Description
Superman #1 (DC, 1939) CGC GD 2.0 Cream to off-white pages. A truly significant book, Superman #1 showed up on the newsstands barely a year after the Man of Steel's first appearance in Action Comics #1, solidifying his place and status in pop culture. Superman's appearance heralded the start of the superhero genre's popularity, and his own series was the first comic title devoted solely to a single character. Superman #1 is one of the most sought-after books in the hobby, and is extremely rarely found in unrestored condition, in fact, we get more requests for Superman #1's than for any other book besides Detective #27 and Action #1. Despite having a detached cover, this book has deep reds and blues and presents well. An interesting note is the two red "July 1939" stamps on the front cover, verifying the publishing date of Summer, 1939. Considering that Superman #1 is listed as the fourth most valuable comic by Overstreet, this copy is relatively affordable in its present condition. With only 25 unrestored copies listed on the current CGC census, expect some serious bidding on this blue label offering. CGC notes, "Cover detached." Overstreet 2009 GD 2.0 value = $25,000. CGC census 1/10: 2 in 2.0, 15 higher. From an Important California Collection.CGC Grader Notes:
