Check this out...First UK appearance August 1939 with FULL 4 page origin story :cloud9:

Excellent.  I have bid on these on the few occasions I have seen them offered but couldn't muster a winning bid on any issue.  Love 'em.

Not a comic but one of my favorite Superman items...

Incredible that they were able to sign across those pieces so cleanly.  I wonder why they didn't just re-use the original AC1 image?  Shuster must have still had the original art when this was printed, right?

Done in 1940. I don't know that he had the art.

I have a film negative scanner.  It would be great to scan those film strips!!!  Probably the closest you can get to early original Superman art.

A few more Supes items I dug up -

1967 Superman Primrose Confectionery Trading Cards - Complete Set of 50.  These are printed on paper not cardstock and sold in the UK with candy cigarettes.  Used the quarter to show the size.  Spoiler has close-ups if anyone wanted to read the backs more easily.
