Metro has a new Action 1

From the Metro Newsletter

"THE HOLY GRAIL OF COMICS PURCHASED BY METROPOLIS!

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created Superman, which launched in Action Comics #1 in June 1938. For years they attempted to find a publisher without success. When National Publications asked them to contribute a feature for their newest publication, they submitted Superman for consideration, and after re-pasting the sample newspaper strips they had prepared into comic book page format, National decided to make Superman the cover feature of their new magazine. Superman, the "Man of Tomorrow", was an instant hit, and he permanently changed the medium by creating a new genre. Metropolis owners Stephen Fishler and Vincent Zurzolo recently acquired a stunning copy of Action Comics #1. “We love buying Action Comics #1- and this copy is beautiful!” Zurzolo said. “The book has a VF+ appearance with vibrant colors and great pages! There is some professional restoration work done on the book but in today’s market where demand outweighs supply tenfold, this will not slowdown the sala bility one bit,” adds Fishler.
