran for twenty years! Neither Jimmy nor Superman made the cover, but Leo O'Mealia's absolutely superb cover illustration more than makes up for that. In fact, we regret that O'Mealia, who was best known as a sports cartoonist, wasn't much more prolific in the comic book field. We'd be remiss if we didn't note that this may be DC's first-ever gorilla cover -- a theme the publisher would return to over and over in later decades, to the delight of many fans including us. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: small amount of glue on cover, tear seal to cover." Overstreet 2008 GD 2.0 value = $1,563; VG 4.0 value = $3,126; FN 6.0 value = $4,689.CGC Grader Notes:
