Action252Kid Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Probably all I'll ever get so here it is. OK - stupid question...how do you tell whether this is a page from Action #1 or Superman #1? In Action Comics #1, the artwork is on the reverse side. So page 5 of Action #1, that features the famous car-lift scene, is printed to the right of the book's spine. In page 7 of Superman #1, that same page is reprinted to the left of the spine. Exactly -- and because of this, the reverse side of those pages is different, so it's easy to tell which is which if someone tried to pass off a Supe 1 page as being from Action 1. I had some loose pages in the past and one of them was the car-lift scene and I thought I struck gold and had an Action 1 page, but it ended up 'only' being from Superman 1!

gadzukes Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Here's my newly completed coverless Superman 1. I had to marry wraps from 2 different copies to complete it. Does that mean this is a "Polygamist copy"? My photobucket account isn't working, so I'm trying Flickr out but can't get the photos to appear here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/147204610@N02/shares/5hmNY0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see interior single pages for Superman 1 all of the time, but it never seems like Page 31 & 32 ever come up. I still need a CF to complete my other copy.

Completing a grail-book is akin to searching for lost treasure. There are only so many copies left in existence and marrying loose parts from various copies is a unique way of bringing a copy back into this world. Kudos for your patience in finding all of the needed parts and congrats on putting it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me to the 2nd wrap. I wonder why they are so uncommon. It's tough for comic books to withstand the test of time unless someone makes a deliberate effort to keep the book safe from harm. For copies that weren't consciously kept as "collectibles", it was easy for covers and outer wraps to be lost over time. The first wrap of Superman featured the splash and expanded origin, I can see that being held on to. But the second wrap would be the next one to end up loose, difference being that visually, the artwork was mid-story. To the untrained eye, it might appear to be just another random wrap. It's not easy to put these books back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
