Ready, Set, show me your Action ... 7, that is

[Dr Carl]

I just purchased a copy of Action 7 last night...

 

… No, not the New 52 copy, as my local comic shop owner thought!

 

A giant Thank You to Adam (Filter81), who is both a wonderful man and a terrific dealer. He really went to bat for me and made this nearly-impossible-find possible. And thank you to Eric and Rick for their thoughtful guidance along the way!

 

My book is a newly slabbed 1.0 and I'll post a scan below.

 

That got me thinking about (and excited to see) the other Action 7's out there. So I wanted to invite everyone to post their 7's!

Oh, and here's my copy (can't wait for it to arrive!):

That is a terrific book! Congrats

Very nice pickup! I gotta get me one of these.

 

I have no ideal what you paid for this but with a handful of comics (and this is one of them) if you needed to find a solid investment for 5-20 years down the road it's a slam dunk.

 

Low grade keys have a much larger audience that can afford them.

 

You will never regret buying this comic.

 

Congrats

I have like 4 of them, but just cant get my scanner to work

There's only 30 to begin with!

 

No wonder it's so hard to find a copy!!

 

You control almost 15% of the market!!!

Congrats on your pickup!

 

Looks like an excellent candidate for possible restoration in the future when there is less of a stigma attached to this type of work. Especially considering that virtually all other HG books in blue labels are already being worked on anyways nowadays.

 

A very wise investment for the future! (thumbs u

I'm dying to know the significance of the SDNY court stamps on your copy, jbcomicbox. I actually work for the federal courts in Manhattan. Do tell.

This is one of the "lawsuit books" when DC brought an action for temporary and permanent injunction to squash "Wonderman" who (it we claimed) was a Superman wannabe..

 

See my article for more info.

Note factual error in my article is that Fox was not a DC accountant but was in the same building selling/distributing other materials and there was testimony that he followed the mailroom returns on Action.....The testimony was pretty remarkable from Fox and Eisner claiming this was not tied to Superman when clearly it did.....Eisner was disgusted by his role and soon left Fox for greater things...jb

Wow, That was a great read and a very interesting article. I'm just now slowlying growing in interest with GA comics so I've never heard of this story. Very cool that the Second Circuit Cour of Appeals affirmed the decision against Fox, that's where I work. I might have to see if I can look up the case when I get back into work on Monday.

Besides your Action #7- Court Copy, I see another Action #7- CC on Ebay once in a while for sale(with missing panels) from a board member, is there 2 court copies of the same issue?

It's fascinating stuff and an important moment in comic book industry history.

It is a great read because there in detail is where the "rubber hit the road" as to this Fox foray......
