ACTION COMICS #3

_____________________

CGC *1.8* (1938)

_____________________________________

ACTION COMICS is the ground-breaking comic book series that, starting with Issue #1 (Summer 1938), introduced us to SUPERMAN, the FIRST major comic book “Super-Hero” character as the term is popularly defined today.

This auction features an original first print of ACTION COMICS #3, published in pre-WWII August 1938, still in remarkable condition after 72+ YEARS– In what is just his THIRD appearance EVER, the now legendary SUPERMAN, the first true comic book “Super-Hero,” would eventually go on to become a world-renown American pop culture icon.

An invaluable piece of comic book history, the present ACTION COMICS #3, was published one full year before the now equally legendary debut of the Man of Steel’s standalone series, “SUPERMAN” (DC 1939).

Want listed! What great cover dialog.

Swamp Thing #28 Alan Moore & McManus. GREAT!

What a bad-ass page this is. It's a great image of Swamp thing and it's penned by Moore.

ORIGINAL ART Neil Gaiman/Mike Dringenberg SANDMAN 1990

Sandman took about a year to take off. After that first year the buzz was basically deafening. At this point the book had found its voice and the arc format that would take it through to the end of the run. Classic stuff.
