ACTION COMICS ISSUE NO. 1 AUCTION TONIGHT

[ComicConnect.com]

THE WORLD'S MOST SOUGHT AFTER COMIC!

 

The most important comic book in the history of comic books. This is the introduction of the archetype of all other heroes to come. Superman transcends comic books and pop culture. He is an icon of Truth, Justice and The American Way! Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman is quite possibly the most recognizable fictional character in the world. The creation of two struggling sci-fi fans from the Rust Belt, the Man of Steel became an instant icon to depression-era readers, and easily transformed into an icon of American spirit and spunk during the brutal days of WWII. Since then, he has lasted as both a beloved character and a symbol of modern hope and vigor, making this first appearance not just a piece of comics' history, but of American history as well.

 

Action Comics 1 is the single most important, valuable, revered, and sought after comic book in the history of the art form. This book transcends the comic book genre and has become one of the most iconic and desirable items on the planet. Action 1 bears the historic distinction of introducing the concept of the costumed superhero to the world, embodied by Superman, the creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who repurposed their rejected newspaper strips to fill out an anthology book meant to build on the success of National Publications' Detective Comics title. Much has been written about the impact of this classic comic on the ever-growing popularity of the superhero in the world's consciousness, from the late 1930s to the modern day. Superman and Action 1 continually increase in importance while espousing the timeless tenets of "truth, justice and the American way".
