Description
Superman #1 (DC, 1939) CGC Apparent GD/VG 3.0 Extensive (P) Cream to off-white pages. This is the fourth most-valuable comic of all according to Overstreet, and it's a milestone in the history of comics. Though Superman had been very well-received in the pages of Action Comics, it was unheard-of to devote an entire series to a character who was created for the comic books and didn't come from the cartoons or newspaper strips. DC risked it, and the series was a smash hit. The issue's famous cover is by Superman's co-creator Joe Shuster. Since restored copies of this issue are the rule rather than the exception, we suggest you give this professionally restored specimen your full consideration. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $18,250; VG 4.0 value = $36,500. From the collection of Patrick Marchbanks.CGC Grader Notes:
