I wish I could have bought Jeff's restored copy he offered on the boards several years back. I should've kept that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never read the original but isn't it a retelling of Action #1 plus reprints of Action 2 and 3? I wouldn't sell it , except maybe for a house. Superman #1 reprints Action Comics #1-4, replacing the beginning of Action #1's origin story with new art and new dialog. Most notable here is the 1st app. of "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, who were not in Action #1. The "reprint" component begins with Superman bringing the woman to the Governor's estate. There is a page dedicated to the scientific explanation of Superman's powers, which is also new material. The cover image was swiped from the splash of Action Comics #10, but nevertheless, became one of the most iconic images in comic book history. Many incorrectly label Superman #1 as "just a collection of reprints", but it was so much more. As the very first comic book devoted to the exploits of a single "superhero" character, it marked a pivotal point in the evolution of the medium. circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
