CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! This book has changed hands a few times in the last few years. Yannis, and Vtcomics, have both owned it. So I will put this up for sale here first to keep it in the "family"

 

Obviously not a lot of sales data on this book, but there was the Heritage auction, this year, that showed an uncertified fair copy missing the centerfold going for over 1000.00

Here is the link:

Mine is blue lable 3.5 crm/ow pages. Notes read small peice of tape on spine, and small peice of tape on 9 pages

 

Cool Craig Flessel cover but the big draw IMO is the interior front cover ad for Action Comics #1

This book, along with New Adventure 26 and More Fun 31 have the distinction of sporting the first image of Superman, one full month Prior to his debut.

 

Asking 3300.00 2975.00 shipped and insured here in the states. International shipment will be at cost. :takeit: Rules over PMs

Thanks for looking!

I actually owned a different copy, but still a terrific book to own with an image of Superman that was printed well before Action #1 came out!

Goes back to the Hulk 180/181 argument, what exactly constitutes a first appearance? I think since this book is the first time Superman appeared (I believe, although wasn't there some earlier incarnation?), it should say "First appearance of Superman" in OSPG and on the slab. I bet that little designation would help this book a bit...

 

Lookit that, my 1,000 post...and I've managed to say so little of value in all those words...

That pic of the inside ad is from Detective 15, I am not sure if it is this particuar copy though.

That would be Dr Occults first costumed appearance from More Fun 14

He was the prototype for superman, about a year and a half prior to Action 1.

 

Another classic book to be sure!

The pic was from the interior of my copy, not the 3.5....I just showed it in a previous sales thread so that people could see what the advert. looked like.

It kind of looks like the pic I took over 2 years ago in my old bedroom before I sent it out to be graded. Would you all believe that this 15 came from outide the U.S.?! (and Im not talking even Canada)
